The Sunshine Clipper was a small two-seat amphibious homebuilt aircraft designed and constructed by Henry C. Palmer of St. Petersburg, Florida. The aircraft was rather unusual in using a 14 ft (4.27 m) Orlando Clipper aluminum boat of 1948 vintage as basis for the fuselage, which was then combined with the wings of a Piper J-3 Cub, and parts and components of Piper J-3 Cub, PA-22 Tri-Pacer and PA-25 Pawnee aircraft, and was powered by a 65 hp Continental A65 engine. It was under restoration. This photo is copyright © Mick Bajcar, and may not be used or published in any way without permission. It was added on 16 July 2017, and has since been viewed 925 times. |
