| This all wood and fabric aircraft was very fun to fly. With its 4415 airfoil the stall was benign and happened at about 38 mph. Ground handling was excellent although it never had brakes so thinking ahead was a must. The open cockpit resulted in a huge drag penalty and with only about 35 hp available, the prototype was under-powered and therefore suffered in climb and cruise performance. Control pressures were light so fixed trim tabs on the elevator were set for hands-off at cruise. The airplane flew a total of about 250 hours over a 4 year period and was never wrecked, damaged or ground-looped. The twin, opposed DAF engine proved to be a smooth and reliable powerplant and never failed to run flawlessly. Plans were sold and one Cracker Jack was built and is still flying today behind its original 1/2 VW engine. | |
