Curious what wings it's using. From the "airframe section" on their webpage, sorta sounds like they're using wings that are already "JAR certified", thus on an existing aircraft......


isn't it obvious? they look suspiciously similar to PW5 wings, and have the same span....


Pod and canopy look like PW5 (except for pointed nose). Undercarriage position is PW5. Only the boom and tail feathers are significantly different. Even the maximum weight is the same, though the empty weight is 10 kg less, despite the engine and funky powered dual mainwheel.
