            Full two-place light plane that retains very
            good takeoff and climb performance even at
            gross weight. Good visibility. First flew in
            1973. This aircraft is unconventional in the sense that it uses the 
            geodesic wing construction technique, similar to the Wellington 
            bomber of World War II.
