Design and development

The aircraft features a carriage built on a welded stainless steel frame, with a fiberglass composite streamlined fairing, dual-controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. The rotor is of aluminum alloy and includes a pneumatic pre-rotator.[1][2]

The powerplant options include the four cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engine, or the 115 hp (86 kW) turbo-charged Rotax 914 engine.[1][2]

Originally an open-cockpit design with dual windshields, in 2013 a bubble canopy was introduced as an option. It weighs 20 kg (44 lb) and can be installed in five minutes.[1]

gollark: Also, if you burn down your house you lose the things inside. If you are sensible, you have backups of your computer's contents and so will not.
gollark: Someone breaking in wouldn't then contaminate my house with hard-to-detect burglars which could cause problems later, and reinstalling is waaaay easier than unburning houses.
gollark: You can probably kill the programs or reboot in safe mode, but this sort of behaviour is more "malware" than just "programs you don't want", so reinstalling is probably better. At least run an antivirus or something. It might help. Maybe.
gollark: Well, you could try randomly deleting the files the programs own.
