The aircraft was designed to meet Regulation 95-10, being a two-seater in tandem with an open cockpit or enclosed cockpit, as the customer wishes, but with the same responsive controls and handling of the larger aircraft. The cargo area can be used for a jump seat.

In 1985 the Aircraft Spruce and Specialty Company sponsored the design and construction of a light aircraft, the goal being to develop a new homebuilt aircraft that could be easily constructed from plans and / or building instructions and using commonly available materials.
