construction
The XA42 is an "unlimited aerobatic" aircraft. The two-seater full CFRP aircraft is a low-wing model with a conventional tail unit. The aircraft is equipped with a three-blade controllable pitch propeller from MT. The aircraft was certified in the aerobatic and utility classes according to CS-23 in March 2011. Another approval was granted in November 2012 by the American aviation authority FAA .
The large control surfaces in conjunction with consistent lightweight construction enable high maneuverability while reducing the control forces. The single-seat variant XA41 was approved by EASA in February 2012 .
