Baker Pete / Special

The 1948 Pete / Special midget racer was a single-place low wing monoplane; a modified and repowered Howard DGA-3 Pete, reregistered as NX400B.

Later known as Shannon-Buente Special, it was too large and heavy to compete successfully with Goodyear racers, it was used instead for aerobatics in Cole Brothers Air Shows until c.1950.

It was bought by EAA in 1953, and redesigned as Pober Little Audrey with a replica fuselage and Luscombe shoulder-wings. The original fuselage and tail, plus some miscellaneous parts, went into a rebuild of the 1930 configuration by Repeat Aircraft, Riverside CA.
