The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with the wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.1 m (33.1 ft) span wing is cable braced from a single kingpost. The nose angle is 126° and the aspect ratio is 6.7:1. Pilot hook-in weight range is 60 to 120 kg (132 to 265 lb).[1]

The IC sold for €3950 in 2003.[1]
