The Parrot was discontinued in May 2008, after three were completed and the design developed into the PS-10 Tourer.
The Parrot was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The Parrot is made from aluminum sheet. Its forward-swept 11.41NaN1 span wing has an area of 9.5m2. The forward sweep allows the cabin to be forward of the wing, providing pilot visibility in turns. Standard engines available were the 1000NaN0 Rotax 912ULS and the 1200NaN0 Jabiru 3300 four-stroke powerplants.
The Parrot was first flown on 15 June 2005 and the prototype was immediately shipped to the United States to be displayed at AirVenture 2005. The design was added to the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft in January 2006. By May 2008 three Parrots had been completed and the aircraft was discontinued.[4]
The design was included in the intellectual property transferred from CZAW to CSA in 2009 and then redesigned with components from the PS-28 Cruiser and designated as the PS-10 Tourer. The PS-10 Tourer first flew on 6 December 2010 and was first publicly shown at the Aero show in Friedrichshafen in 2011. By December 2012 the PS-10 was not yet advertised for sale by CSA.
