The 5J is a jet, but the original 5 used a Honda
snowmobile engine in
a pusher-prop configuration. The web is full of photos of the prop
Bede5.

The BD5 was introduced with the Rotak<sp?> engine, there were 2 sizes you could
order.
But I stand on my statement Bond with teh help of the Beer companies made the design it
famous, except
for a few, flyers of course.
BTW:
As long as we are way off topic here is a link to a M60 Bombsight I am working on
identifing, and an
Injection Carburetor for an R02800 Double Wasp engine used on the A-26 or C-46.
