The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, riveted together using gussets. Its top wing features full-span ailerons. The wings and tail are covered with aircraft fabric that is glued into place, heat shrunk and then finished with latex house paint, with two coats of paint on bottom surfaces and three on top to provide extra UV protection. The conventional landing gear includes a steerable tailwheel. [1]
