It was supposed to issue plane Comp Air 4 in the already fully assembled and ready for operation, but, ultimately, guide aircraft company decided that the aircraft will be available as a kit for self-assembly, which is somewhat reduced the cost of flying apparatus on the market, but at the same time resulted in reducing risk of this model.

The standard power plant of the Comp Air 4 model is a Lycoming O-360-A1A four-cylinder piston aircraft engine developing 180 hp, which provides the ability to fly at distances up to 1222 kilometers (maximum aircraft flight range), with a maximum flight speed of up to 239 km \ h. Initially, American aircraft engineers intended to install the Walter aircraft engine, however, due to its low practical qualities, as well as its low reliability, it was decided to install a piston power plant that meets modern requirements and is inexpensive in terms of maintenance.

If necessary, the chassis of the aircraft may be replaced with wheel on the float, which in turn makes it possible to operate the aircraft as seaplanes, which also found its use from private owners.

In 2000-ies on the basis of the plane Comp Air 4 was created a modified version that allows you to post on the board to 6 people, including also a member of the crew, but despite this fact, the aircraft did not become popular among customers, and 20-year period, according to the 1995 2015 years, was built only 36 aircraft of this model.
