            Meyer's Special 
            "Little Toot" 
      
      
        
      
            
              
            
            The Meyers Little Toot was considered the Cadillac of 
            the breed. Bigger, smoother, professionally engineered, it offered 
            the choice of either a tubing fuselage or one with an aluminium 
            tail-cone aft of the pilot. Being bigger, and therefore, heavier, 
            the airplane didn't perform well on the 85 hp Continentals which was 
            considered standard-issue for sport planes. In fact, the airplane 
            was, and is, quiet commonly seen with engines as big as 180 stuffed 
            in it. Of all the older biplanes, the Toot had the best visibility 
            and best ground handling manners. It was a favourite for pilots 
            wanting to paint their airplane up in ersatz military markings 
            because of its hawk-like appearance. 
            
            The aircraft is plans built.
