The model subject of this article was a commission from a client who wanted to reproduce a trainer used in Uruguay.


The graceful lines of the type are complemented by the presence of the Issotta Fraschini V6 engine, actually a six cyl inline engine in spite of the “V” and the Warren truss bracing.

The type flew for the first time in 1926
