Adkisson SJ-1 Head Skinner
- Adkisson SJ-1 Head Skinner
__NOTOC__The SJ-1 Head Skinner was a single-seat, gull-wing sports plane built in the USA by brothers Earl and Jerry Adkisson of Tuscola, Illinois in 1957.
In the little town of Hales Corners, Wisconsin, a small group of airplane enthusiasts known as the Experimental Aircraft Association was formed to advocate building one's own aircraft. And two brothers, Earl ("Skeezix") and Jerry Adkisson, were doing just that, at the Tuscola airport. They had joined EAA in 1955 and began gathering material for their construction project in the fall of that year. Their airplane would be patterned after a popular Polish gull-winged fighter aircraft of World War II.
The wings were from a 1946 Luscombe 8, cut and re-formed into the gull-wing configuration, while the cabin and forward fuselage section were formed of steel tubes. A Luscombe tailcone was attached to the aft end of the steel-tube frame, and standard Luscombe tail surfaces were used (with their tips squared off). Cessna spring-steel main landing gear springs were used. They planned on using a Warner radial engine of 125 or 145 hp, but settled for a 65 hp Continental with Beech-Robey controllable propeller in the initial installation.
