This aircraft was built in Germany with assistance from an
educational institute in Aachen, to improve the aircraft and have
it comply with JAR-23 regulations. Before construction was finished
the aircraft was acquired by Wilhelm
Maul who also made the first and subsequent test flights. The
alterations (known as the Europe-kit) also improved the performance
and reduced the noise level considerably. The first flight was made
in 1994, but was damaged on July 30, 1995 and subsequently
de-registered. After rebuilt it was re-registered as D-EAVI and is
still flown by Wilhelm Maul. The four-seat aircraft is controlled
by a small stick in
between the two front seats. It is powered by an 180 hp Lycoming
IO-360 B1B engine driving a 3-blade constant speed pusher propeller.
It is also fitted with a speed brake and a fixed undercarriage with
a steerable nose wheel.
