@Full Metal, I think you're right. I would opt for the PM.2 (the PM.1 still had auxiliary wings).

Piero Magni PM.1 Vitoria.




An italian sport plane designed by Ingegnere Piero Magni, and flown in 1924. As we can see in the links provided by Sniperton, it was not only a graceful machine, but also very innovative.

Wing bracing incorporated control surfaces that could act both as flaps and air brakes.


Cowling resembles Kurt Tank FW 190 V1 prototype, more than a decade later.


I know this is not the proper place for requests, but I wonder if we could have this beauty in game some day...

Full Metal Jacket has the baton.

I advise everyone to have a closer look at this aircraft and compare it to the Me-108 and the Fi-97. It would be interesting to know how these designs evolved by seeing each other's planes.

Nice choice, funny plane

Another one inspired by the Me-108/Fi-97 general design, the Rubik M-19 from 1937:

BTW, can anyone tell me about the Me-108/Fi-97 relationship?

Anyway, our next quest item 

[mexchiwa]

The Egyptian Bu-181 - the Gomhouria?  Unless it's a double fake and they're actual Bu-181s...

[sniperton]

Yep, they are supposed to be the first batch of Bücker/Goumhourias produced already in Heliopolis, Egypt.

Just dropping to say that the IAR 823 was also inspired from the Taifun



It's still mexchiwa turn, not mine, sorry for off topic.
