Designed by Boeing engineer and aviation historian the late Pete.M.Bowers who certainly had a good eye for a real fun machine.

Can be fitted with floats or conventional undercarriage and has one very unusual feature in that a biplane version can be rigged by two people in 45 minutes,this entails bolting on a centre section mount to take the upper wing.

As a model subject it would be perfect and a few model kits and plans have appeared.

And if you want a different pseudo colourscheme what about the one shown here ?
