Looking for a unique model to bring to the field? This low-wing Spanish twoseater offers good moments, generous dihedral and a big bubble canopy that isn't too detailed. Designed by the Iberavia S.A. company and constructed by Aeronautica Industrial S.A. (AISA), the prototype I-11 Peque first flew in 1950.

It was powered by a 90hp, 4-cylinder Continental engine spinning a two-blade, fixed-pitch wooden prop, and it featured an all-wood, monocoque structure and two-spar, wooden wings and fixed tail surfaces with plywood skins. Its differentially operated ailerons and movable tail surfaces had wooden frames and leading edges and were covered with fabric. The elevators had trim tabs, and the rudder tab had to be adjusted on the ground. Although the I-11 never went into production, a tail-dragger version, the -11B, was developed from it. Designated as L.8C, this airplane was used for liaison and training duties in the Spanish Air Force.
