This is the aerodynamic big brother of the Cruisemaster line before going to the tri-cycle layout of
landing gear.  

This version of Bellanca can cook along at a good clip of 165 knots cruising speed and climbs like
a high speed elevator with great ease.  In my studies, the thing I found most loved about this
version of Bellanca was the power.  Its climb rate and cruise was most appreciated by their
owners.
