Anybody know what this little single-seat taildragger is (not the RV)? I hear it's called the "Buckshot" but I can't find any information on that type (perhaps that is just the nickname the original builder gave it). I am told it shares some characteristics with a Swift (see leading-edge slots in the second photo). The N-number painted on the wings is currently assigned to a Swift. I'm aware of the TEMCO Buckaroo (a tandem Swift variant) but this isn't one--perhaps it's a one-off derivative? Best estimate is that this was built in the mid- to late '60s; the original builder stopped work on this and built a Thorp in the '70s.
I'll get a chance to take a look in person this weekend and maybe can learn more, but I thought maybe you guys who have socks older than me (I'm lookin' at you, @Pops!) might know something.
