It looks like a Midget Mustang. The MM-1 span is 18.5 ft 66 sq ft and
16.5 long and anywhere between 650-780 empty or more. If it can be
built under 500lbs empty with a light engine VW or 912 it sould be
bullet.

Long was a true artist!
And the MM-1 is his masterpiece.

BTW, have you ever seen the original MM-1 gear arrangement?

The legs are flat aluminum leaf type but the bolt to a weldiment
that has a torque tube running thru the front spar back to the rear spar.

The torque tube has two concentric tubes, welded together at the rear
end - thus doubling the effective length. An interesting solution to
a thorny problem...
