The Tyro is a high-wing, single strut-braced monoplane built of aluminium. The wing and tail are covered with Dacron fabric and doped. It is powered by engines in the Rotax range, usually the 277, but examples have been flown with the Rotax 447 or 503, and is said to be highly manoeuvrable, can fly at low speeds and has a reasonable cruising speed. Construction is of aluminium with a constructed main spar, pressed ribs and stressed skin leading edge. Structual members are all bolted or pop riveted with no welding required. Covering is fabric material stretched over the frame. Undercarriage suspension has bungee rubbers on main wheels. Aircraft can be assembled and disassembled in seven minutes for storage and trailering. A cockpit pod has been included for pilot protection.
