Chad hope all is going well for you.

Neet Odd Ball pitts and bet it is the one and only experimental Electra varient called the C-40B and later in 1940 convered back to a C-40A with conventional gear.

Here is another picture I think of the same airplane:

Howard Hawks was another movie type.

And I screwed up when I put Frank Hawks in the Gulfhawk, the Gulf driver was Al Williams.

Status: offline 		Don that little amphib is sure interesting but no joy. At first I thought something like Loening's Air Yaght or the Eastman Sea Rover but neither are anything like it.

Man I sure would feel uncomfortable in something that used compression struts to take the flight loads like that.
