Who am I? (Stop me when you’re ready to make your first and only guess) | I’m a two seater, conventional undercarriage, aeroplane. I entered service in the United States in 1964, and am still in production now. I was designed for not only personal use, but also for utility and flight training. I can sustain stresses of up to 5g positive, and 2g negative. My construction is a combination of wooden formers and longerons, but my main fuselage truss is metal. My fuselage and wings are, from the factory, fabric covered. I have been used for aerobatic competitions, banner towing, glider towing, and other utility purposes. When I was first introduced, I was the only American aeroplane officially certified for aerobatics. Generally powered by a 150 horse power lycoming, some derivatives have been powered by a 180hp engine. I am currently produced by the American Champion Aircraft Corporation, but have been produced by Bellanca until it went into liquidation in 1982. I went on to inspire the development of the 8KCAB Decathlon and Super Decathlon, and the 8GCBC Scout. My name is, backwards, “Airbatic” |
