Probably correct, because he had a wad of papers with it when I saw it around 2000. "He may have had a set of the "Carlsbad" rectangular wings on it (something only a mother could love the appearance of, although 4 sq. ft. more wing area and higher gross was worthwhile)." Larry and his father were experimenting with a unique wing design. It is significant because it was: * All metal * Bucked rivet construction with No Place that the rivets could not be bucked * Slightly more wing area than stock, giving more lift at the same speeds. * Slightly less weight than stock, according to Larry.
