Info listed below from Wikipedia
The Stinson Reliant was a popular single-engine four to five seat high-wing monoplane manufactured by the Stinson Aircraft Division of the Aviation Manufacturing Corporation of Wayne, Michigan.
The Reliant was used by the U.S. Army in World War II as a utility aircraft, designated UC-81, and as trainer designated AT-19. They were also used by the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force for light transport and communication duties. After the war they were sold on the civilian market as the Vultee V-77.

I don't think any wing is more beautiful than a Stinson gull wing.
Gorgeous. Just gorgeous.

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

I'm not going to argue with you on that. Thank you for watching :)

Man, I love that bird! (The Reliant, & also the Beech 17) I've never seen the beautiful contours of that unique wing so effectively captured on video as in this one. Kudos to your bride for the great camerawork. An RC version is next on my to-do list. (I can wish for a full-scale version, but ……. oh well.)

[@EdWhisenantAviation]

I agree with you on the beautiful contours, thanks so much for your kind words & for watching & have fun with your RC :)

What a great coincidence- my latest restoration on an abandoned old kit of mine has been a 1/48th scale Stinson Reliant SR.9 in a scheme pretty similar to this one (unbeknownst to me): ruclips.net/video/Ub83v_ITFQo/видео.html
Oh well- I guess that we cannot know everything about the world, can we?...
Very nice footage, by the way.
