Piel CP-20 Pinocchio
The Piel CP-20 Pinocchio is a single engine French sport monoplane first flown in 1951. Only two were built but one was still flying over sixty years later.
==Design and development==
Despite sharing the name Pinocchio, the CP-20 was a completely new and different design from Claude Piel's first aircraft, the CP-10 Pinocchio. The newer machine is a conventional low wing cantilever monoplane whereas the CP-10 was a Pou-du-Ciel style tandem wing design;〔〔 it did inherit the CP-10's rudder, wheels and firewall. The centre section of the Pinocchio's wing is rectangular in plan and the outer panels semi-elliptical. It has broad-chord ailerons but no flaps.〔
Behind the engine the fuselage is almost flat sided and bottomed but with raised, rounded decking behind the single seat cockpit and canopy. The empennage is conventional, with tapered horizontal surfaces mounted near the top of the fuselage and a curved fin carrying a broad, balanced rudder. The rudder extends down to the keel, so the elevators are cut away to allow its movement. The Pinocchio has a wide track tail wheel/skid undercarriage with main wheels on vertical, cantilever legs from the wings.〔
Only two Pinocchios were built. The first had a converted Volkswagen litre engine. The second, built by Pierre Bordini, was originally designated the CP-210 and was powered by a Salmson 9 AD engine. In July 1961 it became the CP-211, with the same Salmson engine but with a new, one-piece sliding canopy and more raked screen, faired landing legs and a tail wheel rather than a skid, greater fuel capacity and a cropped vertical tail. Its time as the CP-211 was brief, for at the end of 1961 it became the CP-212, fitted with a Continental A-65 air-cooled flat-four engine.〔〔〔
