Design and development

The Light was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 14.5 hp (11 kW) Radne Raket 120 engine in pusher configuration with a 3.3:1 ratio reduction drive and a 110 cm (43 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller. The fuel tank capacity is 8.5 litres (1.9 imp gal; 2.2 US gal). [1]

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. [1]
