The seaplane is equipped with specially built pontoons for salt water, and has two doors in the cabin enclosure, allowing entrance from either side. A special “stick” and two sets of rudder controls for instruction work, are included in ’Lhe extra equipment, as well as an instrument panel containing an air speed indicator, a compass, tacho- meter and altimeter, and oil Lem- perature and pressure gauges. Upon his return from the test flight Pilot Simmons reported that the new ship cruises at a speed of about 70 miles an hour, and has a top speed of almost 90 miles per ! hour. The two cylinder motor con- | sumes only about two and one-half | gallons of gasoline per hour he | said, and the 8-gallon tank allows | a cruising radius of three hours flying time.
