New Gibbo Wing Mako 15 RST
Gibbo Gear is coming out with a new wing, a 15 meter double surface, check out their website http://www.gibbogear.com/
In the desciption it says "100% double surface increases top end speed and lowers the stall speed....Not sewing the under surface to the top surface allows the two surfaces to shift independently of each other during flight improving handling. Another cool feature of the detached under surface is you can pre-flight your entire airframe!"
What is difference between a regular double surface wing (which as I understand typically are 80 percent double surface) vs this wing, which is 100 percent double surface.
The other question is a 100 percent double surface wing would be much more cleaner and faster than a 80% double surface wing, how does that help lower the stall speed? If anything I would think that it would increase Stall speed.
Am I right in my thinking?

Looks like a cool wing. Would be fun to test fly one.
Is there anyone on this site that has flown the new Gibbo Mako 15 wing. I have heard great things about this wing's performance. But I was hoping to talk to someone who has the first hand experience of flying this wing. Finally I am in a position to buy the wing cash but now I need to know what wing is best for my needs.

Did you finally sell your 19 meter northwing?
Dave G,
I still have my wing. I got one very close offer to what I was asking for it and for the most part I got tire kickers (nothing wrong with that) so I am not exactly sure what to do. My wing flies very nice and my dad wants to learn flying next year so I am thinking of possibly saving it for him unless if I can sell it for my price which is 4500 and for a 10 hour wing I think that is a very fare price. Even I can't get a practically brand new wing like this for this price.
