The Sportavia-Pützer RS-180 Sportsman is a four-seat sport aircraft that was produced in Germany in the late 1970s.

[3] The aircraft is a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage.

It was redesignated the RS-180 Sportsman when the empennage was altered in early 1978, following the fatal crash of the prototype in May 1977.

[5] The extensive redesign included reshaping the horizontal tail and moving it part-way up the fin,[5] changing the wing profile,[5] and removing the RF-6C's turned-down wingtips.

[6] The wood structure of the low-wing cantilever monoplane Sportsman is skinned in fibreglass.
