APRIL 30, 1925 H HHI300HH m m a H H H H 0 H H H H 0 H 0 H 0 13 0 The Under- carriage of the Pander light monoplane, and the neat engine cowling around the Anzani engine. 0 H H 0 0 0 H Before giving our impressions of the Pander's performance at Croydon last Tuesday, it may be as well perhaps if we just briefly refer to the general features of the machine— although, as we say, we have already described it fairly fully in FLIGHT. The Pander " Type D " is a single-seater canti- lever monoplane following more or less orthodox aeroplane practice—it certainly cannot be classed with the " motor- assisted glider " type of design and construction. The fuselage is of the monocoque type, almost oval in cross- section, built up of laminated wood formers and covered with three-ply. The wings are of one-piece, thick-section con- struction, mounted on the top longerons of the fuselage, by means of long U-bolts securing the main spars, and are very easily dismantled for storage or transport, and as easily erected. The tail unit is of similar construction to that of the wings, and is similarly mounted on the fuselage. The under- carriage is ef the inclined divided axle type—the axle ends The Pander monoplane coming in to alight after a flight at Croydon, and, inset, a photograph of the machine flying upside-down.
