Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Mid-mounted, straight |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 5.79 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Two-seat tandem biplane
- 80% scale outline of the de Havilland Tiger Moth
- Conventional tailwheel landing gear
Engines of 50 to 100 hp are suitable, with the 70 hp 2si 690 as standard and the Rotax 503 and 912UL also used. It looks like a smaller Tiger Moth with tandem open seating and conventional gear.
Specifications

History
The RW22 was developed using the original Tiger Moth design as a guide and first flew in June 1999. It was designed for the US experimental homebuilt category.
Variants
It was first offered as a complete quick-build kit less the engine, but is now sold only as plans. The designer estimates 600 hours to build it.
Where you'll see it
One had been built by December 2000. The airframe is wood and tube covered with aircraft fabric.
