was
completed
by
Chuck
Baynard
of
Suffolk
VA
in September 2008. It has a newly overhauled A-65
with new Millenium cylinders and a new Sensenich wooden prop.
Chuck did it all, including the covering and painting. Of the
first flight, he writes: "I was amazed at how well it flew and how solid it felt. The first landing was a little exciting, but the gear was still in place after rollout, so I call that a good start." |

Anthony Hershberger bought N2769 in
2006, and is currently restoring it. He writes "This picture was taken
at Oshkosh in 1974. The aircraft had not flown, and was trailered
onsite. The aircraft appears to have been ready for its airworthiness
inspection at the time the photo was taken. It has a very unique paint
job to look like wooden boards. The vertical tail had a crescent moon
like an outhouse. Near the windscreen was the name of the aircraft-
“Knot Whole”. "It has an A-65 for power. It has the half door behind the seat, no headrest, and a fixed turtledeck. I plan on changing the turtledeck and adding the new door and the headrest. I also plan on adding the bi-plane fittings while it is opened up." |
