| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 8.7 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction
- Floats for takeoff and landing on water
- Hispano-Suiza 18R W-18 liquid-cooled engine
Look for a small all-metal low-wing monoplane on floats, powered by a W-18 Hispano-Suiza engine.
