Design and development

The aircraft was intended as an update to the 1948 Mráz M-2 Skaut (English: Scout) design. The original M-2 was made from wood and so the two aircraft resemble each other only superficially. The new M-2 was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. The cockpit is 120 cm (47 in) wide. [1] [2]

The aircraft is made from riveted and bonded aluminum sheet and is completely corrosion-treated after assembly. Its 9.6 m (31.5 ft) span wing has an area of 12.4 m2 (133 sq ft) and flaps. The standard engine available is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. [1] [2]
