The TL-1 Tu luc was the first product studied, designed and successfully manufactured in 1984-1985 by Vietnamese Air Force Institute.
The TL-1 was tested successfully ten times totalling 102 minutes on the air.
The Daphne was an original homebuilt design of Arpad ‘Art’ Szaraz and produced in association with James Vidervol. Development took four years and the construction of the prototype aircraft was carried out by Vidervol and Szaraz in Cleveland OH.
Registered N847Z (c/n 961) the aircraft made the first flight on October 4, 1961, fitted with an 85 hp Continental C85-8 engine, which was later replaced by a 90 hp Continental C90. Flown by Vidervol, it was prototype for Szaraz SDS-1A.
The aircraft was still on the register for 2013.
Developed into the Szaraz SDS-1A Daphne.

The 1929 Victor Metal Aircraft Co Vimac was a two-place, open cockpit high-wing monoplane, powered by a Lee motor. It was reported as in development, but no final version was found.
The 1929 VK-1 was a two-place, open cockpit biplane powered by a 90hp Cirrus Mk III engine. Designed by Felix Knoll and registered N851N c/n 101, the wingspan was 30 ft 0 in.
The registers indicate this was a possible metal-fuselage evolution of Knoll KN-1, but leave unexplained a major engine change to 220hp Wright.
The 1929 Victor Metal Aircraft Co G-1 Sportster was a two-place monoplane powered by a 75hp Lenape LM-5RA and registered NX498E.
Designed by William L Shaffer, the 1928 SS-1 was a three-place, open-cockpit biplane. It was fabric-covered steel-tube fuselage with wood-framed wings.

The Victa R2 was a four-seater monoplane designed by Luigi Pellarini. The R2 was all-metal with a T-tail, retractable nosewheel suspension, and was powered by a Lycoming O-360 piston engine with 135 kW.
The prototype C/n 02-1 VH-MVR flew for the first time on February 15, 1961. In April 1961 it was decided at Victa to cancel the development in favor of the Airtourer, as it turned out that the production cost would have become too high.
The R2 was disassembled and stored at Milperra until the Victa plant was closed. It was later taken to Bankstown where it remained in storage for many years.
