The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet with some fibreglass parts. Improvements over the Storm Century include fewer panel joins, a newly redesigned vertical fin and drag-reduction. Its 7.9 m (25.9 ft) span rectangular wing mounts flaps and has a wing area of 10.27 $m^2$ (110.5 sq ft). The cabin width is 112 cm (44 in).
