The Sauser P6E is an American homebuilt aircraft that was designed and built by Donald Sauser of Tustin, California. The aircraft is an 82% scale reproduction of the 1920s Curtiss P-6 Hawk. When it was available the aircraft was supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction by the Sauser Aircraft Company.[1][2]

Design and development


Like the aircraft it is patterned after, the Sauser P6E features a strut-braced biplane layout, a single-seat open cockpit with a windshield, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from welded steel tubing and wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 25.83 ft (7.9 m) span wing has a wing area of 170.0 sq ft (15.79 m2). The acceptable power range is 180 to 260 hp (134 to 194 kW) and the standard engine used is a 212 hp (158 kW) Chevrolet small-block V-8 automotive conversion powerplant.[1]

The Sauser P6E has a typical empty weight of 1,425 lb (646 kg) and a gross weight of 2,040 lb (930 kg), giving a useful load of 615 lb (279 kg). With full fuel of 27 U.S. gallons (100 L; 22 imp gal) the payload for the pilot and baggage is 453 lb (205 kg).[1]


Operational history


Sauser P6Es have been registered with the US Federal Aviation Administration under a variety of type designations, making them hard to catalog. Types registered include Sauser QC, Johnson F11C-2PJ (built as a F11C-2 replica), Wooldridge Saco P6-E Hawk and Roof Curtis Hawk P6E.[3][4][5][6]
