Title: Smartie 29-35 profile bipe, who is the designer?
Post by: Sport Pilot on May 27, 2010, 09:06:46 AM

Hi Buddies.
I´m trying to discover who was the designer from a profile bipe called the "Smartie"
Is a profile bipe, designed for 29 to 35 engines, and both wings are straight.
Im guessing that its a Charles Mackey design, but i´m not certain of this.
thanks by the help

Carlo

Don'd hold me to this, but I believe it was Bill Winter who designed that plane. H^^

You sure of the name?  The AMA site only lists a FF gas design under the name of Smarty.    H^^

Yes, Bill Winter, MAN June 1954.  I think the front end is poorly designed and needs to be strengthened.
