"Every pilot needs his wing" . This is the philosophy with which GRIF develops its design.
The CRS Kpl is our answer to the applications of the sector, a wing without tower, it also allows an easier to put again in structures normally devoted to the aerial treassis, tha natural evolution of our products, the opening to haul decreased and a new project of the sail, further to a new cut of the double surface, they make the CRS kpl as many fast and contemporarily slower and manageable in comparison to equivalent wings of other producers.
KPL means King post less, that is, wing without tower, since 1999, year when the CRS was born, the GRIF has in the drawer this type of loom, in fact the first sail of the CRS12 is a sail it deprives some holes for the superior cables and for the tower, this wing has flown and has satisfied then already us, but we have wanted to sound the market also proposing the version with cables, the clients they did their choice and the without tower it returned in the drawer waiting for the maturation of the times.

These times have now arrived, other builders have introduced wings without tower and us, you overcome the difficulties caused by the involvement in the 2002 accident, we have decided to propose this project.
As for the CRS 12 and 13 The data of departure, foresaw the realization of a wing that had a speed maximum superior to those of the SPYDER, but that at the same time it maintained the characteristics of pilotage proper of the products GRIF.
The CORSAIR KPL complete the range of the wings for the pendulum-like flight, a small as enough with his 12,8 mq. of surface to haul, it guarantees performance of elevated speed; and the other with the his 13,7 to satisfy that pilots that want to continue to use the motor Rotax 503, to often fly in two and that they appreciate the grim and the aesthetical aspect of the CORSAIR kpl.
The use of winglets and the long period of development which has interested both the cut of the sail, and the frame, has given some excellent results for the category of wings to which the CORSAIR KPL belongs.

Also in this case we have used some experience accumulated in the production of hang-glider, where the aerodynamic refinements produce excellent results.
The good job of equilibrium drawn by the reduction of the opening to haul added to the changes on the cut of the sail and to the proportions between upper sails and double surface, makes the CORSAIR KPL two special wings for their category.
We have used for the first time the wingletses on a wing for motorized flight, for the CORSAIR they are two models available of it, them besides the wing to make more aggressive they contribute in remarkable way to the gotten performances.
Is besides possible to climb on on the same wingletses of the strobo lights on purpose realized for the GRIF, they give a sure contribution to the safety of flight.
The reached results repay us of our job, because in the CORSAIR the tall performances are synthesized required by the most demanding pilots and the behavior of flight really of the products GRIF
To satisfy the applications of our clients the CRS they are produced in two ransoms.

CRS kpl-12 is special for trike that uses motor with around 60 and over cv of power
CRS kpl-13 is special for trike that uses motor with around 50 and less cv than power
Both the models can be employed both in monoplace and in biplace and both can equally employ trike with all the motorizations above described.
CORSAIR kpl 12 coupled to a careened trike, and motorized with a Rotax 503, in flight biplace reaches a maximum speed of around 140 Kmh; and it can fly for long lines to middle speed of around 110 Kmh. and contemporarily can fly very slow, to a least speed of around 45 Kmh.
While the CORSAIR kpl 13 are slightly a greater than surface, 13,7 mq, it was born for satisfying that pilots that want to continue to use the motor Rotax 503, to often fly in two and that they appreciate the grim and the aesthetical aspect of the CORSAIR. Able a maximum speed of 130 Kmh, a middle speed of 95 Kmh, relatively maintains a least low, around 42 Kmh.
GRIF has always had and it will always have attention to the demands of the clients, this philosophy of thought has always allowed us to realize wings with a special personality, uniting before never excellent dowries of flight to aesthetical finishes sights in the sector.
The CORSAIR KPL, thanks to the wing's structs, can totally be dam on the trike, leaving open only the triangle and climbed on him "structs" . The advantages of the frame KPL is essentially tied to their put again, a trike that climbs on a wing of this type, can practically be put again in a more compact structure, occupying in height the necessary space to the refuge of an Ultralight.

The way we work,
the way you fly.
