[1] The Motorfloater is intended as a simple, light and inexpensive aircraft with an emphasis on ease of handling and enjoyment, rather than speed.

It was derived from the more complex Flylight Dragonfly and designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category as well as the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules.

It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat open cockpit without a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear without wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.

[1] The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth.

Its standard 9.60 m (31.5 ft) span Aeros Fox 16T wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.
