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.

It looks like a Heath Parasol to me. Remember, engine choice is a matter
of the builder's taste; the rudder shape can also be his choice.

Looks much too big to be a Heath Parasol
