A Monoplane Trainer
The second machine is a wire-braced, low-wing, single-seater monoplane for training and aerobatic work. The general constructional methods are similar to those used in the fighter, the metal airframe being covered partly with sheet metal and partly with fabric, while the fuselage is of monocoque construction. Flaps are fitted to the wings, which are of elliptical plan form. The undercarriage consists of vee legs, faired in and braced one to the other by wires.
Power is provided by a 240 h.p. Argus As 10 C inverted vee-eight engine, driving a two-bladed wooden airscrew.
