Morning all...first chance to take a look. This looks familiar but cannot recall from where! Is it French, 1980's design?

Czech yes.
I think the airplane is pretty recent, however I also suspect it was already being manufactured by the previous company (before the takeover).

Nice stab, not that one though.
You might want to check the canopy.

Will have to go Open House unfortunately

And we have a winner!

The Skyleader 600, formerly manufactured by Jihlava.
The notch in the lower part of the canopy is caused by the winglet.



All-metal, low-wing light sport aircraft, Rotax 912 UL, ULS or 914 UL, from 80hp to 115hp turbocharged

Open House

Grrrrrr. How many times I looked at Skyleader 600 and determined that the Jude tupé did not match…… One can see it only if the angle is right .

But, on the other hand…
