Air Pictorial 1957-08 / ??? - Some American Home-Builts

Designed for aerobatics, this snappy little Robinson MDR-1 (modified) "Special" is of all-metal construction and uses cutdown Luscombe wing panels. Many other Luscombe parts were used in this aircraft, and it is powered by a 115-h.p. Lycoming engine. Despite its powerful engine it is an extremely small aeroplane.
