I've checked the obvious engine choices but cannot find any reference to them in respect of the challenge aircraft. I have found another aircraft by this manufacturer which does definitely have a Simens-Halske engine, and as the engine of both aircraft appears very similar my view is that the challenge aircraft does has a Siemens-Halske engine.
Edit to say, not French or Swedish.

Árpád Lampich’s L-9 from Hungary
Edit: I will be off for a couple of hours now, so it'd be Open House if correct (I have now seen your side-view (three-view) and photo in the web
)

Evening!
What's that profile just behind the propeller cone? Can't be the prop, or it would be on the cone, not behind, I think... is this a three-surfaces aerobatic aircraft?

Hi Happy Pass. Looks right doesn't it . My source was my memory - I'd seen a few Harmon Rocket's in the US some years ago. They are converted, if I recall, from a standard Van RV-6.
LM, will have to be Open House assuming I'm correct.
