A series of recent ultralights in the form of 15 traditional, rigid-wing aircraft designs marketed in kit form. Monoplanes included low-wing Avenger and FP-303, high-wing Horizon, Dakota Hawk, Horizon; biplanes Celebrity, Tiger Moth (80%-scale de Havilland), Youngster. Estimated construction times for basic kit advertised as 500-600 hours, or 125-150 hours for "Quick-Built" kits. Prices, engines, and specs varied with aircraft—typical for Tiger Moth: 75-100hp Norton AE-100R; span: 23'0" length: 19'0" load: 590# v: 110/90/35 range: 200; for Cublike FP-202: 28hp Rotax 447; span: 29'10" length: 17'0" load: 250# v: 60/55/26 range: 135.

-Standard aka -International 1925 = 6pOB; 260hp Salmson; span: 45'0" length: 27'0". Likely began as a surplus Standard, but a NASM abstract that credits make as "Fiske" also notes: "Manufacturer: Fiske & Catron Mfg Co, remodeler: Lafayette Airplane Works." [5678] c/n LAW-811 verifies connection to Lafayette. Of little help is further data: "Bought 10/27 from Bach Aircraft Co," apparently by Clarence B Kerr, who in turn wrote to CAA on 5/34/28: "Reconstructed for me personally." Another note, undated: "Fiske & Catron replaced Liberty motor with Salmson air-cooled, moved pilots from rear to engine secton, built in cabin, no strength members altered ... engine has about 20 hrs and was used to power a 12-passenger airship by Bach A/C Corp." Registered in 1931-32 as Fisk-Standard and Fisk-International, but its wing number never officially belonged to Catron & Fisk or International.

F-4 (F-401) Sea Bird 1936 (ATC 2-540) = 4pChwMAm; 225hp Jacobs L-5; load: 1110# v: 130/115/55 range: 400. Cecil de Ganahl. POP: 1 [X/NC16793=CFBGZ], sold to a Canadian mining company. Reverted to US registration in 1940, and was active into the 1970s. Shows up in one register as "F-4-Q2"—the handiwork of someone with a left-field sense of humor?

  Fleetwings F-5
  Fleetwings F-5 [NC16918] (George H Stuebing coll)

F-5 Sea Bird 1936 (ATC 680) = 4pChwMAm; 285hp Jacobs L-5 or 300hp L-6; span: 40'6" length: 31'6" load: 1130# v: 150/139/58 range: 430-550. Cecil de Ganahl, James Reddig. Stainless steel hull. $18,500-22,500; POP: 5 [NC16918, NC19191/19194]; [NC19193] reregistered in 1940 as [NC5].

PQ-12A 1941 = POP: 30 [41-39058/39087].

  Fleetwings Twirleybird

1929 = 2pOB based somewhat on Curtiss Jenny. "Jake" Fleming was designer and builder, brother William provided funds. News clipping ("First 'Made-in-Memphis' Ship" 3/24/29) mentions 180hp Le Rhône, but accompanying photo of fuselage frame shows a mount more suited to a top-supported engine—if this is the Southern Crane (qv) as historian John Jarratt feels, subsequent registration of [X817N] shows Anzani.

Sport aka Andercraft 1933 = Unknown type with Continental engine, no data found. [12280] c/n 1. Quite possibly related to, or built in conjuction with, Aero Sport S-1.

BG-1 SEE FBT-2.

  Fletcher CQ-1A [41-38984]

CQ-1 1943 = AAF aerial target controller. 1pClwM; tricycle gear. Project cancelled after 1 built as YCQ-1A [41-38984]. One of only three "CQ" designations, with Stinson CQ-2 and Beech CQ-3.

  Fletcher FBT-2 [NX28368] (Eaton Chronicles)

FBT-2, BG-1 1941 = 2pClwM; 285hp Wright R-760-E2; span: 30'0" length: 23'3" load: 760# v: 175/158/60 range: 540 ceiling: 19,000'. Wendell Fletcher. Bonded plywood construction; symmetrical, interchangeable wings and tail panels. POP: 1 prototype for unsuccessful military trials as a trainer; 1 modified as the YCQ-1 target control ship, and 10 as XBG-1 motorless glide bomb in 1942 [42-46892/-46901], nicknamed "Glomb." Prototype, refitted with 450hp P&W R-985 for a top speed of more than 200 mph, earned two orders for 50 each as AAF PQ-11, but contracts were cancelled when Culver PQ models were chosen instead.

  Fletcher FD-25 [N91316] (Ron Dupas)

FD-25, -25A, -25B 1951 = 1pClwM; 225hp Continental E-225; span: 30'0" length: 20'11" load: 1272# v: 187/162/45 range: 630; ff: 4/14/51 (p: John Thorp). John Thorp. POP: 1 each [N90802] for military evaluation as a counter-insurgency fighter; redesigned as 2p FD-25A [N90609], which crashed during initial testing; redesigned in 1953 as 1p FD-25B [N91316]. Built under license in Japan by Toyo Co.

  Fletcher FL-23 [N122A] (Pacific Aerospace Corp)

FL-23 1950 = 2pChwM; 185hp Continental O-470; span: 33'4" length: 28'4" load: 650# (normal) to 1650# (military). POP: 1 [N122A]. Proposed military liaison craft crashed during trials after losing its tail, and the contract went instead to Cessna 305.

  Fletcher FU-24 Prototype [N6505C] and contemporary [ZK-OHO] (Pacific Aerospace Corp)

FU-24 aka Utility 1954 (TC 4A12) = 6pClwM; 260hp Continental IO-470D or -470N; span: 42'0" length: 31'10" load: 1495# (?>1610#) v: 141/127/48 (?>130/111/42) range: 371 (?>410) ceiling: 17,000' (>:14,800'). 1p Utility agricultural sprayer with 225hp Continental O-470. Design mods by E J Sargent. Tri-gear. $22,500; POP: ?, [prototype N6505C, N6506C/6507C, et al]. With popular production by PAC in New Zealand as utility and ag planes, the design has endured for more than 40 years and influenced several of PAC's other models.

Model 1 c.1947 = 4pChwM. POP: 1 [NX1427x].

Navion 1953 = 4pClwM rg; 225hp Continental O-470; specs similar to Ryan Navion. POP: 1.

PQ-11 - Aerial target with pilot capabilities for ferrying; 450hp P&W R-985. SEE FBT-2.

1926 and c.1938 = Experiments with the Magnus Effect (qv Glossary), wherein rotating cylinders replaced wings to theoretically provide lift. The later version, renamed Plymouth (qv), had a 300hp Wright J-6 for flight (which it did not attain) and a 90hp ACE to rotate the rotors. POP: 1 [921V]. Continued interest in the Magnus Theory also surfaced in the early 1980s when Lloyd Bergeson gave up on flying machines and applied the idea to boats, replacing sails. SEE ALSO Ames 1910, Union.

1909 = No data.

VII 1970 = 2pChwMAm rg*; 90hp Continental C-60 pusher; span: 39'0" length: 25'0" load: 500# v: 95/85/40 range: 200-300 ceiling: 12,000'. Pylon-mounted motor; twin tails; * manual retraction. Marketed plans for home-builders.

  Fliteways Special [NX18219] (WASM coll)

Special aka White-Fliteways Special 1947 = 1p ClwM; 85hp Continental C-85; span: 19'0" length: 14'6". Ben White. Midget racer [NX18219] (p: Charles Bing). Destroyed in testing 1948.

Special 1938 = 1pCmwM rg; 125hp Menasco; span: 19'9" (?>21'6") length: 13'11" (?>14'10"). Not completed in time for the Nationals, then was damaged by a gear collapse on a test flight [NX97Y] (p: Bob Bean).

Der Kricket DK-1 1978 = 1pOB; 50-65hp VW; span: 16'0" length: 19'0" load: 230# v: 105/85/52 range: 200; ff: 9/19/78 [N601CS, N603DM]. Marketed kits.

Vagrant II 198? = 2pClwM; VW 1835cc; span: 21'0" length: 16'6" load: 450-500# v: 140/130/50.

1909 = No data.

1930 = 1pOlwM; 25hp Heath B-4; span: 26'0" length: 17'0" v: 75/x/30. J G Marinac. Built from magazine plans by two brothers who scratch-built everything but the engine, including the propeller. Brief flight tests showed tail heaviness, and the plane was stored until discovered in a barn c.1965 and rebuilt for static display by EAA.

  Paul Maiwurm seated in his creation

1929 = 1p barrelplane; 80hp LeRhône rotary. Curious tilt-wing experiment used a rotating barrel to create a theoretical "cyclonic vortex" at 200 rpm for thrust. The barrel and top-mounted wing would be tilted for take-off, and the angle of incidence reduced for level flight at altitude. Lateral control was from fairings moving individually or in unison as ailerons and elevators, even as flaps. US patent #1,743,467 issued in 1929. It failed to fly on its highly-advertised test flight, vibrated fitfully, and finally collapsed on itself. The remains were pushed off a pier into Mission Bay by a thoroughly disgusted Maiwurm [X660E]. Apparently regaining composure, in 1934 Maiwurm designed a 2p flying fuselage with four tubelike, tilting nacelles having screwlike propellers driven by jets from an unspecified "rocket motor," but it was never built.

#1 1917 = 1pOhwM; 7hp Indian motorcycle engine. Folkerts' first attempt was a creation made of a bamboo-framed fuselage and wings, which broke in two during initial taxi tests. Rebuilt and structurally strengthened, it managed to fly marginally in short, low hops.

#2 1919 = 1pOB; 13hp 2-cyl Spacke marine motor; span: 21'6" length: 16'0". Again, marginal flight characteristics, mostly ending in gentle nose-overs.

#3, #4 1923 = 1pOhwM; 25hp Ford T and 28hp Lawrance. Parasol-wing design; both motors produced discouraging results. However, with an extensive redesign as OmwM, and with geodetic framing, #4 finally got Folkerts airborne in Sept 1924, and he officially became a pilot, self-taught in the truest sense of the word.

#5 1925 = 1pOhwM; 28hp Henderson; span: 20'0". Embodied similar construction techniques as #4, but it failed to get off the ground. Still, it was ostensibly a first sketch of the Monocoupe design.

High-Wing 1928 = 1pOhwM; 20hp Henderson; span: 24'0" v: 70/65/35. POP: 1 [8902]. Flew successfully until 1932, when Iowa state law put a damper on flying unlicensed aircraft, then was stored in a barn. Restored c.1965 and donated to EAA Museum.

  Folkerts Mono-Special [NR500W] (K O Eckland coll)

Mono-Special (Mono Aircraft Co, Moline) 1930 = 1pOmwM; 90hp Cirrus Mk II; span: 18'5" (?>24'0") length: 16'9" (?>19'0") load: 457# v: 160/150/55 range: 350. Built by Mono—but not as SK-1, as often thought—with a motor provided by Folkerts. POP: 1 racer for Cirrus Derby, withdrawn after a landing accident at Douglas AZ (p: Roy Quinby) [NR500W]. Competed in 1930 Nationals after repair (p: Quinby). Became SK-1.

  Folkerts SK-1 [NR500W] (Frank Rezich coll)
  Folkerts SK-1 [NR500W]

SK-1 1933 = 1pClwM; 90hp Cirrus Mk III; span: 16'4" length: 22'0". SK = "Speed King." POP: 1 racer modified from Mono-Special Matilda (p: Russ Hosler, Marcellus King, Roy Liggett, Harold Neumann) [R500W]. Sold to Clem Whittenbeck (qv) in 1933, its racing career continued under various owners until its destruction in a crash in May 1938 at San Francisco, killing pilot Gus Gotch.

  Folkerts SK-2 [R283Y] (Frank Rezich coll)

SK-2 1936 = 1pCmwM rg (manual); 150hp Menasco C-4S; span: 16'0" length: 19'6" load: 300# v: 250/x/67 range: 300. POP: 1 racer for 1936-37 competitions as Toots (p: Harold Neumann) and Miss Detroit (p: Roger Don Rae) [R283Y]. Modified in 1938 with 185hp Menasco, and the name changed to Foo (p: Gus Gotch); destroyed in a crash at Oakland CA.

  Folkerts SK-3 [R14899] (Frank Rezich coll)

SK-3 1937 = 1pCmwM rg; 290hp Menasco C-6; span: 16'8" length: 21'0" load: 545# v: 300/x/75 range: 350. POP: 1 racer Jupiter/Pride of Lemont for 1937 competitions (p: Rudy Kling) [R14899]. Thompson and Greve trophies; destroyed in a crash at the 1938 Miami FL races.

  Folkerts SK-4 [NX288Y] (Frank Rezich coll)

SK-4 1938 = 1pCmwM rg; 290hp Menasco C-6S; span: 16'8" length: 21'0" (?>25'6") load: 545# v: 325/x/75 range: 350. POP: 1 racer, but wing flutter problems kept it sidelined in 1938 [NX/R288Y] (p: Roger Don Rae); crashed at the 1939 Nationals, killing pilot Delbert Bush and marking the end of Folkerts' racers.

Sport 1935 = 1pOhwM; 46hp Lawrance. It looked like an Aeronca C-3, but it wasn't. [11578].

DAS-IM aka Wolfram Special 1967 = 1pOB; span: 17'0" length: 16'0" v: 200. Racer based on Smith DAS. [N111DF].

F-3 Cobra 1975 = 1pCB; 170hp Lycoming O-290; span: 19'6" length: 16'0" load: 425# v: 207/167/58 range: 400; ff: 9/4/75. Racer with gullform upper wings, inverted-gull lower wings.

Tonopah Low c.1981 = 1pOB; 125hp Lycoming O-290-G; span: 15'0" length: 16'0" v: 185/160/100. Raced by Earl Allen.

1931 = Monoplane; 165hp Wright J-6-5D. POP: 1 [11925] c/n X-1; cancelled as dismantled 2/12/34.

Safety Wing 1929 = 2pOB; 115hp Kirkham (OX-5 modification); span: 32'0" length: 24'3". POP: 1 [7878]. Repowered Brunner-Winkle Bird A with a small, solid, full-length slat added to the top wing's leading edge, and a partially-faired landing gear. Developed for entry in the 1929 Guggenheim Safe Aircraft Competition.

  Ford-Van Auken Newspaper clip (Eric Blocher coll)

1909 = 1pOmwM; 28hp Ford T. POP: 1. A youthful effort by Edsel and Charles, constructed in a barn at this address. Somewhat resembling a Blèriot with tricycle gear, and with conventional ailerons controlled by the pilot's shoulder yoke, it did fly, if only at an altitude of a few feet.

c.1936 = Home-built. 1pOhwM. No data, but its [12726] is registered as a Hartley-Heath CH, c/n 1.

  Forney F-1 (Forney brochure)

F-1 Aircoupe 1956, 1960 = Continuation of ERCO Ercoupe 415-G, but with 90hp Continental C-90-12F; load: 500#; ff: 2/18/56. After sales failed to meet expectations, rights were purchased by the city government of Carlsbad in Aug 1960, which in turn leased rights to Air Products Co to produce the "New Aircoupe" (ff: 12/16/60). $7,500; POP: about 30 from combined companies before operations ended in 1962 and was sold to Alon.

  Foss Special [N68732] (WASM coll)

Special 1948 = 1pClwM; 85hp Continental C-85; span: 21'6" length: 15'0". Midget racer Ginny, modified and re-registered from Sorenson Special Little Mike. [N68732]. Wing shortened to 17'6" for later competitions and reregistered as [N35C].

Grey Eagle 1932 = 2pOM; 65hp Velie. [11541] c/n 376; reg expired 4/1/38. Apparently built by Simpson (qv: Simpson entry for possible relativity) and sold to Foster on 2/2/35.

  Foster (May 1937 Popular Aviation)

1937 = Home-built. 1pOBF with no data. Mentioned in Popular Aviation as looking much like a small version of a JN-4 Jenny on floats and, cryptically, that "the authorities put their big feet down on this little plane and grounded it, but that has nothing to do with its excellence." With four pairs of struts, it is, indeed, a stout-looking li'l critter.

Aerodyne 196? = 1pOhwM; 65hp Lycoming O-145; v: x/90/56. Gross wt: 850#, parasol wing. [N827Z]. Donated to EAA Air Museum in 1969.

Airspeed 1973 = 1pCmwM; 65hp Lycoming O-145; load: 256# v: x/115/55; ff: 9/2/73. [N827Z], apparently a reg transfer from the previous.

Blood, Sweat and Tears c.1965 = 1pOlwM; 125hp Lycoming; span: 30'0" length: 21'0" load: 360# v: x/120/45 range: 240. Wooden wing, steel-tube fuselage and tail. The ship was 22 years under construction... evidently 22 tough years. [N48F].

  Found 3-view (unknown magazine clip)

19?? = Specs and data needed on this low-winger.

  Found FBA-1A [CF-GMO] (clip: Flying)

FBA-1A Canada 1949 = 2pChwM; 145hp Gipsy Major; span: 30'0" length: 25'0".

  Found Bush Hawk [C-GDWS] (Rich Hulina / Found)

FBA-2C1 Bush Hawk-XP Canada 1997 (TC A7EA) = Conventional-gear or twin-float/skis, all-metal bushplane. Specs with floats in parentheses: 5pChwM; 300hp Lycoming IO-540-L1C5; span: 36'0" length: 26'6" (28'8") load: 1600# (1450#) v: x/173/60 (x/150/62) range: 1013 (817) ceiling: 18,000' (15,000'). Certified in both Canada and USA.

  Fowler Wright Flier (Dan Shumaker coll)

1911 = 1pOB; aka Cole Flier for sponsor Cole Auto Co. Fowler, a former auto racer, was first to fly the continent from west-to-east, taking 112 days in 1911 to get from Los Angeles to Jacksonville FL in his Wright Flier — he had only three hours' flying experience under his belt when he departed! Read the full story.

  Fowler-Gage 1988 NASM restoration with OX-5 (Dan Shumaker coll)

-Gage 1912 = 1pOB; 60hp Hall-Scott A-2 or 80hp A-3 (also Curtiss OX — note below); span: (upper) 41'0" to 42'8" (lower) 30'0" v: 60. R G Fowler, Jay Gage. Plywood-sided plane was built before the company (as L-W-F) began producing some 275 contract Curtiss JN-4s for the war effort. POP: about 4 flown in exhibitions by Fowler and several members of the Wright exhibition team. The NASM restoration from the original, donated by Fowler in 1950, was transferred to Hiller Museum (CA) in 1988 for display.

The Fowler-Gage was restored by National Air & Space Museum in 1987-88. Ideally a 60 or 80hp Hall-Scott would have installed, but none was available at the time. Fowler reported that he had installed a Curtiss OX in the airplane when he set it up for a public display in 1939; however, it was not flown with this engine. Though not the most desirable solution to the missing engine dilemma, the Museum chose to mount an OX-5 from its collection until such time as a Hall-Scott became available. (— Dan Shumaker 6/15/05)

1928 = 2pOhwM; 90hp Curtiss OX-5. Curtiss JN-4C modified as a clipped-wing monoplane for early experiments in variable wing areas with Fowler's design, a trailing flap assembly. With this wing the fully-loaded Jenny got off the ground in nine seconds, landed to a full stop in ten seconds, and gave a 94-mph speed, compared to the plane's original 74 mph. In 1929 a Pitcairn PA-3 fuselage was used (v: 99/80/58 with a normal wing configuration, 79/70/45 extended wing); 11 seconds to become airborne, climbed at 250 fpm.

Sport 1932 = 1pM; 35hp Szekely SR-3. [13123].

1933 = Home-built. 1pOB; possibly Anzani; no other data.

Sportplane, TP 1930 = 1pOhwM; 20hp Henderson. Home-built looking much like Aeronca C-2. POP: 1 [10689], appears in 1931-36 registers.

Special, later Columbus Skylark 1928 = 4pCM; 125hp Siemens-Halske, later 170hp Curtiss Challenger; span: 37'6" length: 26'6". Empty wt: 1220#. Fred Herman (Wright Field). POP: 1 [X5644]. Records state: "Accident: Lyle MN, 12/19/30. Lic. cancelled 1/23/31."

1913 = 2pOBF; 65hp Hall-Scott V-8; span: 50'0" v: 60/45/30. Used for sightseeing flights, to carry the first passenger across San Francisco Bay, and apparently was part of the 1913 Great Lakes Tour, as well. Francis reportedly later built several other flying boats, and was one of the exhibition pilots appearing at the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition. SEE Paterson-Francis.

  1910 Francis (WW1 Aero)

1910 = 1pOB; pusher motor (likely Hall-Scott, which were made in nearby Berkeley). Constructed by Jay Gage in Glendale CA.

  1911 Francis (WW1 Aero)

1911 = 2pOB, a two-motored 3p tractor-type designed and flown by Francis, but construction was by (Charles) Paterson Aeroplane Co, San Francisco. This ostensibly would be the first twin made in the USA. SEE Purcell.
