Gee, I wish someone would do one for my Spit XIVe that I’m rebuilding to fly…..great job.

Fugly……obviously related to the Stirling/Skyvan/330/360

The CAC Sabre was fitted with two 30mm Aden cannon….latest UK version of a German design.

Using or developing existing [or to some others] design has been the hallmark of aviation since the beginning. What’s the problem…do we also need to have an original failure??

By the way, does anyone have a schematic of the PW R-2800 powered CAC-15?

I nearly flew it..got to taxy it..later the engine went kaput..while airborne with the late and great Guido Zuccoli at the controls. forced landed at Oakey Army Air Base and trucked back to Toowoomba never to fly in OZ again. Legal wrangles/blame etc etc

The Dart was from a Viscount. Cavalier used an engine config with the exhaust on the left side. HT didn’t bother with that detail…his engine of choice [cheap] was from the other side. Bit of a problem with exhaust eflux due to prop wash etc taking the gasses onto the fuselage and not away due to turning direction…

It was TE384….a crying shame she left us..but thatz OK if it flies.. [It did fly in OZ as VH-XVI a couple of times until the engine started making part numbers]

owned by Hockey Treloar…..never flown like that. Went derelict and exported to USofA. Now flying with a “real” engine..[ps: HT owned the Walrus in the RAFM traded for a Mk XVI which is now in the USofA and about 2 fly..]

Just remember where Heath Robinson came from..not OZ. I think he designed a number of Brit machines…

Here is the real ‘looker’ and performer…
