The Great All-rounder
Lower price is no compromise!
The great all-rounder, with traditional kingpost design. A 13sqm wing but with Quik performance, a trim range of 55-80mph making it perfect for all occasions. Used by instructors, club pilots and competition pilots alike, it has taken it all without compromise. Holder of various world records from speed in a triangle to world record heights to winning world championships. The first Quik with a 450kg maximum take-off weight. This aircraft was originally designed with Wingtip Fins however recent experience has shown us that the addition of wing under-surface venting has been so effective in stabilizing our wings, giving faster and lighter roll control as well as easier ground handling, that wingtip fins are no longer necessary.

GT450 Wing (cruise 55-80mph)
The GT450 wing is very popular among flight instructors for its speed range, light and predictable handling and optimal flight characteristics for beginners to advanced pilots. Adjustments in the washout tips are available to tune the wing to the desired cruise speed, and the the electric trim system also available to set speed in flight. The latest model GT450 wing, with the under-surface vents, can be flown with wingtip fins for great stability at speed, or without the wingtip fins for improved roll handling.
Under-surface vents
The GT450 wing, as well as the GTR and QUIKR wings, come now standard with the under-surface vents. The under-surface venting system is very efficient in stabilizing the wing and keeping a consistent leading edge shape and pressure. They provide faster and lighter roll control and wingtip fins are no longer necessary.
Electric Speed-Trim System
The GT450 wing is fully compatible with your QUIK chassis electric speed trim system. The popular proven electric trim system works very well. It is conveniently located at easy reach and next to the hand throttle control. It allows for complete speed trim range as well as very precise, small speed adjustments. Pull the lever up to slow down, push the lever down to speed up. It is that easy. The trim speed range for the GT450 wing is aproximately 55-80mph.

To Dauphin Island, Alabama
This was a very fun trip as I joined Gary from Beach Flight Aviation for a flight from Jack Edwards Airport to Dauphin Island and back, in the beautiful Gulf Coast of Alabama.
The weather was spectacular and we were able to do some video with different cameras and camera angles.
The GT450 (Yellow Trike) and GTR (Orange Trike) wings are identical in size, however, the strutted GTR wing is a bit faster as it produces less drag. Using the Electric Trim incorporated in the QUIK chassis, we were able to trim the GTR down in speed slightly so to match that of the GT450, and fly together during the entire flight.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoyed producing it.
