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.
