There were 10 manufactured.
The owner of serial number one was Eugene Francis May.

Military version - trainer
The USAAC purchased 4 YPT-10's and tested with 5 different engine versions resulting in YPT-10 thru YPT-10D designations.
It had a 165 hp engine and could produce top speed of 120 mph, which was not faster than other aircraft of that era, but was more than adequate for the flight training purposes of the Army.
Rarely, the YPT-10 was referred to as the PT-10.
