The Piel CP.90 Pinocchio II was a single-seat, single-engine aerobatic sport aircraft developed in France and marketed for homebuilding.[1] The design was based on that of Piel's Emeraude[2] and was unrelated to Piel's first design named Pinocchio, the CP.10 and indirectly to the second, the CP.20. It was a cantilever, low-wing monoplane of conventional design with an enclosed cockpit and fixed, tailwheel undercarriage.[2] Construction was of wood throughout.[2][3]

Although Piel commenced work on the design in 1965,[4] the first example did not fly until 1986.[3]
