ALTERNATE HISTORY:: Developed as the SAUN's first functional flying wing - the "Kite" proved to be a formidible South American predecessor of the Gotha 229 with its powerful engines, high stability, and massive firepower, the Pipa was used as a interceptor aircraft along the Mexican border and was sent in small quantities to Cuba to protect against possible attacks from florida. Although not as fast as most of the SAUN's aircraft, the Pipa was still used due to its agility.
