This 1958 Skylark hadn't flown for nearly 20 years when Ragwood Refactory aircraft restorers and the owner turned it into a fun STOL bushplane. With only the budget as a constraint, it was converted to a tail dragger, vortex generators added to the wings and tail, along with Alaskan Bushwheels and Cessna 180 gear legs, a bigger Continental O-470 engine, leading edge slats (adapted from Carbon Concepts Piper Cub custom parts) are only some of the changes. The unique aircraft was once described as "all function, no form".
