It is similar to the Lake Renegade except for the exposed engine, it being a two-seater, and a taildragger.

It is a variable-speed, fixed pitch prop (no feathering...I'm still new to these aviation terms).

The livery was green and white.  It is a cloth-covered plane.

I hope some designer will go for it!

Looks pretty cool, might try it as a venture into g-max, will have to see though, looks quite complex ???
