It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed or retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum. Its 8.6 m (28.2 ft) span wing has an area of 10.6 m2 (114 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant, although it can accommodate engines of up to 200 hp (149 kW).[1]
