The Cessna CR-1 was a short-lived air racer that was part of the CR series of Cessna racers.
Design and development
The Cessna CR-1 was built using $1200 in winnings from the Cessna GC-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.
Operational history
The aircraft was tested by Eldon Cessna. The one and only flight required a 100 mph launch speed, and 130 mph 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.
