I'm really impressed with this design. It carries a payload equal to
its own weight. How many aircraft can do that?

I know the D140 named Abeille (bee) or Mousquetaire
it's a big D112 with O360
550kg empty 1210lbs
1100kg full 2420lbs
another french desing (Delemontez)

Better, you have from Michel Colomban too, the MC100, all aluminium alloy
empty: 202 kg 445lbs
full: 450kg 990lbs
The carbon version is 240kg empty

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or almost any quicksilver type with a single surface wing,

I've seen them carry almost twice the empty weight,,,,,,,,,
