Very interesting, OF. Sounds like a really exceptional aircraft. I'm amazed at the very short take off and landing runs. Wow! That'd let you take off and land just about anywhere. I assume it can be fit with snowski's for winter use in more primitive areas?

Skis, floats and even a modified wing turning it into a sea-skimmer.

What..... you didn't get out and walk on the wings ?
Isn't that the type of plane they use for that?

I couldn't make this show (in New Zealand) but some pics coming out of it are amazing.

I suspect it's a Fee, with 3 wing struts, the DH2 had 2 (I think).

I know, the next time you come to the States, you could bring several of those planes with you ... with the pilots of course.  |

I went to a show at Temora, in southern New South Wales. It was a fairly small show by US standards, but everything that flew had a big connection to Oz Aviation. No PF, that does not include flying monkeys.
The pics me took so long to post because I had to do some tidying up of dust and grass on the lens.
