I'm pretty sure that can capping off the exhaust is
Maxwell House, cause Folgers is red.

Smooth round cowl like a Westland Lysander, but all the rest like a
Stinson Reliant. But the SR-7, SR-9 & SR-10 all had close cowls with
bump fairings for the valve covers. Some other Stinson??

John, if this looks like a fit simply search on the registration.

Stinson came to mind for me, too.

How about this picture?
http://www.popularaviation.com/Stinson/Display.asp?Photo=967
Stinson V77 perhaps. Some differences, like the picture I noted has a one
multi piece windshield, and the OP's picture is one piece. My pic has a
small third row window, but that could have been a change at some earlier
restoration. The hole in the main gear fillet is consistent with the lift
strut, the ladder looks the same, the body shape looks the same, and the
cowl looks the same, except for a missing fairing over the exhaust stack.

It would have been helpful to see the tail feathers and wing and wheel pants
and.... but lacking any other pictures, I think a case could be made for a
Stinson or a Stinson variant of the above. I would be happy to be shown
wrong, though.

>DHC-2 Beaver ?

The mystery plane doesn't have a rounded tail.

The cowl also looks different from the de Havilland Beaver.

I spent a couple of hours browsing. Couldn't pick out
a match. Some of the types that seem not to fit:

Beechcraft
Bellanca
Cessna 165, 195
Consolidated
Curtiss Robin
Curtiss-Wright Robin
de Havilland
de Havilland Canada (DHC series)
Douglas
Fairchild
Grumman
Howard DGA
Lockheed
Luscombe
Noorduyn Norseman
Piper
Porterfield
Rearwin
Spartan
Stinson
Travel Air
Waco
Wright-Bellanca


The plane has a very unusual set of characteristics:


radial engine: 1930s-1940s?

faired in cowl: late date? (Like the Lockheed Vega?)

Squarish tail: unusual for 1930s-1940s aircraft?

Half monocoque, half tube-and-fabric fuselage: Primitive? Cheap?

Flimsy (removeable?) door: primitive.

Strut from wing to landing gear?


I admit defeat.

That's how it looks to me, too.

The tail looks to me as though it is "squared" off (angular)
rather than rounded like the Stinsons.

Smooth cowling: +

Strut to landing gear: +

Exhaust fairing: -

Exhaust door: -

Number of windows: +

Door shape: ?

AH! I may have been deceived about the "squared off" (angular)
vertical stab: the Honey Bunny may be missing its rudder or
else it may be just out of the frame.

That sure likes a Stinson, to me. I'm guessing there were alternative
cowls depending on the radial fittred...

Ken Dye's 1944 Stinson V77 has the right cowl, no doubt. I think there
was an SR-10 variant with this cowl and the right windshield, come to
think of it.

That's a Stinson V-77, according to the FAA.

http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?NNumbertxt=N69141

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the strut in the right location,
but bad cowl and windshields:

http://sabc.org.au/bfs/old%20site/News/Stinson.JPG

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the right kind of front windshield,
but it's strut seems more forward and the side windows still
do not match:

http://www.pilotfriend.com/aircraft%20performance/Stinson/Stinson%20AT%2019%20Reliant.htm

A Stinson Reliant rudder:

http://data3.primeportal.net/hangar/domeric_barbot/stinson_reliant/images/stinson_reliant_09_of_13.jpg

But other Reliants don't have the rudder come up over the top of the
vertical stab like the picture above:

http://www.airnieuws.nl/nederlandsregister/468/N1943S.jpg

Stinson SR-9: good fit on windows, strut, door, and rudder:

http://www.airbum.com/pireps/PirepStinsonSR-9.html

http://www.swannysmodels.com/Stinson.html

http://www.airport-data.com/articles/view/N17154-as-NC17154-1941-Stinson-SR-9B-Gullwing-Reliant;41.html

http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?regsearch=NC18407&distinct_entry=true

Same plane, good match for strut location:

http://data3.primeportal.net/hangar/domeric_barbot/stinson_reliant/images/stinson_reliant_12_of_13.jpg

That picture also shows some gizmos under the fuselage (pitot tubes?). The
Honey Bunny seems to have gizmos in about the same location.

The step on the Honey Bunny certainly looks 100% Stinson!

This Stinson seems to have the right kind of side-windows:

https://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/Stinson-Gullwing/IMAGES/Stinson-V77-Reliant-Gullwing-Parked.jpg


Oh, DOH!

Looks like the Honey Bunny is a 1937 Stinson SR-9:

Type: Vintage
Year: 1937
Make: Stinson
Model: SR-9
Aircraft Location: , Florida, USA
Price: $62,000 - US Dollars

There seem to be (or to have been) two SR-9s in Florida:

His plane:

http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/photo/385893.html

The cowl is definitely close.

It's clear that there is a lot of variation with
windscreens and cowls. Here's an SR-9:

An SR-10 smooth cowl:

Yup. I'd say that is pretty definitive.

We lucked out--the picture and information were left up
even though the plane is (apparently) no longer for
sale.

The Stinson radial owners list shows a number of variations
for the SR-9:

SR-9
SR-9B
SR-9C
SR-9E
SR-9E M
SR-9F
SR-9FM
