This is a very nice airy. I flew it many moons ago

I took this pic at Wonderboom many years ago.
I always wondered if it ever got completed ... is this the same aircraft ?

[avgas]

No it is not the same one but looks similar in design. wheels are definately not the same.
AKK went from Rhino park directly to the Cape. It used to have a 532 engine and hand prop was the way to get her going
It would be interested to see where the Wonderboom Biplane has gone.

Hi
Is it aerobatic capable like the original full size Curtis?

I doubt it

In answer to all the questions above

No its not the same as in the picture this is a different Jenny. Mine is fitted with a super cubby landing gear.
She is not aerobatic rated but I know for a fact she has done loops, barrel rolls and tail slides. Not with me and I will not attempt it either. The aircraft has been build extremely strong and that also becomes apparent as soon as you fly her
She did have a 535 rotax which was changed out with a new 582 blue top with a hand pull starter which I removed and fitted an E-box with electric start. I only needed to bump my elbow once and that was enough.
