CCF Maple Leaf Trainer II
The Maple Leaf Trainer II was a Canadian biplane trainer designed by Elsie MacGill in 1938 and manufactured by the Canadian Car and Foundry. Although it was intended for use as a basic trainer for the Royal Canadian Air Force, it was rejected and the only two completed airframes were sold to Mexico.
==Design and development==
In 1937, Canadian Car and Foundry had obtained rights to a training aircraft designed by Leland Stamford Wallace known as the "Wallace Trainer." The nearly-complete project was a conventional biplane with two open cockpits, powered by a Kinner B-5 engine. Featuring welded steel-tube fuselage, ailerons and tail with a wing structure utilizing spruce spars and ribs, the entire aircraft was fabric covered, except for aluminium panelled cockpit and engine areas. Canadian Car and Foundry renamed the project the Maple Leaf I.
Once the Maple Leaf I was completed, it was tested in 1938 with the Nicaraguan identification GN-3, with the anticipation of an order for ten to twelve production models. The preliminary flight test results were not positive and the project was wound up in 1939, citing unsatisfactory performance.
In 1938, the new Chief Designer Elsie McGill began work on the Maple Leaf II, which, except for the use of the fin and rudder from the earlier aircraft, was a new design. A conventional structure based on welded steel tube fuselage and steel-tube tail, aluminium alloy ribs with wooden wings was employed. Designed around British design requirements for strength, the Maple Leaf II was intended to be fully aerobatic. In order to expedite development and to ensure no interruption in the ongoing Hawker Hurricane production lines, a number of components were "farmed out" to sub-contractors.〔Molson and Taylor 1982, p. 166.〕
