Design and development

The Argos was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from 6061-T6 aluminum sheet, with its cockpit strengthened with steel roll-over protection. Its 8.4 m span wing has an area of 11.6 m2 and electrically actuated flaps. Standard engines available are the 100 hp Rotax 912ULS, 85 hp Jabiru 2200 and the 120 hp Jabiru 3300 four-stroke powerplants. Cockpit access is by two gull-winged doors
