The Sorrell SNS-2 Guppy pioneered the negative-stagger biplane configuration for homebuilders, introducing an innovative design where the upper wing sat behind the lower wing for improved visibility and handling characteristics. First flown in 1967, it was a single-seat enclosed-cabin biplane powered by a 32-horsepower Rotax 377 two-stroke engine. With a 21-foot wingspan and maximum speed of 90 mph, the wooden aircraft weighed just 350 pounds empty and 600 pounds fully loaded. The kit was manufactured by Sorrell Aviation of Tenino, Washington.
