Good question DA.

Might have been a bit short of nose up control at low speed off a deck? In which case easier to mod the bearers than change other things? Just guessing

Yes, it is a Cessna 152

I guess that means a silhouette of a Reims-Cessna 150, and an Aerobat is still available for posting. con-pilot has control.

Sorry Glory and Dick, neither a Spad nor a Macchi. It did, however, have a V-12 power unit.
