Based upon the Avid Flyer, which it greatly resembles, the Mohawk features a strut-braced high wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit accessed via doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from metal tubing, with its flying surfaces and fuselage covered doped aircraft fabric. Its 301NaN1 span wing features Junkers flaperons, has a wing area of 124.5square feet and is supported by "V" struts with jury struts. The plans specify standard hydraulic brakes, a steerable tailwheel and wings that fold for ground transport or storage. The standard engine used is the 500NaN0 Rotax 503 two-stroke powerplant, which gives a standard day, sea level takeoff distance of 1000NaN0 and a landing roll of 1500NaN0.
The Mohawk has a typical empty weight of 450lb and a gross weight of 1000lb, giving a useful load of 550lb. With full fuel of the payload for pilot, passenger and baggage is 478lb.
The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied plans as 900 hours. In 1998 the designer indicated that the aircraft could be completed for US$6,500 excluding labor.
