JAVELIN AIRCRAFT WICHAWK
The only side-by-side two-place biplane currently available, the Wichawk offers simplification, easy construction and easy flying to the homebuilder. It makes an excellent first project, because it is both simple and goof-proof. Designer David D. Blanton, president of Javelin Aircraft Company of Wichita had the best interests of amateur constructors at heart when he started developing the little ship.
As a matter of record, Blanton started the development in 1964, and didn't make the first flight until 1971. "It takes a long time to develop a perfectly sound airplane with a complete drawing file," he points out. The drawing file, we might add, consists of 50 sheets of production quality prints, for which Javelin charges a nominal $125.
The Wichawk is designed to meet all FAA criteria, Blanton adds, and easily could become a certified airplane. However, he estimates, production-line planes would cost $20,000 each.
The cockpit of the Wichawk is 36-1/2 inches wide, the same width as a Piper Pacer, and easily accommodates two men. There's a baggage area that will take up to 100 pounds behind the cockpit, but if you like, you can build the Wichawk as a three-place airplane, with a solo pilot's seat behind the two place front cockpit. If you opt for this, Blanton recommends the use of one of the heavier six-cylinder engines, and the mounting of the battery on the firewall to counterbalance the added weight and moment.
Wingspan is 24 feet, length 19 feet 3 inches, gross weight 2,000 pounds with a useful of 720 pounds. Wingloading is only 10.8 pounds per square foot, so the Wichawk is not a "hot" performer.
Blanton lists the Wichawk's structural strength as 12G positive and 6G negative at full gross.
The maker lists fuel tanks and metal wing ribs as the only preformed parts available; but, because the aircraft structure is so simple, few others are needed.

Zo snel al ..... goed dan, het kistje maakte zijn eerste vlucht in 1941, gebouwd als vliegende observatiepost voor het leger (volgens de eisen van het luchtvaart ministerie nr: ?.?/??) echter nooit inproductie genomen ...
