Aquilla 14’
This is our standard wing. It has an 80% double surface and 31 battens. It is designed to be an ideal all round wing. We recommend the ‘14’ for all flying conditions. It is exceptionally predictable with light response therefore it excels in turbulent conditions


‘Aquilla 15’
This wing has a 70% double surface and 31 battens. We recommend this wing when flown at high altitude and in conjunction with the 503 engine. Its main characteristic is higher lift with shorter take off and landing abilities



Aquilla II’
This 15sqm wing has beefed up flying cables & leading edge spars. It features back – up spreader bar cables, enclosed keel & washout tubes, which improves the glide angle. Its main characteristic is high lift airfoil, greater climb, light roll & pitch and a greater speed range. It is also easier to assemble.

You recognize the Aquilla 2 wing by the enclosed keel & washout tubes.

The Aquilla II has easy handling and has enclosed washout and keel tubes.
The Aquilla I has the washout and keel tubes on the outside...

trikenut,it seems to me that u HAVE no EXPERTIES on what u are talking about. ##

a standard aquilla wing is 14 sq meters,and just looking at the keel pocket .

u have to ask for a 15 sq wing if u want one.

dirk,the wing on your fathers trike is a 14 sq,or standard wing.. vhpy
