WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Pod-and-boom fuselage with two seats in tandem under a three-piece transparency
- Pusher Rotax 912 ULS on the upper rear of the pod
- T tail carried on a narrow boom
It is a high-wing monoplane with a straight, constant-chord wing braced by a single forward-leaning strut each side. The pusher propeller turns just behind the wing trailing edge.

The Sprint is the standard sport version. The Sprint SKh is the agricultural spraying version, carrying 130 litres of sprayant in two tanks on the lower fuselage.
