Some more pictures of s.n. 022. I like to think of is as Gulfhawk V.

It does look like a Gulfhawk! Does it have a constant prop or is that third quadrant lever for trim? I love the look, are you far enough away from Oklahoma that I could copy the paint job and look almost original? Ray

No constant speed, just throttle, mixture and carb heat. As for copying the scheme... the more the merrier. Besides mine is a copy of the Gulfhawks. Al Williams was the man, pitched in the major leagues, raced in the Schneider Cup, flew a ME-109 before WWII, did dive bombing demonstrations with live bombs, etc. He had almost half a million kids signed up in his Junior Aviator program that followed his weekly aviation publications and radio programs. I have to explain to most people that my airplane is not painted in Houston Astros colors, except those over 80, they all know exactly what it’s supposed to look like.
