History
It was designed by Jozef Medwecki and Zygmunt Nowakowski and first flew on 21 August 1930. It was powered by an 80 hp Armstrong Siddeley Genet I five-cylinder radial engine.
Variants
Only one flying airframe was built.
Where you'll see it
It performed well but lacked a constructor after Samolot became insolvent in 1930, so only one was completed.
