The Mythos started out as the S.A.I. Aeronautica G97 Spotter. Later, production was moved to German Aircraft GmbH and the design sold as the German Aircraft Sky-Maxx. After unsuccessful marketing, the designer decided to have the aircraft produced himself under contract in Italy by Officine Meccaniche Mingarelli and it was then sold as the OMM M-7 Servator.[1] [2] [3]
The Mythos is intended for the observation role and in particular agricultural research, forestry, law enforcement, flight training, sightseeing, aerial photography and cattle mustering.[1] [2] [3]
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The aircraft has extensive glazing to allow maximum visibility.[1] [2]
The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet. Its 8.751NaN1 span wing has an area of 10.3m2 and mounts effective flaps to allow low-speed flight and loitering. Standard engines available are the 1000NaN0 Rotax 912ULS and the 950NaN0 ULPower UL260i four-stroke powerplants.[1] [2]
OMM completed French and German ultralight certification in the middle of 2012.[2] The company seems to have gone out of business in 2013, though.[4]
Reviewer Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as having, "slow flying capabilities and excellent cockpit visibility that is among the best of all aircraft in its category especially with the legendary transparent nose section".[2]
