The original Zodiac model delivers good performance with low power. Features a high-lift constant-chord wing design with no flaps.	Designed specifically for ‘Advanced Ultralight’ categories around the world that limit the gross weight of the aircraft. The design is nearly identical to the HD model.	Based on the HD model, the 'Super Zodiac' features tapered and shorter 'speed wings.'
