Development

The Zippy Sport is a single-seat, high-wing monoplane powered by a 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503 piston engine. Of mixed construction (metal, wood and fabric), it has a fixed tail-dragger landing gear. The aircraft is available in the form of plans for amateur construction.

The two prototypes which first flew in 1986 were used as test beds for Rotax engines.
