Design and development

The aircraft features a cantilever mid-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, which Lasher chose for its superior crash survivability. Its mid-mounted wing has a wooden structure covered in doped aircraft fabric and spans 16 ft (4.9 m). As the Formula V class demands, the aircraft is powered by 35 to 65 hp (26 to 48 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine, which gives it a top level speed of 150 mph (241 km/h) and a cruise speed of 125 mph (201 km/h). [1]

The aircraft has an empty weight of 400 lb (180 kg) and a gross weight of 700 lb (320 kg), giving a useful load of 300 lb (140 kg). With full fuel of 10 U.S. gallons (38 L; 8.3 imp gal) the payload is 240 lb (110 kg). [1]
