Designed as a larger four-seat version of the Rebel, the Super Rebel is an all-metal high-wing braced monoplane with two rows of side-by-side seats for four. [2] The prototype first flew in November 1995 and was powered by a 250 hp (190 kW) Lycoming O-540-4A5 driving a two-bladed constant-speed propeller. [2] The prototype had a tricycle landing gear but the standard model (SR2500TD) has a tailwheel landing gear.
