While it is a low-wing monoplane of largely conventional design with fixed tricycle undercarriage, the DA-2 is given a distinctive appearance by its slab-like fuselage construction and its V-tail. The pilot and a single passenger sit side-by-side. Construction of the aircraft is sheet aluminum throughout, with the sole compound curves formed a fiberglass cowling and fairings. The prototype made its first flight on May 21, 1966, and was exhibited at that year's Experimental Aircraft Association annual fly-in, where it won awards for \"most outstanding design\" and \"most popular aircraft\". A major design consideration was ease of assembly for a first time home aircraft builder. Examples of this include: few curved components, a V-tail is one less control surface to build, and each wing is made from two sheets of aluminum with no trimming involved. The DA-3 was a single DA-2 enlarged to accommodate four people. Work proceeded through 1973-74, but the aircraft was never completed. Plans have been intermittently available over the years. They are as of August 2019, available from D2 Aircraft."@en . . . "1.65"^^ . . . "1017236856"^^ . . . "10"^^ . . "65"^^ . . "15812817"^^ . . . . . . "Davis DA-2"@en . . . . . .
