Earl Luce measured the Museum original and drew plans. ButterCup is no longer relegated to museum status...

  • Is this a first flight?

  • 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?
