Designed at the Moscow Aviation Institute the 890 has proven to be a useful general purpose aircraft and is used for pipeline patrols, glider towing and sports aviation. It can also be powered by a 50hp(37kW) Rotax 503UL when its maximum take-off weight is 771lb(350kg), or the 100hp(74kW) Rotax 912ULS when its maximum take-off weight is 991lb(450kg).
