GREAT LAKES SPECIAL Model aeroplane

Racing pilot Harold Krier took an ordinary Gt. Lakes biplane as a basis for his highly modified aerobatic special. A host of mods included the fitting of a powerful radial engine. He went on to win American Aerobatic Championship three times, in 1958, '59 and '60.

This is a flying 1:3.5 scale model of that famous aircraft that has recently had a dummy engine fitted. Wingspan approx 8 foot.
