It is based on the Grob Twin Astir glider: it retains the glider's cockpit section, but with an added engine, different wingplant and canards: de Havilland of Canada DHC-1 Chipmunk: Every fly-in MUST have a yellow Piper Cub!

+ST0RM 145 Posted June 23, 2013 The background adds so much to the life of the photos. Switzerland was beautiful to shoot from. Great work! I love how casual everyone is around the aircraft during servicing and watching from above the HAS. Glad your day went well and thank you for sharing. -Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
