This aircraft is a side-by-side, two-place, high-wing aircraft of all-metal construction. This is the first light aircraft to use monocoque construction and was designed for a new flat 4-cylinder engine, but the firewall was round so that a small radial engine could be fitted if the new design proved faulty. It was an efficient aircraft, able to cruise at 100 mph on 65 hp. Later developments were fitted with larger engines ranging up to 90 hp. One model was a tandem version developed for a military competition. It didn’t win, but several were produced for use as utility aircraft and cropdusters. Over 5500 were built, and hundreds (maybe even a couple of thousand) remain.
