No evidence of hair loss there, Reg

Well, I was starting to think I had made a mistake, 'cause it was lasting a wee bit too much.

Uhm... high-wing taildragger, large vertical stab, quite old design, peculiar round window, inverted engine. I'm wondering...

Sorry, but I have to bury myself in utterly unpleasant tasks now.
Like servicing a junky bike, writing a bunch of nonsense stuff, doing heaps of phone calls, organizing a few appointments and the like...
Really wish I could stay...
See you soon, folks.

Why don't we start by the number of cylinders and the power of the engine.

Bücker Bü 134

If so, here's something for HP:
The Bücker Bü 134 was a side-by-side twoseat light cabin monoplane in a similar category to the Taylor Cub
Some pun intended.

Cool, just stumbled….

They call it Champion 402 Lancer, but it is the N9954Y all right.
