It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single 140NaN0 Radne Raket 120 engine in pusher configuration with a 3:1 ratio reduction drive, recoil start and a 1050NaN0 diameter three-bladed, ground adjustable, composite propeller. The fuel tank capacity is . The aircraft chassis is built from a combination of high-tensile steel. An optional completely dismantle-able cage was a factory option to improve ground portability.[1]
Acceptable pilot weight is up to 1000NaN0.[1]
As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.[1]
