The aircraft was introduced in about 2002 and production ended when the company went out of business in 2007.[3]
The Twin was designed by a former Buckeye Industries employee to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category and the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as an ultralight trainer. It features a 45m2 parachute-style wing, two-seats-in-tandem accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 640NaN0 Rotax 582 engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft carriage is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and 4130 steel tubing. In flight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring suspension. The acceptable power range is 50to[1] [2]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 1570NaN0 and a gross weight of 3850NaN0, giving a useful load of 2280NaN0. With full fuel of the payload for crew and baggage is 2000NaN0.[1]
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a 640NaN0 engine is 3500NaN0 and the landing roll is 1000NaN0.[2]
In 2005 the company reported 60 examples had been completed and flown.[2] In July 2015, 15 examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[4]
In 2004 Jean Pierre la Camus reviewed the design in the World Directory of Leisure Aviation and described the Twin as "soundly engineered".[1]
