The aircraft is made from composites. Its 9.2 m (30.2 ft) span wing has an area of 10.5 m² (113 sq ft) and mounts split-style flaps. Standard engines available are the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke, the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL, the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS and the 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200 four-stroke powerplants.^[1]
