I think it didn't fly, and was in fact pretty close (in idea) to the FCS concept.

PZL TS-16 Grot (translated this with Google for a decent gist).

Not claiming any priority to Bri. Did not find a trace of it myself, even based on my own ideas .

Goffin Triplan Astra PC 1911

http://www.pprune.org/aviation-histo...ml#post5299837

I think Goffin is the name of the pilot, though.
