The initial design program started in early 1994, and the Sportster flew for the first time in July 1996

The MCR Sportster is a side by side two-seater airplane with incredible performance and capability. Fast and agile, the VLA was specially designed to reach top speed while providing the most enjoyable experience to pilots.

The MCR Sportster is a very high performance aircraft, that can cruise as fast as 300 km/h with only a 100 hp engine, at very low cost. Thanks to the highest level of technology available, and very light material, the Sportster has a very efficient direct control system that guarantees the same satisfaction as flying a fighter jet.

The MCR Sportster can be equipped with a choice of different power plants, but may also be fitted with other options such as :

* Ballistic Recovery System parachute

* Extended range wing tanks.

* Toe operated Hydraulic brakes

The MCR Sportster is available in kit form in respect with the CNSK regulation (specific kit airworthiness certificate) or in the experimental category depending on the registration country.
