The aircraft is equipped with a 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or optionally a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, both with electric starters, and a 65 l (14 imp gal; 17 US gal) polyethylene fuel tank mounted under the seat. Dual hydraulic rear-wheel disc brakes with a parking brake feature are standard. The cockpit fairing is made of fibreglass.[1][2]
