In February 1932, ASJA got an order of 25 aircraft. The Air Force designation became Sk 10 and the individual aircraft got the Air Force numbers 521-545. The design was partly changed compared to the German Tigerschwalbe. The most important alteration was of course that the aircraft was changed to a two-seater with dual command. The original Tigerschwalbe was fitted with an 175 hp Armstrong Siddeley Lynx engine. The Swedish variant got an 260 hp Walter Castor 1A.
