| Essentially a slightly scaled-up two-seat derivative of
the I-3, the DI-2 was powered by a similar 750hp BMW
VI 7,3 engine and possessed a similar structure. Armament
consisted of two synchronised 7.62mm machine
guns and two guns of the same calibre on a Scarff ring
in the rear cockpit. Flight testing of the DI-2 commenced
in 1929, but early in the programme the horizontal
tail separated in flight as a result of flutter and
further development was discontinued.
