Is that the one nicknamed Fifi? I think it must be it, since it's probably the single flyable example.

I just happened to read a small article about this on a recent issue of the Aeroplane Monthly magazine the other day. The interesting bit about this aircraft is that it doesn't use the original R-3350-23 powerplants because they were troublesome to maintain. What they did was build new engines, taking parts from three different sub-models (or production blocks) of the R-33350 to ensure increased reliability. In order for the custom engines to fit, some cowling modifications were done as well.

I can't recall exact specifications, but if i remember to do it i'll scan the relevant page from the magazine and put it up here tomorrow.
