It features a 12 m (39 ft) span parachute-style wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F-30 engine in pusher configuration.
In flight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.
The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension.
