[1] A copy of the popular Phantom X1, the Mosquito was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg).
It features a strut-braced or optionally cable-braced high-wing, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
[1] The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the flying surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth.
Its 29 ft (8.8 m) span wing was available in a strut-braced or cable-braced configuration, the cable bracing giving better negative g performance.
The aircraft is rated for load limits of +10/-6 g. The pilot is accommodated on a seat within a semi-enclosed fiberglass pod that includes a windshield.
