Lance says:

"Wonderfully evocative, unrestored plane in original and very good condition. Gray-painted plywood reveals grain pattern clearly, and rib tapes are very pronounced by the darkening effect of the old (dope?) Note many cutouts in fuselage undersurface, and brass magneto switches outboard of cockpits. Starboard wing root uncovered for visibility. Undercarriage struts gray steel. Control horns varnished wood.."
