Design and development

The aircraft was developed from the heavier Falconar AMF-S14 Super Maranda. The AMF-14H features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit that is 460NaN0 wide, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The AMF-14H structure is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered with doped aircraft fabric. Its 321NaN1 span wing has an area of 158square feet and is supported by "V" struts and jury struts. The aircraft's recommended engine power range is 65to and standard engines used include the 1000NaN0 Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. Construction time from the supplied kit is 1100 hours.
