History
The Yugoslav Royal Air Force held a design competition in 1936 for a trainer to replace the Zmaj Fizir FN biplane, specifying a low-wing layout so that pupils could get used to flying modern fighters. Rogožarski built the prototype, which first flew in 1940.
Variants
Only one aircraft was built.
Where you'll see it
The prototype was handed to the Royal Yugoslav Air Force for evaluation and was repaired after tests; it is believed to have been burnt in April 1941 to keep it from enemy hands.
