Photo Comment

The sole surviving example of a Spratt Controlwing unconventional light aircraft. A small series was built in the 1960/70s, some having a seaplane hull. All had a pusher engine at the rear and the wings could be moved in flight to provide control. Side-by-side seating for pilot and passenger.
