The design was the company's first microlight and led to further work in that field.[2]
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and amateur-built 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 fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, the wing built from wood with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 12.6 m2 (136 sq ft) and uses 45° Dornier wingtips. Standard engines are the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The ultralight version has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), whereas the amateur-built version has a maximum gross weight of 520 kg (1,146 lb).[1][2]
