The benefits of the Moyes XT145 can be summed up in one word.EASY!
EASY to land, due to a very low stall speed and excellent flare authority across the full recommended wing loading area.
EASY to launch because the glider with its positive handling at lower air speeds gives maximum control and safety.
EASY to fly due to light handling and an amazing glide and speed range. The quicker roll response and incredible sink rate make for easy thermalling and will consistently leave you at the top of the stack.
The Moyes XT145 perfectly compliments the Moyes Sonic, and extends the range of available gliders for lighter pilots.
