The Curtiss-Wright CW-1 Junior, originally the Curtiss-Robertson CR-1 Skeeter, was a light sports aircraft produced in the United States in the 1930s and marketed as built to sell for the price of a medium-priced automobile. It was a steel tube and fabric aircraft with a parasol wing, an open tandem cockpit, fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a small pusher engine, the three-cylinder Szekely SR-3 radial, mounted on top of the wing. About 270 were sold at $1,490 each in 1931, but the engine tended to throw its cylinders through the pusher propeller and the propeller position endangered people walking up to the aircraft, so sales had virtually stopped by early 1932 and Curtiss-Wright ended production. Some Juniors were still flown in 2012.
