Is it a Roundabout?

I remember the Runaround and the Runabout, but not this one. Is it one of Dick Hanson's designs perhaps?

Very strange - the main gear cutouts are for taildragger config, but it has nosewheel cutout, too. The engine is not a 60cc, it is a .60ci, or a 10cc.

I think that cutout is for a pipe header and engine head, not a nose gear.

UPDATE: This is a Runabout, built in the late 80's, set up for a 1.20 4-stroke on a pipe. It has 820 in^2 wing area and is a very light setup, custom build according to Dick H.

BTerry - thanks for the update on the name/info

Well I hope that the winner of this will post a few photos here of it.
I would like to get a better look at this one.

I won this auction and will post pictures, and maybe even do a build thread.

Congratulations BTerry, I think you got a heck of a plane (custom build by Dick Hanson, right?) for very little cost. I was going to bid (YS120AC is looking for a home) but got distracted and missed it. I'm glad you got it! Looking forward to seeing it done and hearing how it flies. jeff
