A new one for me. Contra rotating props too. A one off?

I wonder how it compares to a Cessna 152, performance wise? The 152 could carry 3 passengers, right?
The pilot of the F-70 freezed in an open cockpit, in the Cessna 152 he has some heating...

It must be invigorating. Sounds like a feature, not a bug.

Rob, it is one of the few A/C types thhat flew with the the Bugatti U-16 engine. I have always liked odd engine configurations, and some versions of the Bugatti had counter rotating props, some did not. It was basicly 2 four cylinder engines back to back to form a straight 8 SOHC engine. Then 2 were combined to a common gearbox to form a U-16 engine. so 4 cylinder blocks, 2 crankshafts & camshafts, and one crank case. Very odd arrangement.
And we almost made them in the US. Thanks to General Barling!

Judging by the shoulder patches, that's a good assumption.
Nice shots!
