JN-4/Canuck
A Canuck is a Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" that was built in Canada under license. Back in those days, instead of sending the specs,
plans, etc., to license holders, they just gave 'em a plane, and the licensees reverse-engineered it to build theirs. In doing so, they changed
a few things so that a Canuck is distinguished by having four ailerons instead of two, has more rudder area, lacks the upper wing cutout, and
stuff like that. But it's still so close to being a Jenny that we often call ours a Jenny here at PFM! Ours is an authentic reproduction built
with a goodly smattering of original parts and components, including a genuine Curtiss OX-5 liquid cooled V-8 engine and original Jenny prop. |
