Now out of production, when the series were available the aircraft were supplied complete and ready-to-fly.

It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration with a reduction drive. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal).
