6 June 2016 Hi Visitor,

New Option:We now have a new option available for all gliders with Technora mainsails. As you can see in the photo attached there are 3 Technora RX's with coloured batten reinforcing tapes Gold (back), Black (middle) and Fl Yellow (front). Black is the standard, the optional colours available are: Red, Fl Yellow, Fl Orange, Fl Pink and Gold. This option gives another new dimension to customising!

Big Gecko 170:The first prototype of the Gecko 170 has been a huge success. We have just a bit of fine tuning before we begin the certification process of the production model.

The reason Moyes gliders look so clean and wrinkle free!
Robert Pendleton is our master sailmaker and is unquestionably the most experienced hang glider sailmaker in the world. Robert started his apprenticeship with Mitchell sails starting in the early 70’s when he was just 16, he cut his teeth on the 14 footer ski kite when Mitchell’s were making the very early sails for Bill! Robert’s expertise and finesse shows in every Moyes sail produced. We continually get compliments on how clean and wrinkle free our sails are. He has our sail loft working with precision and we are very appreciative to have him on board. |
