The engine was mounted in the rear of the fuselage pod, in pusher configuration, with the wooden two bladed 42 in (107 cm) propeller below the metal tail boom.

The fuel tank holds 3 U.S. gallons (11 L; 2.5 imp gal), enough for self-launching, but not for cross-country powered flight.

[1][2][3] The Dragonfly shares the Baby Albatross's molded plywood fuselage pod, aluminium tube tail boom and strut-braced double spar wooden wing, covered in aircraft fabric aft of the spar.

The aircraft features dual controls and a retractable tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel.

The 25 hp (19 kW) engine gave the Dragonfly a sea level climb rate of just 235 fpm (1.19 m/s) and a take-off run of 900 ft (274 m).
