The aircraft was designed to comply with the LTF-L 120 kg, US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and English SSDR categories. It features a cantilever low-wing, twin-booms, a single seat enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. [1] The Song has been produced in both a twin–tail and inverted V-tail layout. In most configurations, the Song includes a Galaxy GRS 3/270 ballistic parachute rescue system. [2]

The Song is made from composites. Its polyhedral wing comes in two optional spans: 7.5 m (24.6 ft) (with flaperons) and 11.2 m (36.7 ft) (with ailerons and either spoilers or flaps). [3] Standard engines available are the 20.5 hp (15 kW) Bailey V5 four-stroke and the 35 hp (26 kW) Verner JCV 360 four-stroke powerplant. [2] [4] [5] [6]
