Description
The Mynah was built in Auckland by Wallace McNair. It is designed to be reminiscent of the 1920s Lincoln Sports biplane that was popular in New Zealand. The Mynah is, if anything, even more primitive with 'fuesalge' of two welded tubes designed to fold for transport and outerspace travel. At least 6 of the type were built and, as at 12 November 2013, 3 were still flying in New Zealand. They were powered by various engines included Rotax 447 and 503. Those powered by a Kornatsu Zenoah 40 hp cruised at 50 mph and had stall speed of 20 mph.
