Waco 2 Cootie Biplane

The Weaver 2 Cootie Biplane of 1920 was a single place open cockpit biplane rebuild of the Cootie #1 with a larger tail area and a beefed-up landing gear.

First flown on 14 June 1920, piloted by G Weaver, it eventually crashed in April 1923 having cost $1,500.

A 30hp hydroplane version was begun, but never completed because of funding problems.
