    THE SHAPE OF WINGS FOR FUN


    Warwick Tiny Champ (85 h.p. Continental)

    is main of the V ARIETY in design thea Unitedcharacteristic quintet "home-built" aircraft scene in States. The on this page illustrates the point. These aircraft were among the 136 amateurbuilt machines which attended the Experimental Aircraft Association's tenth annual fly-in at Rockford, Illinois, recently. Thomas Grier is now the owner of the Windsong biplane built by Peter McGuiness in 1959. Its Continental C-85 bestows a maximum speed as high as 200 m.p.h., and a 125 m.p.h. cruise. The landing speed is described by an American correspondent as "a hot 85 m.p.h." Span is 18ft. length 13ft 6in. and gross weight 8001b. The two-seat pusher machine with the Y-tail was developed by Edgar Lesher, an assistant professor of aeronautical engineering at the University of Michigan. All-metal in construction, it is powered by a 100 h.p. Continental O-200 and has a span of 26ft and a length of 19ft. At a gross weight of 1,4851b the aircraft has a top speed of 135 m.p.h.. a cruising speed of 120 m.p.h. and a landing speed of 65 m.p.h. The high-wing Tiny Champ is an original design by William Warrick of Torrence, California. Its wing is all-metal except for wooden spars, with steel tube and fabric covering used for the fuselage and tail. The engine is an 85 h.p. Continental C-85-12. on which power the machine cruises at 130 m.p.h. and lands at 75 m.p.h., with a top speed of 145 m.p.h. Span is 20ft. length 18ft and gross weight 8311b. The remarkable prone-position canard is known as Pea Pod and was built by Terrence O'Neill of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Construction is of foam plastic with plywood skins, and the powerplant is a Kiekhaefer 0-4-35 producing 35 h.p. This machine has not yet flown, but is expected to have a top speed of approximately 135 m.p.h. and a landing speed of 55 m.p.h. The aircraft has a gross weight of 4201b, a span of 8ft and a length of 9ft. The modified Mong Sport by Charles Farrel incorporates such changes as a fully enclosed engine, increased chord I-struts, spring landing gear and a new tail configuration. Powered by a 65 h.p. Continental, the aircraft cruises at 100 m.p.h., lands at 80 m.p.h. and has a maximum speed of 115 m.p.h. Structure is of wood (wings) and steel tube (fuselage and tail), all with fabric covering. Gross weight is 800ib, span 16ft lOin (upper) and 14ft 4in (lower) and length 16ft.
