The aircraft is made from aluminium with some parts covered in doped aircraft fabric covering . Its 16.4 m (53.8 ft ) span wing employs a Wortmann FX S-02-158 airfoil . The wing features top and bottom Schempp-Hirth -style dive brakes . The landing gear consists of an oleo-pneumatic sprung, non-retractable main wheel, a tail wheel and a rubber sprung nose skid. The Puchatek has a baggage compartment with a capacity of 5 kg (11 lb ) for soft baggage items.[1] [2] [4]
The aircraft was type certified in the United States on 6 August 1991, with Barry Aviation of Edgewater, Volusia County, Florida as the US certificate holder.[2]
