The AMD Patriot is a light sport aircraft produced by Aircraft Manufacturing and Design Co. In 2007 AMD announced that they intended to produce a high-wing, all metal, tricycle gear aircraft with a Continental O-200 engine to compete with the Cessna Skycatcher.[1]
The AeroAndina MXP-150 Kimbaya was chosen as a donor platform for the sole prototype constructed. Built to comply with the FAA's Light/Sport aircraft standards, the plane was intended to compete with other light, recreational aircraft including the aforementioned Skycatcher.
