Airplane is a single-place, single-engine, low-wing, cantilever monoplane with retractable landing gear and partial wing span split flaps. General specifications are given. All flight tests were made with cg 31.4 inches behind leading edge of wing at root. Mean aerodynamic chord of 85 inches was computed to be 4.80 inches back of leading edge of wing at root. Flying qualities observed by these tests may be summarized in terms of accepted standards for satisfactory flying qualities.
