The aircraft fuselage is made from welded 4130 steel tubing, with the wing constructed from aluminum sheet, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its {{convert|30.5|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} span wing has an area of {{convert|160|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} and has no flaps. The wing is supported by "V"-struts and jury struts. The aircraft's recommended engine power range is {{convert|65|to|110|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and standard engines used include the {{convert|110|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Chevrolet Corvair automotive conversion four-stroke powerplant. Construction time from the supplied kit is 400 hours.^[1]

Operational history

By December 2016 two examples had been registered with Transport Canada as Light Stars.^[2]

As of December 2016, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.^[3]
