It features a cantilever [low-wing](/source/low-wing), a two-seats-in-[side-by-side configuration](/source/side-by-side_configuration) enclosed cockpit, fixed [tricycle landing gear](/source/tricycle_landing_gear) and a single engine in [tractor configuration](/source/tractor_configuration). The aircraft is made from [6061-T6 aluminum](/source/6061-T6_aluminum) sheet, with its cockpit strengthened with steel roll-over protection. Its {{convert|8.4|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing has an area of {{convert|11.6|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and electrically actuated [flaps](/source/Flap_(aircraft)). Standard engines available are the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [Rotax 912ULS](/source/Rotax_912ULS), {{convert|85|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [Jabiru 2200](/source/Jabiru_2200) and the {{convert|120|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [Jabiru 3300](/source/Jabiru_3300) [four-stroke](/source/four-stroke) powerplants.
