The prototype first flew towards the end of 1928, and series production began in 1929. Several models were produced, differing mainly in their engines. Produced in large quantities, it was used in both civil and military contexts for initial pilot training and in Aeroclubs throughout Italy. Equipped with floats, it also flew successfully as a seaplane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, two original flying examples survive, regularly flown: one with landing gear and the other with floats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📐 Technical Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/10\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLower wingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eUpper wingspan:\u003c\/strong\u003e 82 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWing area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.6 dm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlying weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500–550 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eWing loading:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20–23 g\/dm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eRC functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rudder, Elevator, Ailerons, Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e LiPo 2-3S, 800–1000 mAh – BL Motor 60–100W 1000KV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🔨 Construction Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFaithful to the original:\u003c\/strong\u003e The model faithfully reproduces the Caproncino at 1\/10 scale, entirely made of wood like the original aircraft.
