[1][2] Power was transmitted to the 2-bladed tractor propeller by a chainless drive system sourced from a Belgian racing bicycle.

Prior to the aircraft being tested, in late 1930 the brothers exhibited it inside a tent, charging an entry fee for people to view the craft.

The aircraft was towed behind an automobile, lifting off at 40 km, but then lost control and crashed into a grove of spruce trees.

With Jan Fokker again at the controls, the aircraft took off by rolling down from an elevated starting point, and landed on an adjacent beach, whereupon it became stuck in the silt.

Further testing of the aircraft was due to take place in the Summer of 1931, but it was discovered vandals had sawn through the metal framework.
