[1][2][3] The Pouchelec is a development of the APEV Pouchel Light, adapted for electric power, including revised landing gear and longer span wings with greater surface area.

Later models were forced to move to rectangular aluminium tubing when the ladder manufacturer grew concerned about liability.

The Pouchel series are all derivatives of the classic 1930s Henri Mignet-designed Mignet Pou-du-Ciel (Flying Flea).

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth.

The engine supplied is a 15 kW (20 hp) AGNI 119R electric motor powered by a Kokam Lithium-ion polymer battery pack, which gives a 30-minute flight endurance.
