The aircraft is made in the configuration vysokokryla, which in turn provided the aircraft high lift force when using a low-power power plant, however, seriously affected the speed of flight, which, however, despite this, the satisfaction of the majority of potential customers needs.

His first flight of the aircraft took place in Ultracraft Calypso 1994 year. Through a fairly simple its design, the aircraft did not require any modifications, and almost immediately was sent to the serial production, where he was both as kits for self-assembly, which allowed further reduce the cost of the aircraft, as well as the already fully ready for operation models , allowing future owners to save their time on the assembly of the aircraft.
