Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of {{convert|450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of {{convert|450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. It features a strut-braced "topless" Hazard 12S or 15S hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The Streamer has a double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The Hazard 12S {{convert|9.8|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing has supporting struts and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a four-cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition {{convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912UL engine. The fuel tank includes internal baffling and the engine oil tank is enclosed inside the fuselage.
With the Hazard 12S wing the aircraft has an empty weight of {{convert|185|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and a gross weight of {{convert|450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, giving a useful load of {{convert|265|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. With full fuel of {{convert|64|L}} the payload is {{convert|219|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.
The Hazard 12S wing has an area of {{convert|12|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and is intended for experienced pilots, while the Hazard 15S wing has a wing area of {{convert|15|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and is envisioned as a school and student training wing. The Hazard 12S wing gives a cruising speed that is {{convert|30|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} faster than the 15S wing.
