This one sure is different from the others in the set. It is the only parasol wing airplane. It is an attractive glider but it always looks a little silly to me because of how low the wing is.
It did fly a long distance, so I guess the parasol wing actually helped with lift, plus with the propeller at the front free spinning and giving extra thrust, I guess it was one of those that was a gap filler, but it would have been nice in putting the P-38 back in, but again I suppose it was just a nice edition all the same!
Despite it being a plane from the 50's it was another beauty!

ReplyDeleteI have thought of tracing this one onto a sheet of styrofoam and making my own bi-plane design. That could be interesting!
