History & design
An Emeraude with many builders
The CP301 developed from Claude Piel's CP30, with the prototype flying in 1956 according to Restauravia's manual. Wood-and-fabric construction and a low wing gave it a different character from the high-wing touring trainers commonly found at flying clubs.
The package's livery research documents examples built by Menavia, Scintex, Binder and amateur builders. That variety matters: the developer photographed and flew the 1960 Scintex CP301 C registered F-BJVN as its modelling reference. Other authentic paint schemes do not make every represented aircraft structurally identical.

Systems & details
Trim and aerobatic scope
The central console groups throttle, flap lever and elevator-trim handle. The manual describes semi-aerobatic use, including intentional spins, but excludes inverted flight and specifies left-seat solo operation. These are the documented limits of the represented CP301; they do not establish the limits of every homebuilt Emeraude.
