Photo Comment

Built in Fort Worth Texas in 1931, originally with an Anzani engine. Following an engine failure it was later fitted with a Szekeley 3 cylinder engine which also failed and after several owners and attempted rebuilds, it was fitted with a Franklin 65hp engine in the early 1980s. Currently fitted with a 40 HP Salmson 9 cylinder AD-9 radial, it was acquired by Al Kelch in 2002 and is the only airworthy example of the type.
