• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

It is indeed, Robert. The XF7B-1. The canopy abandoned because, surprise, they couldn't see anything out of it !

Over to you -:icon29:
 
Thanks, Mike.
Must have been one of the rare occasions where a closed cockpit was converted into an open one.

Back to biplanes again, obviously not a one-off. :bee:

A novel feature was folding wings for storage in tight places.

The designer had aircraft related patents issued as early as 1919 but this seems to have been his only full project.
