Construction

The frame of the hull made ​​of steel and aluminum tubes is clad with GRP parts, the wings in composite design are covered in the back. The four ailerons extend above and below almost the entire width of the airfoil, thus allowing a high roll rate. These are constructed as flaperons, that serve as flaps. For space- saving storage, the wings can be very easily by a single person folding in parallel to the fuselage to the rear.
