Это совем маленький самолетик.
TYPE: Single-seat self-launching sailplane.
WINGS: Shoulder-wing monoplane, with single aluminum tube bracing strut on each side. Wing section Wortmann FX-61-184. Dihedral 1° 30' from roots. Incidence 3°. No sweepback. Sparless stressed-skin structure with urethane foam core, molded glass fiber leading-edges and wingtips, and epoxy-bonded pre-cured glass fiber skin. 'Spoilerons' (for both roll and glide path control) at 30% chord on each upper surface. No flaps or tabs.
FUSELAGE: Pod-and-boom structure, the forward portion comprising two pre-formed glass fiber half-shells pop-riveted to a framework of pre-formed tubular aluminum longerons. Tail boom is a thin-wall 6061-T6 aluminum tube with a molded glass fiber tail cone. Combined pitot tube/lifting handle in nose.
TAIL UNIT: Cantilever inverted V-tail-plane and elevators, of Wortmann FX-71-L-150/30 section, suspended from rear of tail boom. Tail surfaces have urethane foam core and epoxy/glass fiber skin.
LANDING GEAR: Manually-retractable urethane wheel/tire, with external friction-pad brake, forward of CG. Wheel/tire size 10.5 x 3.5 x 5 in (26.67 x 8.89 x 12.7 cm), pressure 0.83 bars (12 lb/sq.in, 0.85 kg/sq.cm). Tail wheel under tip of each half-tail plane.
POWER PLANT: One 12.2 hp at 8,000 rpm McCulloch 101B single-cylinder two-stroke engine, installed aft of cockpit and driving a two-blade fixed-pitch pusher propeller with folding plastics blades. Recoil starting. Engine is for takeoff and self-recovery only, and not for cross-country continuous operation. Fuel tank capacity 0.5 gal (2 l). Normal fuel load of approx 4 lb (1.81 kg) (consumption at max power is 12 lb/hr, 5.5 kg/hr) is sufficient for one takeoff and climb to 2,000 ft (610 m) and three airborne restarts and climbs from 500 ft (150 m) to 2,000 ft (610 m).
ACCOMMODATION: Single canvas sling seat under one-piece flush-fitting canopy of vacuum-formed butyrate.
