This photo shows me sitting in N42RS, the Coot that I built from 1972 to 1983.

I flew it for 100 delightful hours, but then sold it for the value of the engine & prop

after I had converted it to a flying boat and didn't feel like repairing a delaminated hull.

Unfortunately, the buyer, Carl Anderson in Ohio, developed Parkinson's Disease and passed on.

In 1993 I bought N1395X, built by Frank Henley, so I only have photos of it flying.

Click on the Coot of your choice for photos of each.
