Contents

The RW22 is an 80% scale replica of the de Havilland Tiger Moth and was developed using the original Tiger Moth design as a guide. [1] [2]

Design and development

The RW22 was designed for the US experimental homebuilt aircraft category and was first flown in June 1999. It also qualifies as an Experimental Light-sport aircraft in the USA. [1] [2]

The airframe is constructed from wood and tube and covered with aircraft fabric. The landing gear is of conventional configuration. The aircraft's nominal installed power range is 50 to 100 hp (37 to 75 kW) and the standard engine is the 70 hp (52 kW) 2si 690, although the 60 hp (45 kW) HKS 700E, 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL engine have also been used. [1] [2]

The RW22 was originally available as a complete quick-build kit, less only the engine, but today is only offered as plans and the designer estimates it will take 600 hours to complete the aircraft. [1] [2] [3]
