 Designed by W.L.Parker, the Ranger originally had a retractable 11 kW/ 15 bhp engine and a 78 cm/ 31 in propeller. The Ranger was unable to take off on its own, so the Righter engine was fitted instead to give self- launch capability. It has a fixed main wheel plus a taxu wheel in the nose, and no glidepath control devices. Construction is all aluminum, with a laminated aluminum spar.
