TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
SIZE SPECIFICATION
The 19 is a slow wing, easy to assemble. Its low glide ratio and VS0 (Stall Velocity) make it possible to take off and land short or to slow the aircraft down for aerial works such as flying with floaters or crop spraying.
The 16, is a beginner school wing with a good glide ratio and wing stability that allow to cross country at reasonable speeds (65 to 80km/h).
The 14.9 is a versatile wing, supporting important loads, good handling and a great speed range. Prized for intensive tandem flights as well as for individual flight, it can only be a right choice.
The 12.9 is agile and fast. Efficient, precise, manoeuvrable, the IPSOS 12.9 is a fighter aircraft preferring small and medium loads.
The 16.9 is the wing with the widest speed range. It supports large loads and has excellent finesse. It is very popular for big, heavy trikes and motors hungry for speed.
