Wide speed range! Light bar pressure!

We were able to use our accumulated knowledge after 20 successful years in hang glider design and construction  to create a new cutting edge Trike wing that sets a new standard in the industry.  The Pico is at the top of its class in flight characteristics and achievements.  Featuring all our known innovations in hand glider design:

1)  Our patented Speed-Valves.  A small window in the external lower sail area that leads to a better airflow at higher speeds.
2) Integrated wind tunnel tested wing tips!  The least amount of drag and most optimum flow at the tip area.
3) Extruded 7075 and 2017 aircraft quality aluminum tubing structure, that was tested to the maximum allowed take-off mass at 450kg!
4) Faired uprights and kingpost.
5) The best hardware.  Stainless steel brackets, tempered screws and more!

When designing the Pico, we placed special importance on a wide speed range (Vmin 28 MPH, Vmax 87 MPH!).  The Pico is very well balanced and handles easy.  A light bar pressure is one of its welcomed flight characteristics.  An outstanding trainer for those who run HG and/or UL business!   "Bautek-Support", super fast shipping and dependable repair service, is well known around the hang gliding world!  All spare parts in stock are shipped out on the same day!  Damaged areas can be repaired by FexAmerica or at Bautek's workshop quickly and at a reasonable price!  Bautek's well known sail shop is able to perform complicated repairs.
