Smith has always implemented innovation into their aircraft. Even the simplest of designs bennefits from this consideration. The Cipmunk may not be fast. It may not have endurance. It may not even have a large payload but one thing it does have is survivabity. In case of a forced landing over water or uneven terrain, the S-3 can jettison its landing gear for a safe belly landing!

It’s an old build. Been making planes for years but never uploaded them until recently. @WaffleCakes
Great job, especially on your other planes!
That's an old prop!
