^^ Nope because the exact same thing happens, some sources claim that it was 14,63m while others (the non Italian sources) claim that it was 15,85m.

However, there's one data where they coincide, and it's the height of the airplane, and, if you resize the blueprints using the height values and have the preserve aspect ratio option activated, then the length given is... 268 pixels! which is for 12,10m long...

That's why i think that the true length of the airplane was 12,10m long...

Naixoterk, the 12.10 version looks better, IMHO. And since you did the math, and proved that was the correct size, you're done, lol.

Blackbuck,
Hero? Nope.

Did an edit to the drawing. I'd screwed up the main landing gear which is now corrected.

Got a good drawing of it? I don't.

I'm not sure that one made it past the test phase as it cut into the overall airframes' performance too much. As I recall, there was an engine change for more power to offset the weight addition but not enough to do a lot of good. Some of the additional airframe upgrades associated with the modernization made it to the regular D/D+ version.

My overall favorite is the CDF (California Dept. Forestry) spotter version for fires. We still get those flying over my region. Cool little plane.

Your are correct, it didn't pass the prototype stage
This is the only drawing I found
