The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules.

The Escapade Two fuselage is made from powder coated welded steel tubing, with its wing made with an aluminium spar and spruce ribs. The aircraft is covered with Oratex aircraft fabric. Its 8.76 m (28.7 ft) span wing has an area of 10.11 m2 (108.8 sq ft) and can be folded for ground transportation on a trailer or for storage in two minutes. The standard engine available is the 95 hp (71 kW) ULPower UL260i four-stroke powerplant. The landing gear can be changed from nose wheel to tail wheel configuration in about two hours.[1]

The Escapade Two is certified to United Kingdom BCAR Section "S" and German microlight standards.[1]
