As of March 2017 the design is no longer advertised as available by the company.[2]
The R180 was designed for competition aerobatics and also as a military trainer. It features a cantilever low-wing, low-mounted tailplane, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration. A tricycle landing gear version was also designed.[1]
The aircraft is made from wood and carbon fibre. Its 8.72 m (28.6 ft) span wing has an area of 8.31 m2 (89.4 sq ft), mounts full-span ailerons and lacks flaps and winglets. The standard engine specified is the 180 hp (134 kW) Lycoming O-360 four-stroke aircraft engine.[1]
Reviewers Roy Beisswenger and Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as having better control harmony than the Mudry CAP 10.[1]
