The Texas Parasol was designed by Chuck Beeson and
was originally named Chuck’s Aircraft Air Cub. Plans were available for
this delightful design from Chucks’ Aircraft Co. of Adkins, Texas. It
was eventually named the Chuckbird and in 2000 the plans were redrawn by
Richard Lamb and these are now available from Sirius Aviation of
Mesquite, Texas.
