Design and development

The aircraft was designed in the 2000s as a paramotor with greater power to lift heavier pilots and for two-place flying. It features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place or two-place-in-tandem accommodation and a single 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F-33 engine in pusher configuration. As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot.[1][2]

Variants

In production in 2012, this model has "comfort bar" flexible push rods that counteract engine torque.[1][2]
