The Stits was only the smallest in 1952...I think.

Seems like there has been a ferocious battle over the course of the years for the title of "smallest"... and they got faster too!

It does seem very quiet mate!!

I looked in at lunchtime and it seemed to be bowling along well! I'm just having a coffee break then it's back to the grind. Hopefully the others will be back soon.

Your challenge appears to be tailless (horizontally), is that an exhaust in the fuselage side over the wing, if so a turboprop?? Very large chord elevons! and wassat funny little shape at the wing T/E, was wondering if it might be to pull out a weapon if a dive-bomber?

Back to work now but your answers might stimulate some interest
