History
It was a single-engined, low-wing, cantilever monoplane built of wood and metal, designed by Paul Deville. It had a 120 hp Salmson 9Ac radial engine.
Variants
Only one was built, so there were no variants.
Where you'll see it
It was presented for official tests but did not respond well to control input and did not receive a Certificate of Airworthiness. Caudron could not find customers, so development was abandoned.
