 The Pouchel Classic is derived from the APEV Pouchel, which is itself a derivative of the classic 1930s Henri Mignet-designed Mignet Pou-du-Ciel (Flying Flea).The design features a cantilever rear wing and a strut-braced front parasol wing, a single-seat open cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.The Pouchel Classic differs from the earlier Pouchel in that it has a newly designed wooden fuselage to replace the aluminum ladder and rectangular tube design of the Pouchel and the Pouchel II.
