Kimball McCullocoupe explained

The Kimball McCullocoupe is a homebuilt aircraft built around the design of the Clipwing 110 Special Monocoupe.[1]

Development

The McCulloCoupe is an aircraft built as an evolution of air racers starting with the Velie Monocoupe. The Monocoupe evolved into the Monocoupe 110, eventually flown as an air-racer with clipped wings. Ben Howard built a larger version of the Monocoupe, "Mister Mulligan". The Mullicoupe replicas were developed using Pratt & Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior engines. The McCulloCoupe uses a Vedeneyev M14P radial engine with features developed for the Pitts Model 12. Construction began in 2000, with the first flight in 2004.[2]

Design

The McCulloCoupe has side-by-side configuration seating, a high-wing, conventional landing gear and a radial engine. The wings use plywood covering.[3]
