The airplane is an all metal, two-place, high wing, single-engine airplane equipped with tricycle landing gear and is designed for sport flying and introductory training purposes.  The sheet metal fuselage bulkhead, stringer, and skin semi-monocoque construction provide safe and comfortable environment for pilot, passenger, and baggage. Forward pivoting seats allow access to the baggage area. Wing struts and main landing gear legs attach to an I-beam structure under the baggage area behind the seats. Nose gear and engine mount assembly attach to the firewall separating the cabin from engine compartment.  The aft fuselage empennage (tail assembly) consists of horizontal and vertical stabilizers, the rudder, a left elevator, and a right elevator with elevator trim tab. Attaching on either side the fuselage above the cabin, the wing contains fuel tanks at the wing root between the forward and aft spars. Aft of the rear wing spar are mounted the flaps (inboard) and ailerons (outboard). In addition to the fuselage carry-through spars, the wing is attached by forward-spar-to-fuselage struts. The wing, empennage, and flight control surfaces are also made of sheet metal spars, ribs, and skin semi-monocoque construction with balance weights incorporated into the rudder, elevators, and ailerons.

Four engine mount stringers are also
attached to the forward door posts and extend forward to the firewall.  The externally braced wings, containing integral fuel tanks, are constructed of a front and rear spar with formed sheet metal ribs, doublers, and stringers. The entire structure is covered with aluminum skin.
