RST + 100% Detached Double Surface Everyone knows what RST does, now combine it with 100% Detached Double Surface and you have the finest flying Flex Wing on the Planet.... Introducing the all newMako 15 RST Trike Wing Coming Soon Mako 12 RST Start your 2015 flying season by converting your Manta H 12, 15 or Orca 12 to a Mako 15 RST or the all new Mako 12 RST.....Big step up in performance at a very affordable price....Starting at $2750....Always looking out for our loyal customers....Winter is the most convenient time to send your Wing in....Drop it off or we can arrange shipping. * 100% Detached D/S lowers the stall speed (40 mph) at max gross weight by creating more lift at a lower angle of attack. * 100% Detached D/S makes for a more efficient airfoil resulting in improved low end, more efficient mid-range and higher top end. * 100% Detached D/S allows the top and bottom surfaces to shift independently of each other resulting in "effortless" roll control. * 100% Detached D/S allows you to view your entire airframe for a safer pre-flight inspection. World class speed range 40 to 80+ mph, high MGW 1060 lbs. EFFORTLESS handling, RST, topless with folding struts $6500. The Mako is the fastest shark swimming the seas and is known to fly out of the water chasing prey, its also a relative of the Manta. Nine years ago the Manta RST Wing revolutionized the Trike World with its superior performance and handling.The average pilot could now fly all day long comfortably in various wind and thermal conditions and enjoy doing it! The Manta evolution continues with the Manta "H" RST , now sporting more double surface the bottom end performance is even better, lower stall speed, higher lift, improved power off glide. We also introduced the Orca 12 RST in 2009, its an 80% double surface speed Wing that can only be described as a Manta "H" on steroids! Fast and smooth in BIG AIR!
