Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the wing made from aluminum tubing, all covered in heat-shrunk Dacron aircraft fabric. Its 8.5 m (27.9 ft) span wing has an area of 13.5 m2 (145 sq ft) and is supported by V-struts with jury struts. The standard engine available is the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke, which gives a cruising speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), with the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant optional, which gives a cruising speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).[1][2][3]
