The Scout was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg). The aircraft has a standard empty weight of 224 lb (102 kg). It features a 400 sq ft (37 m2) parachute-style wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 45 hp (34 kW) Zenoah G-50 engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft carriage is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and 4130 steel tubing. Inflight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension.[1]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 224 lb (102 kg) and a gross weight of 485 lb (220 kg), giving a useful load of 261 lb (118 kg). With full fuel of 5 U.S. gallons (19 L; 4.2 imp gal) the payload for pilot and baggage is 231 lb (105 kg).[1]
