Always hard to say, with a homebuilt. The builder can base a lot of his
own aircraft on an existing design, and make the kind of changes as shown.

It could well be a Parasol, but it also bears a resemblance to the
Pietenpol Sky Scout, the single-seat version of the Air Camper. The
bracing system is certainly closer to the Sky Scout, but the cosmetic
features like the tail shape are still different.

Looks much too big to be a Heath Parasol
