Cybair Limited Publishing, 2001. {{ISBN|0-9680628-1-4}}</ref>

==Design and development== The aircraft was designed to comply with the US [[FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles]] rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of {{convert|254|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. It features a [[parachute]]-style [[high-wing]], single-place accommodation, [[tricycle landing gear]] and a single {{convert|52|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 503]] engine in [[pusher configuration]]. The {{convert|64|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 582]] engine was a factory option.<ref name="Cliche" />

The aircraft is built from a combination of [[aluminium]] and [[4130 steel]] tubing. In flight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The aircraft was factory supplied in the form of an assembly kit that requires 40 hours to complete.<ref name="Cliche" />
