This is Charlie Strange's (him again?) Percival Mew Gull. Charlie built
the Mew Gull from RCM plans. We were a bit apprehensive ( I wasn't) about
the smallish size of the wing. The airplane flew quite well with no bad
habits. Not even on the ground which was a bit surprising considering
the narrowish stance of the mains. Definately not your average looking
sport flyer. Charlie molded the great looking wheel pants and tailwheel
spat out of fiberglass. He built the 'glass cowl too.
Wingspan... 49-1/2 inches
Weight....... 3 lbs.
Engine........ Belchfire 20
Flies........... As easy as pie!
