Check this out, Carl!

When I was growing up a friend did this with his Cub. He was using the cub for aerial chemical application and the lower wing help with the spray pattern.

Just two things slowin' me down ... Time and ... Let's see. What was the other. Oh! Yeah! Money.

I think if I had the resources I would build the Traveler. That's a more proven design. Though I sure would think long and hard about putting the 2+2 wing on it.

There was a Pacer, Tripacer, or Colt advertised a while back which was a biplane. But it also had flaps on the lower wing, so wasn't just extra wings bolted on. Most of us were curious how much the drag was affected with the extra wings and struts? And, it sure looked like a real pain getting into, and out of. But it was an eye catcher.

I wonder if it ever got sold? It was listed for a long time.

I wonder if a $50,000 offer for Mr. Ed would finally end this thread.

But still, I wouldn't be able to maintain the aircraft personally. Maybe, I'll need to put myself through A&P school first. This may take a long time, and lot's of money.

Surely, there must be better plane deals out there..............

I'd LOVE to have Mr. Ed. I've flown in it twice and it's a damn good bird.

Good luck Bill! I truly hope you find a deal!

I flew it, too. But when I flew it, it wasn't in as good a shape as it is now. But, I did get to enjoy Justina's pancakes and slept on a luxurious Alpaca fur blanket!!!!
