Just a little time on my hands so I posted these shots of a ..................
Unlike most aircraft designs, the aircraft was first fitted with floats, then skis and, finally, fixed landing gear.
The final design layout looked much like Noorduyn's earlier Fokker designs, it was a high-wing braced monoplane with an all-welded steel tubing fuselage structure and wood stringers applied to it for the attachment of a fabric skin. The aircrafts wing had an all wood construction and was fabric covered, except for the flaps and ailerons, which were made of welded steel tubing. It had a divided type landing gear fitted to fuselage stubs, the legs were secured with two bolts each to allow the alternate arrangement of floats or skis. The tail wheel strut could be fitted with a wheel or tail skid
The above aircraft flew at a Seaplane/Floatplane gathering last week on the television series "Ice Pilots"....
Comments and advice most welcome...
