The Fox, which first flew in 1993, is a development of the single-place aerobatic Swift S 1. Although it has been described as two-place for all jobs, the Fox is optimized for aerobatic training with erect and inverted clearance of +9/-6 g with one person and +7/-5 g with two people. The landing gear is fixed, and approach control is assisted by Schempp-Hirth airbrakes.
