Design and development
The Bulldog features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with two windshields, conventional landing gear and a nine-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition {{convert|150|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotec R3600 radial engine in tractor configuration. The aircraft fuselage is made from composite materials.
Styled as a 1930s aircraft, the design employs an unusual curved main rotor mast that also serves as a vertical stabilizer.
