Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft. Some countries differentiate between weight-shift control and conventional three-axis control aircraft with ailerons , elevator and rudder , calling the former "microlight" and the latter "ultralight".
The SS and RX 550 Plus wings have 3/4 span ailerons. All models have conventional three-axis controls. [3] The landing gear is of tricycle configuration. Earlier models did not have a steerable nosewheel since the nose wheel load weight was very light and could be used a little like a tail dragger, but the SS and RX 550 Plus include this feature.
