Only two of these diminutive machines were built. Designed as an aerobatic aircraft the first flew on 15th September 1936 and came to it's end in an accident on 1st January 1938. The second model was never completed, possibly because of the war.
Power plant 1 x 37 h.p. Szekely SR-3-0

I just googled this and found a picture of the 2004 replica. A little cracker , looks like a Rotec radial at the sharp end so music to the ears as well.
