Airframe and layout
Carbon and carbon-Kevlar composite fuselage with integrated seats. The wing is single-spar with a carbon-foam sandwich skin, and the tail is built the same way. Wingspan is 8.44 m, length 6.2 m, wing area 9.8 m2. Tricycle gear with a steerable nosewheel. Flaps are linked to the gear, so extending flaps with the gear up sounds a warning horn.
Gear hydraulics: what to check
The gear is hydraulic, with a maximum operating speed of 150 km/h. An extension cycle runs 30 s, then a red HPU light flashes and a Reset press restarts it. If three green lights do not show, a hand pump (min. 50 cycles) extends the gear. After any such event the manual says to inspect the gear system for the cause.
Fuel and engine care
Two wing tanks of 59 L each (15.6 US gal each). Approved fuels include unleaded RON 95 and EN 228 Super mogas. AVGAS 100 LL is for use only when nothing else is available, because it increases valve seat wear and deposits. Do not use fuel with more than 10% ethanol or 5% toluene. Run oil above 100 °C for at least 10 min each flight day.

Safety notes
- The manual states the Rotax 912ULS was not certified as an aircraft engine and may fail at any time. The pilot is fully responsible for the consequences.
- Aerobatics, intentional spins, stalls with power and side slips are prohibited. VFR flight only.
- The placard says the product is not subject to Czech CAA approval and is operated at the user's own risk.
