Hi,

The Muniz Casmuniz 52 was a twin-engine light transport aircraft designed by
Antonio Muniz in Brazil. It was the first all-metal aircraft built in Brazil, only the
prototype was built.
 
Hi,

all I have,the M-1 & M-2 was Projects for light aircraft,no more details.
 
A bit more ...

Muniz M-1, M-2, and M-5 were designed in France and date to 1927. One sources describes the M-1, M-2, M-3, and M-4 as "croquis" (sketches) but gives no other details.

The sole M-5 low-winged monoplane was built in Paris by Caudron (?? between 1928 and 1931 ??). The wooden M-5 was then dismantled and shipped to Rio de Janeiro where it was presented on 10 July 1931 at Campo dos Afonsos (now SBAF). The M-5 flew in Brazil until damaged in an accident in 1934.

Span: 12 m, Length: 7.10 m, Max Speed: 205 km/h Max Cruise: 175 km/h, Endurance: 4.5 hours
Powerplant: 1 x 100 hp Hispano Suiza (?? HS 6O ??), Weight: 900 kg

Thanks LAW: So sources saying that the Muniz M-11 led to (or was the same as) the CNNA HL-1 are completely in error .

Here is a hint for M-1,M-3 & M-10.
The story about the M-5 translated:

Machado Vieira obtained the necessary funds from the Brazilian government. Muniz started to supervise, at Caudron, the assembly of the M-5, the first of his projects that was actually built. After some tests in France, the M-5 plane was demonstrated and sent by ship to Brazil
