Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 7.77 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing two-seat training monoplane
- Single Menasco C4S-2 engine
- Airfoil tapering from NACA 4416R at the root to NACA 6409R at the tip
Look for a low-wing two-seat trainer with a single Menasco inline engine.
