Found it on youtube and can't find any other info on it. Interesting bird for sure. The long spindly tail spring and the 5,000+ continuous engine rpm are kinda iffy, but hell, the rest looks pretty good!

According to the registration it was first built in 1996 by the Skytruck Aircraft Corporation of Jacksonville. The third notice to renew has been sent.
I did a search for Skytruck and only came up with a twin engine production airplane produced by PZL in Poland.

Looks like a 185 or clone experimental 185 -believe they call it a Cyclone Fuselage -different wings -2 struts and the sliding door. Engine sound in video sounds strange -maybe a auto engine .If it was built and flown in Jacksonville ,Fla. that's near sea level and I suspect very lightly loaded -1 pilot and half fuel or so.Tail wheel is very tall to give almost level attitude at rest -like 182 .Interesting airplane for individual use -like to see it up close and load it up and see what it would do.
