This model is the result of a personal conception. The specifications were: Low wings, biconvex profile, and above all light. With the help of my archives accumulated over the years and by taking inspiration from several other proven plans, I built what my friends later called: Blues Brother. The decoration inspired by an American team explains many things. The first flight was catastrophic due to a poor estimate of the center of gravity. After repairing the damage and correct centering, I am completely satisfied with my plane which accumulates the hours of flight.
Alas, by wanting to impress the public by inverted flight passages on the runway at a not reasonable altitude, the inevitable happened ….
It was a good plane that allowed me to progress for almost 3 years.
