The SportRider uses a welded metal fuselage, combined with semi-monocoque blind-riveted airframe construction and composite cowlings and covers. It has all metal wings for performance and durability. The wings have a folding wing option for storage and transport. The controls system is stick and rudder with dual stick and rudder pedals, and center mounted throttle and flap handle. It is a tri-cycle gear, tractor configuration with a steerable nosewheel. Hydraulic disc brakes are standard, with toe brakes an option. The SportRider is engineered to meet the design standards of factory produced Light Sport Aircraft and the needs of the Light Sport Aircraft home builder. OC Sport Planes became interested in the SportRider after seeing it at a fly-in in Texas. They then purchased a plane from distributor Chuck Reynolds of Aveo USA who flew their plane in from Texas in early December. The reason for purchasing the SportRider over other craft was the sleek design, quality of construction, and performance. Orange County Sport Planes is offering the plane ready to fly under the new light sport aircraft category. They will be providing sales and service for the south western U.S. from their 20,000 square foot facilities located at Fullerton Airport (KFUL) just minutes away from Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Angel's Stadium, Dodger Stadium, Hollywood and all of the major commercial airports.
