1. Large tapered ailerons for responsive roll, feature stainless steel hinges and ball bearing bellcranks and push rods.

2. Large flaps bring landing speeds down to UL standards; access the small fields with STOL performance to spare.

3. Flow fences, which are standard and improve the cruise speeds, attach to the 5" tail boom which features a bonded- in doubler.

4. Large vertical tail for good stability couples to an ample rudder for exceptional cross-wind control.

5. Trim out for hands off flying with the elevator trim tab. Trim wheel is located on the center flap lever.

6. Dual elevator horns offer redundant response. Adjust the horizontal stabilizer for the exact trim with the built-in adjust feature.

7. Stamped aluminum ribs and double braced tail cables assure a reliable long lasting tail structure.

8. Cooling is never a problem with this high capacity radiator.

9. Hydraulic brakes and aircraft grade tires provide many trouble free takeoffs and landings.

10. Tapered spring steel gear absorb the landing shocks of unimproved fields.

11. Optional wheel pants compliment the standard gear leg fairings.

12. Custom extruded airfoil struts are anodized for corrosion protection. Aft strut is adjustable for fine tuning wing twist.

13. Steerable nose wheel absorbs landing shocks through a built-in compression spring.

14. Order the glazing in the standard clear or optional tinted.

15. Jury struts fold for wing folding and come with streamline fairings.

16. Clean a little more drag with the strut to wing fillet fairings.

17. Big 3 inch leading edge and 2 inch trailing edge spars make for strong, easy to assemble wings. Spars come pre-machined with all the critical holes located.

18. Aluminum ribs feature stamped gussets and tubes, plus a build up jig is included for fast, accurate assembly.

19. More finishing touches are provided with the push tube exit fairings.
