the experimental amateur built category from kit form. The

dacron socks, which simply slide over the framework.
Building times are reported to be in the 150 to 200 hour
range. An optional Ceconite covering package is available
for those that want to go with a conventional covering
system.
All materials are aircraft grade 6061 T6, and 4130 chromoly,
with aircraft grade bolts and hardware. The fuselage, wings
and tail section come completely factory assembled. No
special tools or knowledge is required to build the plane
with all of the tubing supplied pre bent and pre drilled,
with all parts needing welding being done at the factory.

optional Yoke system available. The Ultra Sport can also be
equipped with floats, amphib floats, and skis. Engine
options start with the HKS 60 and 80 HP engines, as well as
