new wing sections with a coefficient of lift that is about 0.2 higher
a maximum take-off weight of 850 kg for the Mi version
automatic control surface connections for the entire aircraft
enlarged cockpits
larger canopies to improve visibility and to allow easier entry and exit for the rear pilot




Variants
