| E — Engines | 2 × piston, wing-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 8.28 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing monoplane
- Two wing-mounted Lycoming O-320 engines
- Converted from the single-engine Ryan Navion
Look for a Navion-type low-wing aircraft with an engine on each wing, carrying a pilot and three passengers.
