Evidently not so easy, Uli! Oddly, it looks like a radial engined version of the Wicko Windsor - which, as the Windsor was never built, it isn't!
 
Hi pomme homme:encouragement:
My guess: The Rafale by Pierre Calvel.?
But......the only photos I have seen sofar, depict her with a T-tail, so doubt is seeping in.
 
Sorry, Walter, that doesn't tie in with any of the information that I have on this little bird - other than the constructor's forename. If she survives today, she'll be celebrating the the big three zero. And what gave her 'omph' was a Turboméca Palas.
 
Hi pomme homme:encouragement:
You clou on the Palas engkine helped me!. The Cavasillas CJJ-01 (CJ200?) F-WCZD
Please see attached photo of the Calvel Rafale, reason for my doubt/hesitation/uncertainty. I never found info that the Rafale was actually flown or that a registration was issued.

Well done, Walter. It is the Cavassilas CCJ.01 F-WCZD of c.1989. And I can see the visual similaraities between it and the Calvel Rafale. Over to you, sir.
 
The aircraft uses the basic wings of another (original) design by the same designers/group and has a fairly new turbine engine developed from one of my earlier ones.
