Sportster

Kinner Airplane and Motor Corp. introduced an airplane of its own design in 1932. The side-by-side two-seat Sportster series of low wing taildraggers was powered by 100-hp Kinner five-cylinder radial engines. Some have been repowered with the 125-hp Kinner. The aircraft employed a mixed construction with the conventional fabric-covered wooden wings and fabric-covered steel-tube fuselage combination.

The Sportwing was a refined version with eight built circa 1935.
