Here's two more shots of the plane. It's a pretty close recreation of Roland Payen's 1935 Pa.100. [except for the paint scheme] I have changed his fixed landing gear [fixed to the fusalage] to a retractable gear on the forward wings. It's tough to get information on him, as he was eccentric in his day, and totally forgotten now. Apparently he had his own company in a suburb of Paris and had one or more planes built and was negotiating with Japan for a design when the war broke out. The Germans confiscated his planes, tested them and were not impressed. After the war his company made assorted stuff...like tubular steel furniture, and Payen did not return to aviation. For more pictures and drawings, type 'Roland Payen' into any search engine and in the first few entries there will be one for 'dannysoar.com'. This site was my introduction to him.
