Gabardini Lictor

The Gabardini Lictor was a light aircraft developed in Italy in the mid-1930s. It was a low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a fully enclosed cabin. Two versions were built, the Lictor 90 with a 90-hp Fiat engine, and that Lictor 130 with a 130-hp de Havilland Gipsy Major engine built by Alfa Romeo. Development was abandoned at the same time as the firm was absorbed by Fiat in early 1936.
