Design and development
[ edit ]
The Cardinal shares close proportions with the Monocoupe Model 22 also designed and built in St. Louis in 1927.[2] side-by-side configuration seating. The fuselage is constructed with welded steel tubing. The spar is made of spruce and ribs are basswood with aircraft fabric covering . The ailerons are controlled by push-pull tubes. The aircraft were delivered with progressively more powerful engines, the 65 hp (48 kW ) LeBlond 5DE , 90 hp (67 kW ) and 100 hp (75 kW ) Kinner K-5 , and one with a Warner 110 hp (82 kW ) engine.[2]
