The aircraft was primarily of wooden construction, the fuselage being a wooden monocoque and the two-spar wing having a duralumin-covered centre-section built integral with the fuselage and internally reinforced with steel tubes. The wing carried Handley Page slots and split flaps, and dual controls were fitted.[1]

Operation

The type was produced in small numbers, for use by private pilot owners. Two examples were operational in 1965. One aircraft was still extant since 2006Template:Dated maintenance category (articles)Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters"., and is preserved at the Gianni Caproni Museum of Aeronautics at Trento Airport.[2]
