CONSTRUCTION
Advanced Aluminium Construction + Composite elements
Rider has all metal semi-monocoque airframe, primary gluded and riveted from aluminium alloy sheets with blind rivets.
Its design enables longer life and simple maintenance.
MD3 Sport Rider is equipped with full dual control through separated control sticks for both pilots and dual pedals that make this plane ideal for flight schools or cross country flying.

FUSELAGE COCKPIT CAGE is welded from steel tubes. Its basic structure has firewall, engine mounting hinges and front wheel bracket in the front, doors and main gear hinges on its sides and instrument panel frame and seats brackets in the middle.

REAR FUSELAGE PART is riveted from aluminiuam alloy sheets with integral fin and tail hinges in the rear.

SIDE CANOPY DOORS hinged on the front enables great view and easy access.

COMPOSITE ENGINE COWLINGS and rear part of the canopy fairing create natural aerodynamic shape without usual square corners.

ALL METAL WINGS with simple aerodynamically sheped strut and efficient MS(1)-0313 airfoil with OMEGA-beam pressed ribs and integral fuel tanks 72 liters.
Ailerons and large flaps with 15°, 30° and 42° deflection are hinged on rear help-beam.
Large aerodynamically shaped wingtips increase wing efficiency.

TAIL. Classic-type all-metal tail has symmetrical NACA 12% profile.
Elevator has electrically controlled trim-tab as a standard.

FULL DUAL CONTROL with classic joysticks and pedals for both pilots.

FLAP lever, TRIM lever and THROTTLE are places on the central column.
Elevator and ailerons are controlled by rods.
Rudder is controlled by wires in plastic tubes.
Flpas are controlled by electric actuator placed in the cockpit ceiling.

WINGS can be ( optional ) quickly folded to the tail and horizontal tail surfaces can be dismounted for transportation or storage.

TRICYCLE LANDING gear with steerable 16x4" nose wheel, composite legs of main undercarriage and front wheel leg and main fork welded from steel tubes.
16x4" main wheels have hydraulic disc brakes, controlled by lever on the central column.

DESIGNE
The RIDER aircraft is designed to be easy to build and to maximize flight performance and efficiency.
The design of the aircaft is the result of extensive research and development by the italian team.
The interior of the RIDER is impressive both for the number of accessories and equipment fit.
There is plenty of headroom and the wide body allows comfortable side by side seating.
