The PIK-26 Mini-Sytky is a single-seater ultra-light aircraft. The structure is entirely wood, except the wing and rudder which are cut from PVC foam. The one-piece wing attaches with two bolts to the main arch of the frame and its rear spar to the lower part of the backrest. Hinged flaps are fitted. The wing can be detached from below, leaving the frame resting on the landing gear.
The cockpit features a sidestick.
