Here's One
 

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

Good win on the Runabout. Will be waiting on the photos/info.

Ron
