Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The Viper has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. [1]

The aircraft is made from welded tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.5 m (34.4 ft) span Skyrider Hazard 12 wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The standard powerplant is a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine, with the twin cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 engine optional. The Viper has an empty weight of 126 kg (278 lb) and a gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), giving a useful load of 324 kg (714 lb). With full fuel of 65 litres (14 imp gal; 17 US gal) the payload is 277 kg (611 lb). [1]

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the Skyrider Hazard 12 and Hazard 15. A 70 litres (15 imp gal; 18 US gal) fuel tank is optional. [1]

A basic version of the aircraft, powered by the 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 engine and without fairings is also offered. [1]
