Described by its inventor in Jan 1984, then 87, as “… a little puddle-jumper I made just for fun at Brainerd Field, Hartford CT, in 1922… The fuselage was laid out on the floor with spruce longerons and corner gussets and was fabric covered. The cockpit opening was formed by the wood rim of a bicycle wheel… (The) engine quit and parts began falling (but made a) normal landing. There was a teenager in the assembled crowd and I gave the plane to him. I don’t know if he re-engined it or what became of the plane.”
The S-10 Monoplane was a single-place, open cockpit, low wing monoplane, powered by a 25hp Lawrance La-3, and using wings from a Curtiss Oriole.
Appeared in 1926 as a Spenser with a 35hp Lawrance—possibly the re-rated La-3.
