Weatherly W620 / W620TP
Built in Hollister, California and first built and certified in 1979 (TC A26WE). The 620, the first of which, N9245W, first flew in 1979 and was powered by the 450-hp R-985. The next aircraft, N9259W, was fitted with a PT6A-11AG. One similar aircraft was manufactured in 1960 but Weatherly remained faithful to the radial.
Production waned in the mid-eighties but with the introduction of the model 620A sales picked up again. The 620A wingspan was further extended another five feet to 40 ft 8 in (the wing is now 277 sq.ft) with longer ailerons and a new wingtip design but still retaining the vanes. The 620A also featured a new tail. The empty weight of the 620A is 2,840 lbs and the maximum all-up weight is 5,900 lbs, the hopper capacity being 335 US gallons.
In 1991 the 620A was upgraded to the 620B with major improvements to the cockpit and the addition of two auxiliary fuel tanks providing extra range on ferry flights. Put into production in 1992, this has by far been the most popular model with over one hundred been built and sales not only in the United States but Canada, Central and South America and Australia.
The 620B was then offered with a turbine, this time an Allied Signal TPE331-1, which Weatherly Aviation market as the 620BTG.

Weatherly W600
In production in 1998 were the 600 and 600 BTG single-seat agricultural aircraft, the latter a turboprop version.
Weatherly W201
When the supply of Fairchild aircraft ran out, John Weatherly started to build the complete aircraft. Two model W201s were built in 1966/67, N86686 and M86687. Powered by a 450-hp R-985 Pratt & Whitney, these aircraft had an improved wing design with the span increased to 39 ft.
The 1970 production aircraft, the W201A, were built between 1968 and 1971. These can be identified by a triangular shaped fin and rudder. More than 100 were built at $22,800.
The W201B model commenced production in 1971 and 45 aircraft were built at $31,500 in 1974.
Another version followed in 1975, the W201C, and this was the Weatherly that introduced the wingtip vanes which diffuse the normal formation of the wingtip vortex. The 201, 201A, and 201C models were under TC A10WE.

Weatherly WM62C
Weatherly Aviation’s first aircraft was the WM-62C, N3775G. This was followed by at least 18 aircraft 1961-1965 which were conversions of the PT-19/-23 aircraft. They can be identified by their rounded Fairchild fin and rudders. The first were open cockpit with a roll-over frame but later versions were fitted with an enclosed cockpit.
Single place aircraft, power was from a Continental W-670 or P&W R-985.
Watt D.W.2
The Dudley Watt D.W.2 was a 1930s British two-seat light biplane designed by K.N. Pearson for Dudley Watt. The D.W.2 was built at Brooklands and was a wood and fabric biplane with a tailskid landing gear. It had two open cockpits and was powered by a 90 hp (67 kW) ADC Cirrus III piston engine.
The D.W.2 was designed to be offer exceptional handling at low speeds and to be a competitor for the de Havilland Moth family.
Construction was started in 1929 and it was built by K.N. Pearson at Brooklands, first flying on 17 May 1930.
Only one D.W.2 (registered G-AAWK cn.1) was built and this was sold by Dudley Watt in February 1934, it had been dismantled at Selsey by the end of year.

Watson Aeroplane
In 1902 Scotsman Preston Watson is said to have fitted a Santos-Dumont engine to a biplane glider and flown it successfully. The improved version is said to have made many successful flights in 1908.
Engine: 30 hp Humber
Watson Windwagon
The original Wind Wagon was built in Texas by Gary Wilson and was based on the Teenie Two and used the similar wing ribs that slipped onto the “C” spar. The fuselage was a tapered tube from the seat backward and from the seat to the firewall. The aircraft was equipped with tricycle undercarriage and a ½ VW.
First flown on 19 April 1977 (N64614), the Windwagon measures 18 feet from wingtip to wingtip and it features all-aluminum construction with pop rivets. The tricycle gear are nonretractable, but the wings are removable for storage or transportation. The powerplant is a 900 cc half-Volkswagen modified engine and drives a four-blade propeller. On just two cylinders tip speed is 110 mph, and climb rate is 450 to 500 fpm. The wing features a Clark Y wing section with constant chord. There are conventional ailerons and no flaps. The fuselage is a conventional semimonocoque structure made from pop-riveted aluminum. Morry Hummel introduced a few changes.
In 1980 full size plans were available for US$50.
