The prototype aircraft was built in Stanton, Texas and intended to be certified with a Lycoming O-320 engine. Even though the aircraft was based on a homebuilt design, it was intended to be eventually certified.[1]
The aircraft has a unique feature, a small 6" long airfoil under the V-tail used as a "flying trim tab".
The prototype was displayed at both the EAA Convention and the Kerrville, Texas fly-in in 1981.[2]
