Oh, man! I was in too big a hurry. Noting the Culveresque lines and looking up the N number and seeing that it was registered as a (builder's name) V, of course I should have know it was a homebuilt, but it didn't register. But it was certainly a homebuilt that was an homage to Culver.

Excellent, that is close enough for me. It is actually a one-of-a-kind variant called the Pierce-Arrow U2 as the real Twin Stinson had a double tail. One-of-a-kinds don't count in this contest, so you win. The airplane is what it looks like it should be.

Pretty sure I passed this puppy in the air the other day over the glider port a few miles south of El Mirage. Forward swept wings, motorglider. Couldn't tell you what type it is...

Dan.. I didn't put a time frame down... it was the late 70's....
Another hint - metal construction....
You probably saw a glass Grob G-109 motorglider... similar and lots in the US...

Good place to see gliders over Crystal or Krey Field though...

The motorglider is a Ryan, I disremember the number. As for the OTW I think
Steve McQueen had one at one time, did he have this Ryan too?
