Note sure if this has been posted already, but a neat mating of a Verner with a Minimax style base aircraft.  Sure cant beat the sound of a radial.

yes they sound great. we have a dealer in south texas which I e-mailed him for a price on the 3vw. with import fees the engine would be around $8000.00. too steep for me.

there are some interesting features about frantisek hadrava's plane.  

landing gear reminds me of a flybaby, along with the fuselage attach fittings
some kind of flaperon mixer under the wing?  definitely doesnt have the push pull cables.  
tail is wire braced
elevator looks to be counterbalanced somewhat
cable trim tab on elevator

thats all i can see that is different.   i like how it looks and i bet its a hell of a climber.
