This Smythe Sidewinder (with optional tip-tanks) was built in 2003 and is here visiting from its Courtenay (CAH3) base. Construction is welded steel tube with aluminum skinning and it is stressed to +/- 9g. Like many home-built designs of its era (1969) it was eclipsed by the later easier to build Van's RV-3 and 4, so only two on the Canadian Register at this time. In keeping with the tail logo, the owner brought in two boxes containing injured wild birds for repair.
