Pasped Skylark? Based on the Kinner Sportser series? (And the Kinners lead to the Rawdon airplanes. And the fellow, Kenneth Arnold (?), that reported the first "Flying Saucers" sighting in 1947 was flying a Rawdon. I remember that cause I didn't know what a Rawdon was.

...and I just love civilian round engine American aircraft from the 30s

 

[Lionheart]

Wouldnt you love to own one of those...!

Its gigantic! I cant believe how huge it is, just for two people and a hand full of gauges, and thats it....

Must be like a plane version of a Dusenberg.


What a majestic looking bird...

You could put any manner of flying vehicle from anywhere on here and within 30 minutes, some member will have precisely identified it - with some anecdotal information. Astonishing amout of collective knowledge in our member base!
