In the USA the Renegade is not on the list of Special light-sport aircraft, but is eligible for the Experimental - Amateur-built category.

Darryl Murphy is a mechanical engineering technologist who designed and built a rigid wing hang glider in 1978 as a school project while attending the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

During his recovery time he decided to design a biplane to fit into the then-new Canadian ultralight category.

Sales improved greatly once the aviation press began reviewing the aircraft.

Murphy displayed the Renegade at the EAA Convention, Oshkosh and returned to Chilliwack with a substantial order book.

[14][15][16][17] The Renegade fuselage is constructed of aluminium square tubing extrusions and fittings, fastened with Avex rivets.

The fin, rudder, horizontal stabilizer and elevators are built from aluminum tubing and channel sections.
