The Menestrel 11 was designed by Henri Nicollier and is a two seat development of the single seat HN.433 Menestrel. Other types designed by Henri Nicollier are the HN.500 Bengali (1+ built) two seat light aircraft first flown in 1988 powered by a 100hp(75kW) Continental, and the HN.600 Week-End single seat light aircraft powered by a 50hp (37kW) VW. Plans for these aircraft are available from Avions H. Nicollier.
