that was common 20 years ago in light planes
they werent originallly made like that tho more of a hack job

thought so.. unsure if this is a hack job or not.. i haven't had a good look at it..

nothing real exciting about it
as i said most times its a hack job
but there are kits out there that do a better job of it

most ppl see the light like vw owners and use EJ subis now

Bloody brilliant little 4x the Hafflinger, used to drive one back in the early 70's
