MW7
The MW7 was designed in 1986 as a simple aircraft for the PPL A licence holder. The aircraft is not a microlight.
Construction is basically the same as the microlights except the fuselage struts are made from aluminium alloy angle thus eliminating machined end fittings.
The aircraft was designed to ARB paper 98 Aerobatic category. Limit loads are +6.5 -3.0g.
However due to the requirement for complex flight tests and the possibility of damage litigation in the event of a crash the aircraft is only approved for normal category operation.

MW7 prototype being load tested
The + 6.5 g 1590 Kg (3500 Lbs) load is applied using concrete blocks.
Ten MW7's have now been built and flown
Although a crisp but steady flying aircraft, pilots should have a reasonable amount of flying experienced and be proficient in handling tail dragger aircraft.
