First rigid wing with wide diffusion. Very safe to fly, sink rate below 0.8m/s, glide ratio above 16, speed range from 32 to more than 110 km/h.
very easy to fly. handling at take off is typical rigid wing stuff: does not require any assistance in strong winds, cause on the wing that lifts up the spoiler will lift up too and will bring the wings level again without any pilot input. Very easy at take off. normal cruising speed is about 35km/h in thermals, 50 km/h straight. Very light in turns and very stable trajectory at speed hence excellent for (aero)towing. In thermals, its stability in roll requires sensitive pilot input to climb well. Not much affected by turbulences, only in pitch. Landing is easier than on a flex wing.
When folded, the weight and bulk can be problematic but splitting the wing in 2 halves helps.

Flight Design ne produit plus d'aile et rigides. Mais il y a une enterprise qui continue la fabrication des rigides Exxtacy.

Cette entreprise est :

A partir de 1999 l' Exxtacy a été amélioré: poids réduit 35kg / 38 kg; longueur pliée du grand modèle: 570 cm et le poids mini / maxi 100 kg / 160 kg (d'après mes connaissances le modèle 160 n'était jamais prévu pour vols biplace)
