AVRO TRAINING SEAPLANE

THE AVRO " VIPER " SEAPLANE is a particularly successful training machine, specially designed for the purpose, and suitable either for Government or Civilian Flying Schools. It is , being successfully operated by a number of foreign Governments.

Its water cooled engine makes it a desirable alternative for purposes or climates where an air cooled rotary engine is undesirable or unsuitable. The floats, which are constructed of double skin mahogany and are boat built, are the result of considerable experiment and are very efficient.

Complete dual control is fitted, and the incidence of the Tail Plane is variable when in flight by means of a hand wheel.

The engine (Wolseley Viper 210 h.p.) is extremely reliable, easy to control, and accessible. It is fitted with a hand starter operated from the cockpit.

The machine is very sensitive to the controls and carries out all evolutions and manoeuvres cleanly and well. A feature of note is the quickness with which it takes off from water. Properly handled it can take off in approximately 20 seconds.

The undercarriage attachments are arranged so that either a land or sea undercarriage can be fitted, thus adapting the machine for use in either capacity. Anchor and mooring ropes are provided.
