Once again a Moyes hang glider has reset the standards of its class. Utilising
the technologies and expertise derived from the most successful manufacturer of
competition gliders in the world, the Moyes crew have created the new Moyes Malibu
- an open frame floater hang glider.
The new Moyes Malibu offers unsurpassed levels of handling and safety to ensure
that your flying experience is as good as it can be. Whether your a newbie
to the sport and want a safe and rewarding glider to further develop your skills,
or an experienced pilot seeking fun on the sand dunes, you'll really appreciate
the features and flying characteristics of the Moyes Malibu.
The new Moyes Malibu offers an airframe built from 7075 aluminium tube, covered with a 4oz dacron sail. The sail is shaped and
supported by 15 battens made from 7075 aluminium as well as a unique leading edge
insert manufactured from Mylar and foam. Considerable effort has been made
to ensure the sail design is efficient, and as a result the Moyes Malibu is a sweet
handling glider that is capable of flying in very light conditions.
The sail design offers a number of stock colour designs, or you can optionally
choose your own colour combination if desired. The standard Moyes Malibu is
delivered with round uprights and a straight round base bar. Options include
aerodynamic uprights and a round speed bar.
The flying characteristics of the Moyes Malibu are sensational. The Malibu
offers an extremely slow stall speed with an extremely forgiving and progressive
stall. Tip stalls are almost impossible and the glider is very easy to recover
from most difficult situations. All you have to worry about is having too
much fun! Due to the advanced aerodynamic design of the Moyes Malibu, you'll
find yourself enjoying the flying in conditions that are lighter than you would ever
imagine. This is the glider that will stay up the longest and keep you flying
while the others are walking.
The new Moyes Malibu is a great choice of gliders. It will provide you
with immense fun whether dune-gooning, XC flying or just buzzing around.
