The Hatz CB-1 is a 1960s American light biplane designed by John Hatz for amateur construction.

Design and development

John Hatz designed the CB-1 in 1968 as a smaller version of a Waco biplane. The CB-1 is a tandem dual-control two-seat biplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear and powered by a variety of nose mounted small engines. Steel tube fuselage and tail with wooden wings. Plans and kits of parts for the CB-1 are available for amateur construction.

A number of variants of design have been produced including the Hatz Classic which had a stretched fuselage and more rounded design and powered by a Lycoming O-320. A simpler variant of the Hatz was designed by Dudley Kelly and named the Kelly-D. A more recent variant is the lighter Hatz Bantam that fits under the LSA rules.
