Design and development

The RangerR was a development of the Lucas Dieselis and features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

The aircraft is made from composite sandwiches. Its 9.75 m (32.0 ft) span wing has an area of 10.24 m2 (110.2 sq ft) and flaps. The standard powerplant available is the 95 hp (71 kW) DAC YDT 1.7 litre diesel engine, developed by the airframe designers and based upon an Isuzu design.
