The Acroduster was an elliptical-winged biplane built with the intention of competing against the Pitts Special.

Design

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]
