I saw the original at Kermit's Fantasy of Flight right before it closed.

I saw the original at Kermit's Fantasy of Flight right before it closed.

Did he restore it?

 

[a.b. gentry jr]

just wonder, what will you cover it with? and what engine size--

i just love the old school biplanes. those guys that were building these planes and then competing in them, it's not something you see as much anymore. hardly ever actually.

from the wikipedia entry for Kermit Weeks

• Weeks Solution S1-WS - N300KW - Owner Kermit Weeks' self-designed and self-built aerobatic aircraft currently in storage for restoration.
• Weeks Special S-1W - N69KW - Owner Kermit Weeks' first self-designed and self-built aerobatic aircraft based on Pitts Special.

interesting article about the Solution

Kermit Weeks...."flew the aircraft from 1980 to 1988, winning 12 medals for the United States in four World Aerobatic Championships."

Hey Tim,

Here's a little inspiration for you. It's not mine (even though I wish it was). It's a Solution X that belongs to my best friend and I will attest that it is the best flying biplane that I've ever seen.

The Original Weeks Solution. This is in Austria in 1982. He won the gold in the 4 minute free style.
