The Fleetwing biplane was designed for the fixed base operator for use as both trainer and passenger hopper. It was well suited for the latter in that the economical OX-5 engine cut costs, and the two-passenger front cockpit doubled gross profits. The good performance of this handsome ship can be credited to the clean installation of the engine and radiator – very neat for 1926.
Designed by Dave Stott, this model qualifies for Flying Aces Club events: Dime Scale, FAC Scale, and Golden Age Scale. The prototype weighed 18.1 grams ready to fly.
