Design and development
editThe aircraft was derived from the FMP Qualt 200 and designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a T-tail, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a front-hinged bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The Speedy Mouse is made from mixed wood and epoxy construction. Its 9.2 m (30.2 ft) span wing employs a GA-W 1 airfoil and has an area of 10.5 m2 (113 sq ft). The wings can be quickly removed for ground transport or storage. The standard engine is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The aircraft was designed for aero-towing gliders.[1][2][3]
