Design

Based on the Adam RA-14 Loisirs, it is a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage. The fuselage is wood construction with fabric covering with a folding wing. [3] The pilot and single passenger sit side-by-side in a fully enclosed cabin. One example has been built as a floatplane with fiberglass covered wooden floats using Falconar plans. [4] [5] The airfoil employed is a NACA 23012. [6]

Acceptable installed engine power ranges from 85 to 150 hp (63 to 112 kW). [7]
