History & design
A Belgian trainer refined for aerobatics
Stampe and Vertongen began building trainers because the available aircraft did not meet their needs. The company’s museum traces the design office from Alfred Renard through George Ivanow to Demidoff, who refined the SV-4. The development of its aerobatic character also involved pilot Elza Leysen, whose requirements helped shape the aircraft.

A post-war life beyond Belgium
War and the destruction of the Antwerp facilities interrupted aircraft construction. The SV-4 returned through post-war licensed production in France, helping explain why the name Stampe became familiar far beyond its Belgian birthplace. The museum distinguishes that licensed production from the aircraft’s original design and development.

Systems & details
Wood, fabric and an inverted engine
Restauravia describes the Stampe as a fabric-covered wooden biplane developed for training and introductory aerobatics. Its MSFS model is chiefly based on the French Air Force SV4C, with a Renault 4P05 inverted four-cylinder engine, fixed-pitch wooden propeller and compressed-air starting equipment. The manual also acknowledges Gipsy-powered versions. This distinction is useful when comparing cockpit layouts and engine controls across the broader Stampe family.
