Design and development

The aircraft is a licensed development of the Italian Euro Ala JetFox and was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and also the US light-sport aircraft 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. The company claims it was accepted as a US LSA in 2008 but it did not appear on the official Federal Aviation Administration 2016 list of S-LSAs. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.78 m (32.1 ft) span wing employs V-struts and jury struts. Standard engines available are the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The engine is mounted on the main keel tube that runs from the tail to the engine, mounting the engine above the cockpit. [1] [2]
