The Panda was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a T-tail, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2][3][4]
The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum, with some parts, such as the engine cowling and wing tips made from composites. Its 8.91 m (29.2 ft) span wing employs a modified NACA 633-618 airfoil, has an area of 10.6 m2 (114 sq ft) and flaps. The cabin width is 120 cm (47 in).[1][2][3][4][5]
The Panda prototype was first flown on 28 September 2011.[2][3][4]
Reviewer Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as possessing visibility that "is good in all directions because of very large glassed surfaces". He also noted that it is "sold at a reasonable price".[1]
