metal, low wing, two seat, high performance aircraft. It was
built by A. Lichtensteiger and B. Daenzer from a Van’s

supervision of EAS (www.experimental.ch).

An extensive documentation of the building process can be

This aircraft is classified as “experimental”. Hence certain
design features may deviate from the typical “spam can”
certified production aircraft. Also, flight characteristics such as
high roll rate and light control forces can be more
demanding to the pilots’ skill.
This aircraft has been built by the builders to the best of their
knowledge and quality of craftsmanship. Nonetheless,
operating this aircraft is at the sole risk of the pilot.

This Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) is not officially approved..
However, we suggest that any pilot intending to operate
HB-YMT should study its content and operate accordingly.
