Rose Parrakeet

The Rose Parrakeet was a single-seat sporting biplane produced in small numbers in the United States during the 1930s.

It was a conventional design with staggered single-bay wings of equal span braced by N-struts.

The cockpit was open, and the fixed tailskid undercarriage had divided main units.

An unusual feature was the use of a single strut in place of the usual flying wires.

In 1968, Doug Rhinehart obtained a licence from Jack Rose to produce five all-new Parrakeets.
