Design and development

The Cessna CR-1 was built using $1200 in winnings from the Cessna GC-1.[1]

The aircraft was a mid-wing open cockpit taildragger using a fabric covered wooden wing structure. The landing gear was manually retractable into the fuselage.[2]

Operational history

The aircraft was tested by Eldon Cessna. The one and only flight required a 100mph launch speed, and 130mph approach speed to keep the aircraft controllable.

Variants

After the sole test flight, the CR-1 was grounded and redesigned as the Cessna CR-2.
