Nice mount. Love that big fat gull wing! |

I really miss it except for the 11 gal/ hour at 105kts. Had 400hrs in it...... |

Jgood, Kermit ( as we called it, because of the color ) was with the Royal Navy during WWII hunting German subs. |

11 gal/hr... I had someone trying to talk me into buying an AN-2 at the Reno air races this weekend. Obviously no chance, but the 50 gal/hr at 90kts rather underlined the decision! I'll take the 5 gal/hr of the Ercoupe! Kermit seems a good compromise for the round engine noise, and load carrying. And those wings! |

What is it? |

It's a 1942 Stinson V77 Reliant, military version known as an AT19. 300hp Lycoming R680. It's not a SR10. Could be known as a SR10G. |
