Like the CCC, the PUP from Lyle Mathews is only sold as a set of plans. The PUP (Perfect Ultralight Plane) is a single seater biplane with its lower wing of shorter span than the top. The top wing is supported by a tubular framework which forms the cockpit and also acts as the mount for the tractor engine fitted in the nose of the PUP and on which the two triangular main¬ gear legs are mounted. The wings are sup¬ported by interwing struts and flying and landing wires in an X configuration, in the tradition of the old biplanes. The convention¬al tail and the steerable tail wheel are carried on a rectangular section, aluminium spar of 1 x 3 inch (25 x 76 mm). For simplicity the PUP has a metal structure built with gussets and pop rivets. The prototype formed its first flight at the beginning of 1983 using a Lloyd 22hp engine which Lyle Mathews then re¬placed with a Kawasaki TA440.
Plans cost $15 in the US and Canada, $20 elsewhere in 1982.
