Design and development
The Graffiti was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb). It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing joined by titanium fittings, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.1 m (33.1 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The standard powerplant is a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine, but a wide range of engines are available. With the Rotax 582 powerplant the aircraft has an empty weight of 185 kg (408 lb) and a gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb), giving a useful load of 215 kg (474 lb). With full fuel of 42 litres (9.2 imp gal; 11 US gal) the payload is 185 kg (408 lb).
The aircraft has some unique features: the seat assembly and engine mount are integrated and the fuel tank will automatically depart the aircraft in the event of an impact. A wide range of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage.
