The CP-10 Pinocchio was the first of Claude Piel's long line of light aircraft designs.
Built by Piel and Roger Holleville, the CP-10 was a Pou du Ciel style, single seat tandem-wing aircraft, powered by a 19 kW (25 hp) Mengin B flat-twin engine mounted in the nose with its cylinder heads exposed for cooling and driving a two bladed propeller.
The angle of incidence was controlled from the open cockpit by long rods from the lower fuselage to the wing underside near the trailing edge.
The shorter span rear wing was mounted on top of the fuselage immediately behind the cockpit.
