The engine (DG1000T) is mounted on a pylon aft of the double cockpit.

There is a reduction gear (2.3:1.0) between the engine and the two-blade carbon-fibre composite propeller.

It will serve as a basic soaring trainer for cadets at the United States Air Force Academy.

It also serves as the primary competition platform for the USAF Academy Aerobatic Demonstration Team.
