Design and development
The aircraft was designed as a light-sport aircraft, specifically for the American market and features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cabin accessed via doors, fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft is made from sheet aluminum "all-metal" construction. Its wing is supported by V-stuts and jury struts. The GS-240 was supplied as a quick-build kit, with most major fabrication completed prior to delivery to allow for quick assembly time.
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off distance over a 15 m (49 ft) obstacle is 91 m (299 ft).
The design does not appear on Federal Aviation Administration list of accepted light-sport aircraft.
