Design and development[]

Built from glassfibre, the Ximango is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with conventional landing gear and a T-tail. Powered by front-mounted 80 hp Limbach L2000 E01, it has an enclosed side-by-side cockpit for two. The wings fold for storage or transportation. The type could also be fitted with an alternate engine. The type was developed into the Rotax-powered AMT-200 Super Ximango.
