This Formula-V sport racer features a straight-line wing design. Its designer, Charles Lasher, chose steeltube construction for the fuselage and tail because of its ability to withstand the shock of a crash better than other materials. The wings are a wooden-frame structure with fabric covering. The ship is made to handle any Volkswagen engine from 35 to 65 hp.
