The craft is a high wing taildragger with a tractor engine. Seating is tandem with dual controls. While the craft was designed to handle both the 503 and 582 Rotax.

My choice would be the 582 65 HP. The kit comes complete with full size plans for the fuselage and tail sections. Sub assembly kits are also available.

The craft can also be built from a set of plans. Building time from kit form is 450 to 600 hours while plane built times are 12 to 1600 hours.

A T.U.F. VIEW
I first saw this craft in 1993 at Lakeland at that time it used a metal fuselage. Since then the designer has changed to an all wood design.

The cabin is a comfortable , with plenty of head room. Controls are stick and rudder.

When powered by the 582 Rotax cruise is 75/80 m.p.h., climb 850 feet per minute and stall just over 35 m.p.h.. The manufacturer indicates that the designs structural limits are +4.5 and -3G's.
