Most don;t, but there were a few specials that did for ambulance or
military work. The main door is very big and there's plenty of room between
the front seats just to step between them.

There's a guy selling plans for the A/R airplanes (fixed gear) but
nobody's building one AFAIK. It looks like a pipedream, really. It;'s
the kind of deal that makes getting an airplane built for you a really
bad idea, I think.
The staggerwing is a really complicated airplane. The fuselage is a
seriously complex structure, for instance, as are the wings. and it
would probably cost you a lot more to build one than buy one from
scratch.

IIRC, there is only one door in the rear on the port side.

There's one locally, scratch built, developed his own plans by taking
measurements and photos. Took over 30 years to build. I have some
photos of it some where. IF I can find them I'll put a couple up on
my web site. I had it on our chapter news letter some years back.

Beautiful bright yellow airplane.

It's not the scald own one that was on barnstormers a while back is it?
Nice looking airplane. He was selling it sans engine last time I saw it.

It is a 7/8 scale, but I don't think this is it. Do you have an N #?
I'd dig back through my archives to try and find a photo with the
N# of the one built in Saginaw MI. Builders first name was Rex, but
I've forgotten the last name.

As the "archives" are over 35,000 images I have a bit of searching to
do. I really need multiple indexing and filing for them.

No N#. the one I saw was on Barnstormers, or maybe Ebay. Maybe a bout a
year ago? It was a very nice looking job. I think it had a 225 Jake in
it. It came up for sale again, this time without an engine. The Michigan
address rings a bell actually, but I can't be sure. It was definitely
yellow.
