Design and development edit
The aircraft was designed as an intermediate glider. The design has progressed through three generations of models, the Avis 1, 2 and 3, each improving on the last. The Avis 3 was introduced in 2003.[1]
The models are each named for their approximate wing area in square metres.[1]
