Hirobo Stream-50

[Bill Glaze]

Eric:
I recently picked up a Swallow kit from Ron van Putte.  I like the simplicity of fixed gear, but would go to retracts if the handling of the airplane would be better.
Horsepower shouldn't be an issue, as I intend to power the craft with a Y.S. 1.20 (old style.)  Unless I get a lot of advice that says "don't use that engine."
Comments, anybody with knowledge of the airframe?

If you are a sport flyer that wants to try pattern with a similar 40-60 sized plane economy of scale effect, you will be delighted with how well the Stream-50 conducts itself in the air.
