Hi Ken,
Just a quick lunchtime look-in; I was going to have a look through Greyfalcon's Rare Aircraft site's Italian section, yours probably isn't on there, but it's quick, visual and sometimes fruitful (I know Martin has used images from there in the past). However, it appears to have gone belly-up I hope it's just a temporary glitch while they change hosts/server or something, but it looks terminal at the moment
.
Oh well, it's back to work now, I will try and get back later, keep up the good work
Edit; Hi Martin, I see your light is back on again, good hunting

That's a new one on me - will have to take a look at that
Just taking another look at yours during my coffee break.
I think it's the CMASA BGA one-off medium bomber ??

Thanks Ken, I didn't have time to dig into the details of it's manufacter !
Here's something a little different, I don't think it got beyond the project stage!
I will leave my light on and monitor when possible

Off home now, 'tiz pretty quiet and this one isn't very prominent on the web, so I'll leave a couple of clues to help things along!
From the Americas
This aircraft won third prize it the CADE International Design Competition Aeronautical in 1987, a side-by-side two-seater, it was to manufactured in composite materials with a single Continental 100 hp engine mounted in the fuselage driving two pusher props on the wings via shafts and gearboxes.
Back in about an hour

Interesting looking machine, but the concept has never been really successful, has it? Seems odd that it would win an Inernational design award...and not be built.
Sorry, no idea mate.

G'day Graeme,
Big Clue
I think the main reason it wasn't built was that its designer died of a heart attack on July 25, 1993, while traveling on a commercial flight between Tucumán and Buenos Aires
Also, I have used another one of his designs on SC

Meal time!!, Rattle my cage when you've dropped off your fare
Edit:
Grub finished, now for your questions!
Tucumán is the region of Argentina where the designer was born
Ken posted one of his aircraft last August and I posted another just a few weeks ago and you got them both !!!
