The aircraft was designed by German designer at the biplane configuration, which increased its strength structure, increased hardness, and provided higher reliability when making flight. In addition, the use of a biplane configuration, the aircraft provided increased maneuverability that is the best suited for sports aircraft suitable for performing aerobatic stunts.

The plane was supposed to be released exclusively as a private sports aircraft, as a consequence, the scope of operation of the aircraft was very limited, but, nevertheless, the plane received a lot of support from potential customers, as evidenced big enough issue, amounting to four years about 50 aircraft, excluding those which are produced by Czech aircraft «UL-Jih Sedlacek Spol» as a set for self-assembly.
