Design and development The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR Part 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as the German 120 kg class (called the Solo 120) and deregulated 115 kg class in the United Kingdom. It features a strut-braced high wing, a single-seat open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is built with a composite fuselage and an aluminum wing. Its span wing has flaperons and employs a single strut on each side supported by an optional jury strut. The standard engines used when the type was introduced were the Hirth F33 and the Hirth F23 two-stroke powerplants.
The design offers combinations of three types of wings, three types of engines and four types of wheels.
