History
Design began in 1985 around a Porsche PFM 3200 engine, which Porsche abandoned in 1992, so a 300 hp Lycoming AEIO-540 was fitted. The first flight with the Lycoming took place in 2000.
Variants
Only one aircraft was built. It was originally intended for the Porsche PFM 3200.
Where you'll see it
It is used by Akaflieg München at Königsdorf as a glider tug and in aerobatic competitions. Certification was granted in November 2011.
