Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with Canadian basic ultralight rules. It features a parachute-style high wing made from rip-stop nylon, two seats in tandem accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine in pusher configuration. [1]

The aircraft is built from bolted-together aluminium tubing. Inflight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates shock absorber-type suspension. The standard canopy supplied was the Quantum Advantage High Performance of 500 sq ft (46 m2) area. This canopy provides a cruise speed of 30 to 35 mph (48 to 56 km/h) and a payload of 510 lb (230 kg). A larger canopy of 550 sq ft (51 m2) that provides a slower cruise speed of 25 to 30 mph (40 to 48 km/h), a slower stall speed, a higher rate of climb and a payload of 610 lb (280 kg) was also available. [1]

Factory optional equipment included a windshield, snow skis for winter operations, electric starting, a canopy-monitoring mirror and an agricultural aircraft kit. [1]
