Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules as a joint venture with SK Model. It features a strut-braced high-wing a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The Stylus' fuselage is made from welded steel tubing while the wing structure is aluminum. The fuselage and flying surfaces are covered in a mix of preformed plastic and doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.5 m (31.2 ft) span wing employs a dual spar design with V-struts and jury struts. The standard engine is the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]

gollark: I think this is a reasonable way to do copyright in general; some (much shorter than now!) length where you get exclusivity, which can be extended somewhat if you give the copyright office the source to release at the end of this perioid.
gollark: This isn't really "repair"y, inasmuch as you can't fix it if it breaks unless you happen to be really good at reverse engineering.
gollark: Maybe what you mean is banning DRM-ish things, so you can definitely copy the program and run it elsewhere and such?
gollark: Well, you can't actually run the program if you don't have... the program, DRM or no.
gollark: A lot of things now do the fourth.
