Type Description
The J/5 Family

Type Description

  • J/5 (Adventurer)
  • Three/four seat touring monoplane. As the J/1 Autocrat but fitted with 130 h.p. de Havilland Gipsy Major 1 powerplant and featuring a sloping engine firewall to provide space for a starter. Developed via a request from Kingsford Smith Aviation Services, to utilise large existing stocks of Gipsy Major powerplants in Australia, the initial modifications were confined to the shock truss and area forward of the cockpit resulting in modified cowlings. The first aircraft, a conversion of a standard J/1 airframe, was made under Auster Mod No.1442 and was designated the J/5A.
    Subsequent production aircraft were produced under Auster Mod No.1527 and designated J/5. The main differences over the original J/5A were a strengthened fuselage, the use of the Auster 6 type undercarriage, new shock cords, improved fuel lines to give better clearances off engine accessories, improved breather pipe and an improved fuel tank construction to prevent bowing.
    In Australia, the J/5 was initially known as the J/5 Autocrat but circa March/April 1949 the name Adventurer was sprayed on VH-KAD and VH-KSY. This was followed by the gradual disappearance of the name Autocrat as applied to a J/5. No other customer named this Model which was always just J/5 outside of Australia.
    Auster Mod No.1727 dated 4 February 1949 increased the number of seats from three to four with a rear bench seat, but there was no change to the designation. [5]
  • J/5B Autocar
  • 4 seat tourer based on the J/5 with a wider rear cabin to accommodate the pilot and three passengers, wing root fuel tanks and a more rounded dorsal fuselage shape achieved by using wooden formers and stringers, along with a larger fin and larger, horn balanced, rudder. 130 h.p. de Havilland Gipsy Major 1 powerplant.

Non-Auster Produced J/5 Variants

  • Kingsford Smith

  • Kingsford Smith
    Bushmaster
  • Also apparently identified as a J5-6, one J/5G Cirrus Autocar, c/n 3189, was converted by Kingsford Smith subsidiary Austerserve Pty Ltd and fitted in 1959/60 with 180 hp Lycoming O-360 engine driving a Hartzell constant-speed propeller, new instrumentation, more comfortable seating, extra sound proofing, a radio, and Goodyear hydraulic brakes.
  • J/5-190 Ag-Special
  • One J/5 Autocrat, c/n 2806, was rebuilt in 1962 as a single seat crop sprayer by Agricultural Aviation Pty Ltd with a new all metal fuselage aft of the pilots seat containing the chemical hopper. This conversion does not seem to have acquired any new designation, but in 1965 Agricultural Aviation further modified the aircraft by raising the rear roof line similar to an Autocar and fitting a 190 hp Lycoming O-435 64/65 powerplant. In this guise it was known as the J/5-190 Ag-Special.
  • J/5GL
  • One J/5G Cirrus Autocar, c/n 3070, converted in 1964-8 and fitted with a 150 h.p. Lycoming O-360 powerplant.

  • One J/5B Autocar, c/n 3097, rebuilt in August 1971 by Aerosmith at Bankstown. Fitted with floats, it featured a new fin and rudder, ventral fin, revised rear cabin glazing and a Lycoming 150 h.p. O-360 powerplant.
  • J/5G/A2
  • J/5G Autocar rebuilt and fitted with a Lycoming 150 h.p. O-360-A1A powerplant. A total of 3 conversions were produced.
  • J/5G-180
  • One J/5G Cirrus Autocar, c/n 3173, converted in 1990 and fitted with a 180 h.p. Lycoming O-360 powerplant.
  • Beech Hawk
  • One J/5G Cirrus Autocar, c/n 3064, rebuilt between 2001 and 2011 with a new and much modified fuselage and fitted with a Lycoming IO-360.

Projected Variants

  • J/5J
  • J/5 with 150 h.p. Lycoming 0-320-B2B powerplant, along with the enlarged fin and rudder of the J/5B.
  • J/5X Aiglet Trainer
  • J/5F with 150 h.p. Lycoming 0-320-B2B powerplant.
  • J/5Z Alpine

Notes

  1. C/n 2733, VH-BYE overturned on landing on 10 March 1969 and its registration was cancelled 26 August 1969. C/n 2735, VH-SAE (originally VH-BYF), was withdrawn from use 18 May 1964 and it went through several hands during rebuild, finally making its first post restoration flight in September 2009. It features the fuselage of the VH-BYE and the wings of VH-SAE, retains the c/n (2733) of VH-BYE, but the original registration of c/n 2735, VH-BYF!
  2. C/n 3136, VH-BYW, has been incorrectly identified as a J/5P, including within the Australian DCA/CASA records! It was originally built as a J/5L Aiglet Trainer but was converted to J/5R configuration in 1966 when 36' ex Autocar wings were fitted to the original Aiglet Trainer fuselage.
