I have been asked to try put together a series of "Whatever happened to..." articles on older homebuilt designs that one doesn't see around anymore.
After seeing some discussion here, I decided to start with the Polliwagen.
Basic question: Did the Polliwagen have a stabilator, or conventional elevators?
None of the pictures I've found shows an elevator hinge line or deflected elevators, but the line drawings all show elevators.
By the way, as part of my research, I found a Popular Mechanics article from 1985 called "14 Hot New Sports Planes You Can Build." It's amusing in that most of the "hot new planes" ended up in the homebuilt rogue's gallery....
Prescott Pusher
Polliwagen
Seawind
Defiant
Blanton V-8 Special
Aero Mirage
Miller GEM-260 (looks like Pushy Galore)
Swearingen SX-300
Silhouette motorglider.
Does have the Kitfox and a couple of Zenairs.
