[1][2] In Canada the SS-11 is a Transport Canada-accepted Advanced Ultra-Light Aeroplane[3] Developed from the Spectrum Beaver RX650, the SS-11 Skywatch features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit accessed through upwards opening doors supported by folding struts, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, a small auxiliary tail wheel and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The most obvious change was the move from Dacron envelopes for the wings to doped aircraft fabric covering.

The wing is built with an aluminum structure, with an I-beam spar and stamped ribs.

[1][2] The nose wheel is steerable, dual controls were factory standard, while the vertically-hinged cockpit doors were an option.

With full fuel of 13 U.S. gallons (49 L; 11 imp gal) the payload for the pilot, passenger and baggage is 452 lb (205 kg).
