WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing monoplane of all wooden construction with a retractable tailwheel undercarriage
- Rectangular inner wings and elliptical outer wings
- Engine nacelles slung under the wings
The fuselage is a circular-section monocoque with a duralumin nose cone that can be removed.

History
Luigi Queirolo proposed it in 1939 as a liaison and reconnaissance aircraft for Italy's colonies, then aimed it at a touring requirement. It was completed in 1943 but did not fly until 8 October 1947, with two 130 hp engines.
Variants
Only one was built. Its Alfa Romeo 110 engines came from a scrapped CANT Z.1012.
Where you'll see it
No production followed. The enclosed cabin seated four in two rows of two, with dual controls for the front pair.
