Design and development
The Trio-Star 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}}. It features a Bautek Pico cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat open cockpit without a cockpit fairing, adjustable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. It can also be equipped with a paraglider wing or ridden as a bicycle, with the appropriate options fitted.
The aircraft is made from welded steel tubing, in its "Delta" configuration it is fitting with a double surface hang glider wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The {{convert|9.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a V twin-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke {{convert|33|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine. The landing gear has an adjustable track width, depending on the application and wing used. The aircraft has an empty weight of {{convert|91|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and carries a full fuel load of {{convert|15|L}}.
