Hi,

in 1959,who know more about it or has a drawing for it ?.

Hi Hesham,
are you sure it was a light aircraft and not the glider Rotondi R-2 Tobia? It was designed and built in 1958-1962.
I think that designing TWO aircraft projects in the same period was too demanding for a technical institute (although an Italian one B))

BTW, the same Institute is now trying to restore the Tobia:

Were there other designs by ing. Gianfranco Rotondi besides the 1952-1957 R1 'Gheppio' ('Kestrel') single-seat sailplane?

For the record, R1 'Gheppio' (I-AVMG) first flight was April 1957. It was similar to the later R2 'Tobia' ('Tobit') but somewhat smaller (span 10.00 m vs 13.60 m; length o/a 5.50 m vs 6.60 m).

Details and 3-view drawings of both R1 'Gheppio' and R2 'Tobia' (I-FEGI):
