With the front Cowls and the Vickers MG removed we have a very cramped front cockpit which allows for 2 seat config if required.

Built in the USA. Sold into Europe and registered in The Netherlands - for some reason it did almost no flying whilst there. We picked it up in 2015 and then underwent extensive changes/reconfig at Caboolture, Queensland. First flight in OZ was 12 April 2017.

Some cosmetic detail still to be applied. She flies beautifully.

Hi there. We didn't have a million bucks for a Hispano Suiza V8 ( assuming we could find one) so she has a Ford 3.8 L V6. Prop reduction is near enough to 2:1 Cheers Griffo
