Lots of Pitts influence in the structure particularly in the cockpit controls, aft fuselage truss, and empennage. Tail volume is adjusted to be closer to Pitts. Landing gear is slightly longer than stock Skybolt. Engine is pulled back four inches from that shown on drawings for 180 hp. Wooden leading edges. Caged ball bearings instead of sleeve bearings in control idlers and sticks for smoother more precise control. Sealed control surfaces. The airplane is a delight to fly.
