A C.R.D.A. Cant.Z.506A (I-POLA, from the first construction batch of this entirely wooden construction seaplane), was converted into a landplane by mounting a fixed landing gear, in order to try breaking a distance record taking off from Cagliari-Elmas airport. The attempt was first delayed due to bad weather conditions, and later even cancelled. So it was eventually converted back to its original seaplane configuration. This plane, powered by three American made Wright Cyclone, made its first flight in August 1936 and was transferred to Cagliari-Elmas airport during September 1936. Original aircraft, features the usual moving parts, such as all flight controls, props pitch and navlights. Requires the previous installation of the C.R.D.A. Cant.Z.506A/C (V.01) package (506_ac01.zip) and the 2D panel enhancement (506c_pnl.ZIP). Created by Manuele Villa, December 2007. Installation instructions included.
