Design and development
The aircraft features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a sliding canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear or, optionally, conventional landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The Minihawk is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 25.5 ft (7.8 m) span wing has an area of 106 sq ft (9.8 m2) and mounts flaps. The cockpit is 40 in (102 cm) wide. The aircraft's recommended engine power range is 65 to 100 hp (48 to 75 kW) and standard engines used include the 100 hp (75 kW) Continental O-200 four-stroke powerplant. Construction time from the supplied kit is estimated as 1500 hours.

Even though a prototype was constructed, by November 2012 no examples were registered in its home country with Transport Canada.
