The Quasar Relief is a series of Czech high-wing, single-place, topless, competitions hang gliders that was designed and produced by Quasar of DolnÃÂ BeÃÂva. The aircraft is supplied complete and ready-to-fly.
Design and development
The Relief is made from aluminum tubing, with the cross tube and battens made from carbon fibre and the double-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The nose angle for all models is 132ð. The models are each named for their rough wing area in square metres.
The design is "topless", that is lacking a kingpost and upper rigging, instead using a reinforced cross tube for rigidity.
Some models, designated with an "RX" suffix, have a small horizontal stabilizer attached to the keel tube that can be deployed 90ð to act as a speed brake for landing.
