    Ka-boom! The Mendenhall M-1 it is.

    This one was powered by a Cyclomotor engine that apparently didn't work too well.

    This one is for the lovers of flying boats. Yes, it did fly (in 1975) and true beer lovers should not need much time to come up with the right name.
    Sorry for the grainy picture, but it is rare, aint it?

    Well a Mr Miller (I believe that is also the name of a brand of what Americans call 'beer') designed a shrouded-prop zoomer in the 70's. Maybe he did a flying boat too ? Can't find any record myself but, then again, I don't have the Wout vaults at my disposal !

    Hi Mike, Indeed a Miller although a different Mr. Miller then the pusher job you mentioned (which was by James Miller). This Model B by Mr. Russell Miller many stock and automotive parts and had a Chevy V8 engine. I think it still exists (reg. N3RM)
    Here`s a Bavaria for you

    Obviously, you're both very much in the right area.

    But I want the name, please........

    The Monoduck is an interesting design. The tail section looks outdated, yet the hull, floats and front end look a little more modern than 1934.

    Here is a sleek one...
