The Hatz CB-1 Biplane is a two place with generous wing area - enough to make flying a pleasure on as little as 85 HP. Low landing speed, slow flight capabilities, plus a comfortable 90 mph cruise has been combined in an airplane still small enough for the homebuilder to undertake.
A straight-forward design with simple details and a minimum of time consuming jig work is the result of many hours of planning and testing.
But most of all the HATZ BIPLANE retains the grace and beauty that sets the traditional biplane apart from any other aircraft - an appeal that will long endure.
Construction: steel tube fuselage and tail; spruce spars with truss rib wing construction; bungee shocks for the gear; 6 x 6 wheels with brakes; dual controls; space for overnight bag on shelf in front cockpit; fuel capacity 33 gallons in two tanks, or 20 gallons in one tank (center section).
