Voted South Africas

best Microlight
for 2013!

Aquilla Wings

The Aquilla wings are custom made and have

been refined over the years to provide the design
characteristics of strength, stability, light handling and
to also have a very competitive edge. We also wanted
a forgiving wing, which could be flown by beginners
and yet would also satisfy experienced pilots and be
suitable as a training wing. The frame is made of aircraft
quality tubing, which is multi-sleeved, and where
necessary , we use safety cables. The wing fabric is a
high quality Dacron fabric with reinforced Power Stop
cloth on essential areas to prevent stretching and give
a clean ,drum tight surface.

Aquilla II
This 15sqm wing has beefed up flying cables and
leading edge spars. It features backup spreader bar
cables, enclosed keel and washout tubes, which
improves the glide angle. Its main characteristic is
high lift airfoil, greater climb, light roll and pitch and a
greater speed range. With its light response it excels in
turbulent conditions.

Aquilla I
This wing has nan 80% double surface and 31 battens.
It is designed to be an ideal all round wing. We
recommend this 14 sqm for all flying conditions. It is
exceptionally predictable with light response and light
in roll it therefore excels in turbulent conditions

Versatility and Convenience

Park in your garage, wheel it onto your customized

trailer and drive off to the airstrip, or take it with you on
