A civilian light plane developed by Bandit Aircraft Group as a simple, light training aircraft. It features sturdy, fixed landing gear, simplifying maintenance. This aircraft is painted in standard training aircraft colors. 1100 were used by the Pilotmario Air Force. However, it was replaced by the Pummeler Trainer due to the large number of parts available for the aircraft. This aircraft was later used in civilian flight schools, retaining the same PAF colors (minus the rounded). Its durability and simplicity ensure it is used long into the future. Military export customers often used the type for basic flight training as well as light attack. In fact, an Olympian Army raid on a Hellenic rebel camp discovered a well-camouflaged example on an airfield. The aircraft was fitted with bomb racks taken from wrecked PAF and OAF aircraft fixed crudely onto the wings. Technicians found the aircraft flyable, although it was destroyed on the spot as they had no practial way to move the aircraft. This is a civilian variant with military-type colors.
