Pico L - the perfect wing for           solo-trikes

We are sorry to inform you that we no longer produce any new hanggliders, trikes or ultralight wings. For spare parts or any other question, please send us an email to info@bautek.com

 

The 2007 created UL-class 120kg (165 Lbs), (trike + wing + safety system), opened for many pilots, who want to fly without a lot of preparation, logistics and expense, an entry into motorized flight. The license requires no medical examination and no minimum airtime anymore. The aircraft must still be class-inspected, but a class-license is not required anymore.

 

To stay within the weight limits an efficient, maximal 40 kg (88 Lbs) heavy UL-wing was needed, with a wide attainable flying speed range, easy handling and which guarantied absolute safe flying characteristics.

For the Pico L (L=leicht/light) we installed the successful sail of the Pico S on a newly designed, lighter frame and had instant success. Testpilots were delighted!

 

The wing weighs 39 kg (86 Lbs) and is certified for a launch weight of 238 kg (525 Lbs).

 

The Pico L offers performance, which years ago no two-place trike with strong engines could realize. The wing flies with the Bautek-Skycruiser-Trike over 130 km/h (80 mph) top speed, travel speed is 90 km/h (56 mph), min. sink is 1,6 m/sec (315 ft/min), max. climb is 3-4 m/sec (600-800 ft/min), landing speed is under 45 km/h (28 mph), fuel consumption 3,5 l/std. (0.925 gal/hr). The wing is used also on other trikes and sets the standard in the 120 kg class.
