Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. Like the aircraft it replicates, it features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a framed canopy, retractable conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The aircraft is predominantly made from aluminum sheet. Its 8.13 m (26.7 ft) span wing has an area of 17.5 m2 (188 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine intended is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, although consideration is being given to using a 180 hp (134 kW) four-stroke powerplant as well. [1]

The plan is to produce the Me 109 Replica under sub-contract in the Czech Republic. [1]
