OWING to the various competitions in Germany last year one type was neglected, a moderately high-powered machine for stunt flying. The Raab-Katzenstein firm has now filled the gap with the “R.K. 26,” which combines high strength factor with speed and rapid climb. This machine is a cantilever biplane with one-piece wings. Above the fuselage the top wing is carried on a capotage of steel struts and there is one N-strut towards the wing-tip on each side. The American N.A.C.A. M-12 aerofoil section is used, giving low centre of pressure travel, the wings being constructed of wood and fabric covered. The fuselage is built up of wire-braced steel-tubes, the pilot's cockpit being in rear of the passenger seat. The empennage is also constructed of steel tubes. The tubular steel undercarriage has a divided circle supported by M struts for the bottom longerons. Four fuel tanks are provided, three in the wings and a special tank for upside-down flying in the fuselage, with a total capacity of 210 litres (46 gallons).
