What does the wing lets do

I know to reduce induced drag but does it make such a difference

Yes, it does, less drag. So higher speed.
The manufacturer claims 3-4 mph of speed increase. I think it is depend of the wing and undercarriage.
Also because bigger area of the wing creates the lift force the climbing rate must increase.
The same with the stall speed, should be a bit less.

I am planning to make the precise test: to fly the same trike and wing with and without winglets.
I will do it with Winglass 503 trike and Stratos 15TL topless wing next week or 10 days, just waiting for new set of winglets arriving from abroad.

Thanks would love to see the results

Hi P-Prop

But we accept ETF.

We can convert yourRaptor wing to topless for about R15,000 - R17,000.

I think it is a fair price.
What will my cruising speed be with the conversion to topless?

What wing do you have? 17 or 16 m2 ?

What speed you cruise now?

I am not sure about the wing area, according to Mervyn it is 14.7m2. I cruise at about 50m/h one up with fuel.

Sent you e-mail

[Jenya]

Bugwar, if you have Raptor wing, it can be 16 or 17 m2 only.

[Jenya]

I think we can get 65 mph hands off.

The time has come to make the RED RAPTOR topless.

Anyone got a phone number for Jenya? The Aerossa website does not work.

Did the Cobra win the race to Nylstroom?

Good luck with the conversion...I look forward to seeing the result chom. The Beautiful Dawn will have to take off 30 min before you guys from now on?

[Bugwar]

My decision is based on both comfort and speec. Easy to fold and awesome to fly (I hope)

I am very keen to go this route as well..............what red tape is involved with RAASA/CAA when converting an existing wing (Aquilla II) to topless??

I saw this trike yesterday with the wheel spats on - It is awesome..

Hey Bugwar,

Have you done this topless conversion yet?? Pics and performance specs please!! A buddy of mine has a topless Aquilla, and says it feels like a merc with power steering at 200kmh! Now i'm thinking too much...
