[1][2] The Bagaliante is constructed from wood and metal and is of pod-and-boom layout.
The wing uses a semi-tapered planform, tapering outboard of the mid-span point.
The specified engine is a 19 kW (25 hp) Rotax 277 two-stroke aircraft engine, mounted aft of the cockpit and driving a pusher propeller mounted above the tail boom.
The fixed mainwheels are located beside the fuselage on small sponsons.
[1][3] Even with the small Rotax 277 fitted, the takeoff and landing distance is 46 m (150.9 ft)[1] The estimated time to build the aircraft from the plans is 700 hours.
