Default RE: What was it?

Should be an easy build-just use a yardstick for the wing!! They are the darndest looking things I ever saw. There used to be a commuter airline that flew them over here. Hard to believe that skinny wing provided enough lift. A friend of mine flew them for awhile. Said their nickname for it was "sky pig". I think he made reference to it as a "slab-sided S.O.B.", or something like that. Said it was not a fun airplane in a cross-wind.
