Plane #3

This is a Stearman PT 17 or a variation of one. The stiff leggeg landing gear is a dead giveway.

You threw me a curve and I have had to call in my specialist (Slim). I doubt it has a name and was probably a homebuilt some one thought up. I have hopefully sent it on to Slim for some help. But if I am right about it being a homebuilt it maynot have a name. I beleive the engine is a 5 cylinder radial, either a LeBlond or Warner. rated around 85 to 100 HP.

As I mentioned in an earlier note, Slim says he thinks it is a Nicholis - Beasley. And old eagle eye Beegles notes that the prop is pitched to run backwards or clockwise unlike more recent aircraft.. They were really before even my time! DAD
