At the other end of the scale is the new Tipsy lightweight tourer and trainer, a two-seat low-wing monoplane, with numerous improvement on earlier patterns, For instance the movement of the elevator has been much restricted; this greatly lessens the danger of "stalling" (loss of speed) and makes landing much less of a terror to novices.
The Tipsy is most economical to run, Fitted with a 60 h.p. air-cooled engine it burns only 3% gallons of petrol an hour at a cruising speed of 100 m.ph. The top speed of this attractive light aeroplane is 110 m.p. and it has a range of fully 350 miles.
