The aircraft was introduced in 2002 and production ended when the company went out of business in 2014.[3]
The Two-Seater was designed to comply with the Canadian Basic Ultra-Light Aeroplane rules, but also fit the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 4500NaN0. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 3740NaN0. It features a 500square feet Apco 500 parachute-style wing, two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration, tricycle landing gear and a single 640NaN0 Rotax 582 two-stroke engine in pusher configuration. The 600NaN0 HKS 700E four-stroke engine was a factory option.[1] [4]
The aircraft carriage is built from bolted 6061-T6 aluminium, stainless steel fittings and aircraft bolts. 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 rod suspension. The occupants are protected by a series of circular aluminium tubes in the event of a roll-over.[1] [4]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 3360NaN0 and a gross weight of 8250NaN0, giving a useful load of 4890NaN0. With full fuel of the payload for crew and baggage is 4290NaN0.[1] [4]
The company also supplied custom trailers for towing the aircraft behind an automobile.[4]
In September 2015 three examples were registered with Transport Canada and three were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[5] [6]
Reviewing the aircraft in 2003 Jean-Pierre le Camus said, "this side by side Canadian machine has a lot of character".[1]
