The Choucas is a two-seated (side by side) motor glider with a front-mounted engine. Its flying qualities make a remarkable machine in the European gliding market. The position of the pilot / passenger side by side and the wing slightly reverse sweep can provide unparalleled visibility and control of the aircraft.

The flight characsterics are pleasing to both experienced pilots and beginners alike. The airplane can be controlled from either the left or the right seat

Marketed as a basic kit available for homebuilders.
