Litespeed RS - Description

LitespeedrsGerolf Heinrichs has increased the span of the Moyes Litespeed S gliders to create the RS series, a glider with decreased induced drag and therefore increased performance.  This latest evolution of the Moyes Litespeed line with its higher aspect ratio is combined with changes to the sail design and cut that produce excellent handling characteristics when launching, landing and thermaling.  The RS is available in two sizes (RS 3.5 and RS 4) and with optional carbon fibre leading edges, dive struts, and battens which provide reduced inertia, always useful when initiating turns.

The Moyes Litespeed RS is a high performance competition class glider. Its high strength carbon fibre crossbar, high leverage variable geometry setup, inboard and outboard aluminum or carbon fibre sprogs make for a fully realised racing topless glider. This internal structure is combined with a tight wrinkle-free sail with minimum twist.

You’ll find that the RS glider is easy to roll in and out of a turn even with its high aspect ratio and is stable on glide and on tow. With two sizes with overlapping hook-in weights, pilots can choose their optimal wing loading. Race results show that competition pilots often choose to fly with a heavier wing loading than is specified for better performance at high end racing speeds.The standard Race RS is configurable with a wide range of options up to a Full Race Carbon Fibre model.
