Storo Bristol Bulldog

Ed Storo of Netarts Oregon, a member of EAA 292, was building what will be the only flying Bristol Bulldog in the world. He began in 2000, was expecting it to take ten years and he is nearing completion after seventeen years.

There are no plans for the Bulldog. Ed has had to create each part from photos and partial descriptions.

The original was powered by a Jupiter engine, but there are none of these in running condition. So Ed is using a P&W Wasp of the same vintage. It is a 9 cylinder 450-500 hp engine.

In early 2017 the surfaces were being covered.
