04/30/2008. Remarks by Walter van Tilborg: "This unusual single-seat homebuilt had a somewhat protracted development and remained a one-of-a-kind aircraft. The all composite CC-01 was the work of Mr. Claude Chudzik and in original form it had twin 12 hp Solo Hirth engines in pusher installation in the wing trailing edge and also had the fins located at the extreme end of the wings.

It was not flown in this form and was modified with a single 25-30 hp KFM107 (pusher) engine in the rear fuselage, as seen in the Earlier view, but only ground tests were performed.

In final form the CC-01 had again been modified with the vertical tails now in a mid wing position and the first flight was made in November 1987. Plans to make the type available for amateur construction were abandoned and Mr. Chudzik shifted interest to his CC-02 jet engined design. The CC-01 was later mentioned as a planeur (glider) in the register."
