WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Straight-tapered low wing with barely swept leading edges and four-position split flaps
- Two seats side by side under a large, single-piece, forward-hinged canopy
- Tricycle undercarriage with spats on all wheels
The airframe is riveted aluminium apart from composite wing tips and engine cowling. The tail surfaces are straight-tapered with a swept fin and rudder.
