The strange little V-tailed Davis DA-2A is nothing new on the homebuilt scene.  It's been flitting back and forth at fly-ins for six or seven years now.  Though it's not disliked, it somehow manages to go relatively unnoticed in a world of super-exotic airplanes.  The Davis isn't as fast as a Thorp, it won't lomcevak with a Pitts, and next to a Midget Mustang it looks like a packing crate.  Sleeker, faster, sexier backyard bug-smaskers are the eye-catchers, but in a contest for the most underrated homebuilt, the Davis DA-2A should be the winner.

The PAC Cresco is a turbo-prop powered derivative of the FU-24 PAC Flether aerial topdressing aircraft, manufactured by the Pacific Aerospace Corporation in Hamilton, New Zealand.  It is not directly related to the turbo-prop powered Fletcher which flew in the late 1970s.  The Cresco is a low-wing monoplane which, like the Fletcher but unlike most topdressers, has tricycle undercarriage and places the cabin forward of the hopper, at the leading edge of the wing - which gives the pilot of the Cresco a good field of vision.
