Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, straight |

| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 7.1 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-wing basic trainer closely resembling the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260MP
- Modified wingtips compared with the SF.260MP
- Modified cockpit compared with the SF.260MP
It closely resembles the SF.260MP trainer, but has modified wingtips and cockpit. It is powered by a 260 hp Lycoming O-540-E4A5.

History
It was designed and built by the Self-Reliance Development Wing in 1975 from locally designed jigs and fixtures. The first test flight was on 21 May 1975.
Variants
Only one prototype was built. It was developed from the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260MP, with a slight increase in wingspan and a lower empty weight.
Where you'll see it
The project was cancelled. The prototype was initially thought to be a modified SF.260MP, and its performance was slightly reduced by comparison.
