Fly Castelluccio SMN

The SMN was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations. It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place accommodation and a single Simonini Racing engine in pusher configuration powering a two-bladed 100 cm (39 in) wooden propeller through a reduction drive. The fuel tank capacity is 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal).^[1]

As is the case with all paramotors, take-off and landing is accomplished by foot. Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.^[1]
