[4] The Skylane is a high-wing monoplane with a fixed nose-wheel landing gear and powered by a Rotax 912 piston engine.

The fuselage is of composite construction, while the strut-braced wing is of wooden structure with a semi-laminar MS (1)-313 airfoil and features a D-cell.

The wooden structure, fabric-covered and electrically operated flaps cover 39% of the wing chord and can be lowered to fixed positions of 13°, 29° and 37°.

The main landing gear legs are made from fibreglass laminates and mount wheels with hydraulically operated toe-brakes.

The nose wheel is of a fully castering design and can rotate 360°, allowing the aircraft to be pushed backwards while ground handling.
