08/31/2010. Remarks by Johan Visschedijk: "Louis Peña designed and built this very little aerobatic aircraft, incorporating many features of the CAP 21 (hence the name Capeña), including control surfaces and (truncated) fuselage. An entirely new wing of exceedingly short span was developed by Michel Dozieres. Power plant was an Avco Lycoming AEIO-360 four-cylinder horizontally-opposed engine.
