Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, tapered |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 5.9 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | T-tail |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Side-by-side two-seat low-wing microlight with T-tail
- Wood and epoxy composite construction, front-hinged bubble canopy
- Fixed conventional tricycle gear, 9.2 m wingspan
The combination of a low wing, T-tail and front-hinged bubble canopy in a microlight-class aircraft is unusual and immediately distinguishes the Speedy Mouse from more conventional high-wing ultralights.
