WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- High-wing cabin monoplane braced by paired struts
- Kinner five-cylinder radial engine with exposed cylinders
- Fixed tailskid landing gear with main wheels on split axles
The wing was rectangular out to angled, rounded tips, with a gentle reduction in chord centrally to improve the pilot's upward view. The pilot sat at the leading edge ahead of two side-by-side passengers.
