Photo Comment

The Götaverken GV-38 was based on the Rearwin 9000L Sportster, alhtough it was not an exact copy. The wing spars and fuselage stringers were strengthened. The steel tubes of the fuselage frame were dimensionally larger than on the original aircraft. The lower section of the rudder was increased in order to improve the spin characteristics. Only 14 of these aircraft were built in Sweden and this one survives in the excellent Flyg- och Lottamuseum in Optand.
