The SECAT RG-60 was a prototype light sporting biplane built in France shortly after World War II.[1][2] It was a conventional single-seat design with an open cockpit.[1][2][3][4] The lower wing had a smaller span and chord than the upper wing and was braced against the upper wing[4] and against the fuselage sides with I-struts but no wires.[1] The undercarriage consisted of two fixed, divided main units plus a fixed tailskid.[1] Power was supplied by a tractor-mounted piston engine that drove a two-bladed propeller.[1][4] Construction was of wood throughout.[4]
