The Osprey is a tiny single-place flying boat. It is built from fir and pine; the vertical fin is an integral part of the structure. The hull is skinned with mahogany plywood and fiberglass. The steel-tube pylon mount for the engine is bolted to the wing center section. A simple wing-folding mechanism holds the wings in position with the same steel pin that locks them in the extended position. Power is provided by a 90-hp Continental.
