The Acroduster I SA700 is an American single-seat homebuilt aerobatic biplane.
The Acroduster was an elliptical-winged biplane built with the intention of competing against the Pitts Special.
The aircraft also owes some of its design to the Midget Mustang. The fuselage is of aluminum construction rather than the popular tube and fabric for the type. The wings are similar to the Stolp Starduster. Roll rate is 240 degrees per second. [1]

The Parsons-Jocelyn PJ-260 was an aerobatic biplane aircraft built in the United States to participate in the 1962 World Aerobatic Championships in Budapest. It served as the prototype for a family of closely related aircraft produced under designer Nick D'Apuzzo's name as the D-260 and D-295 Senior Aero Sport', D-200 Junior Aero Sport and the D-201 Sportwing which were marketed for homebuilding. The original PJ-260 was named for the pilots who commissioned the aircraft and hoped to compete with it, Lindsey Parsons and Rod Jocelyn. The PJ-260 and its derivatives were conventional short-coupled biplanes with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. The single-bay, equal-span wings were staggered and braced with N-struts, and the outer panels of the upper wing were swept back. The fuselage construction was of fabric over a steel-tube framework, and the wings were of fabric-covered wooden spars and metal ribs.
The Focke-Wulf S 24 Kiebitz was a sport aircraft built in Germany in the later 1920s.

The pilot and a single passenger sat in tandem open cockpits, and it was fitted with a fixed tailskid undercarriage. The wings could be folded for transportation or storage, and the aircraft was designed to be towed by a car.
