[edit] History
In October 1940 Repülögpégyàr flew a prototype of a parasol-wing, two-seat primary trainer. This aircraft had been designated Levente I. A slightly modified military version, named the Levente II was later supplied to the Hungarian Air Force by 1943. 100 Levente IIs were built as trainers, but as it was war, they also served in the communications/liaison roles until the end of the war.
