Alas, no.

BTW, Hesham's "Turbay T-3B.jpg" 3-view drawing above is actually the T-3A.

Dear Apophenia ;D
Thank you for the detailed list (especially the T-3). I always assumed the T-3 was a twin engined aircraft irrespective of the Jacobs radials (T-3), Lycoming O-360 (T-3A) or 250 hp (T-3B, I assume Lycoming O-540s?).
Somewhat strangely the arancuan.com site refers to the initial T-3 as a monomotor with Jacobs radial. Is this a "mistake"
Best regards and keep up all the good work!!
Walter
PS: Was the T-11 not to be produced as the Alaire AL-1 Cacique ?

Yes Walter.

Walter: The mistake was likely mine. I've change the Jacobs ref to a question mark -- my files having been lost one hard drive back
