New Auxiliary Sponsons for Prototype Coot Mike Head's Views of the Damaged Prototype Mike Head's Recent Prototype Changes

You might recognize the photo above, taken in 1970, of Mrs. Taylor holding the bow cleat

of N108D, the Coot-A amphibian prototype designed by her husband, Molt Taylor.

I show it here because Jay is the proud (6th) owner of this flying museum-piece.

Most of its restoration was performed by Mike Head, a fine mechanic hired by the 4th

ower, Dr. Bryan Shumaker, when he lived in Michigan, so click of them for details.
