Great! I have saved my copy of a magazine featuring Steve and his Buttercup down in the Bahamas. Wow. Small world. I may take over my uncle's Tailwind (W-10) project soon! See you in the wild blue!

Yes, it most certainly does. Earl rode with Wittman in the original to the Bahamas, skimming the waves at 45 mph.
This is a faithful reproduction of the original. The hinged leading edge gives the wing a characteristic known as variable camber

Great to see a flying Buttercup. Does it have the folding leading edge like Whitman's original?
