Interior
Basic 6 instruments with 8,33kHrz Trig Radio and Trig Mode S transponder. . Max weight for two pilots and luggage is no issue. Monnet designed the plane so that as long you can fit, you can fly it. Take off performance with MTOW still in the 700 fpm. Front passenger could have issues getting in at first, but when you sit, there is enough leg and head room. Back is the pilot flying, which should not be taller then 182 due to head space against the cockpit cap. But leg room is still ok. Only issue could be to move the legs if the front passenger has a big bottom ....
Exterior
Really a crowd pleaser if you land this airplane on other airfield. One of a kind.
Extra 40liter fuel tank for placement on front seat for more than double the range to about 450Nm. Extra prop for climb performance if needed
