This machine was owned by M. Betteo and built by A. Caravaggio, who also provided the four-cylinder air-cooled “semi-radial” engine, which was placed immediately in front of the pilot and drove the propeller via a long shaft. The tail surfaces were fixed, but the incidence of the wings could be changed by 35 degrees by a patented mechanism, thereby achieving pitch control.
The plane made some short flights at an altitude of 3-4 m in late 1910, in Pallanza on the shores of Lago Maggiore in northern Italy.
