This aircraft is classified as “experimental”. Hence certain
design features may deviate from the typical “spam can”
certified production aircraft. Also, flight characteristics such as
high roll rate and light control forces can be more
demanding to the pilots’ skill.
This aircraft has been built by the builders to the best of their
knowledge and quality of craftsmanship. Nonetheless,
operating this aircraft is at the sole risk of the pilot.
