The Enduro was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb).

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10 m (32.8 ft) span Air Creation wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.
