Development
The Andrews A2 was designed by C.G. Andrews in Wellington, New Zealand, intended to compete in the market for a de Havilland Tiger Moth replacement in New Zealand's Aerial Topdressing industry. From the outset it was intended that a ½-scale model of the type be built and flown to prove the design, and this became the Andrews A1.
The Andrews A1 is a conventional low-wing thick-section monoplane of plywood-covered spruce and steel construction with a bubble-type canopy, powered by a 65 hp Continental flat 4 aircooled engine, and with spatted tailwheel undercarriage.
