Designed by Swiss Emile Ruchonnet in 1911, this monoplane has a fuselage made up of long strips of citron wood which formed a monocoque shell. Ruchonnet founded a flying school at the “Aérodrome de la Vidamée” at Curteuil, north of Paris. He was killed in this machine, in January 1912, when attempting a cross-country flight.
Shortly before the outbreak of the Great War, student Jerzy Rudlicki (who later become known aircraft designer), after building several successful gliders 1912-1913 designed an aircraft named R-I. Its construction commenced with support of the Aero Club of Odessa (where Rudlicki resided at that time), which supplied Anzani engine. When the war erupted the plane was nearing completion and was therefore requisitioned by the Russian military which finalized the construction and made several (3 or 4) flights on it (before the plane crashed due to engine failure).

It is unknown if Rubel was manufacturer of the 1912 Gray Eagle or possibly a sales agent for Kemp.
There is a bit of physical similarity between the 30hp 4-cylinder inline air-cooled and 50hp 6-cylinder inline air-cooled and Kemp’s Gray Eagle.
