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?

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...
