Astra-Șeșefschi

The tall engine cowling made the nose deep, but as it reduced rearwards into a rounded decking over a rectangular section structure the fuselage became more slender.

Its pilot's cockpit was just behind the wing trailing edge, which had a broad cut-out in it to improve his upward and forward field of view.

[5] At the rear the triangular fin, built of plywood, was an integral part of the fuselage and carried a generous, deep, rounded rudder.

The angle of incidence of its triangular plan tailplane could be adjusted on the ground and split elevators had a small, central gap to allow rudder movement.

It had a simple, tailskid undercarriage with its mainwheels on a single axle, each end elastically sprung from a V-strut mounted on the lower longeron.
