New Agir 55lb wing?

battles2a5 · March 6th, 2008, 01:34 PM

Well I ordered the Habrok 56lb/26kilo wing and when it showed up it was a completely different wing than the one advertised. Apparently it is now a 55lb wing, is more of a circular design, and now has 2 sets of mounting holes instead of 3. The wing is not on the site yet but my supplier said it was redesigned in response to consumer complaints that the base of the wing had too much lift. The old Habrok is no longer available. It almost looks like a donut but it is not, the base of the horseshoe is just tapered. From the looks it doesn't seem like it would be as stable as the old design. Anyway, I just wanted to see if anyone had any experiences with this wing and can provide opinions around its performance.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan

Sure. I'm going to go ahead and dive it this weekend and see how it works. I was incorrect in my first post stating that it had too much lift. Apparently Agir got feedback that it was a little too wide at the bottom so they lengthened the wing and tapered the ends to maintain the same lift characteristics and make it a little more narrow. I'll try to snap some pics and let you know how it works out.

As promised, here are the pics. For reference, it is bolted up w/ a Salvo BP and X8-130's.

FWIW, the wing performed well. I am happy with it. It's pretty big but very stable, the dumps are well placed, and it trims out nicely.

It's looks like 360* 44lb Agir Niord (Evolve clone), not horseshoe Habrok Wing...

See below photo

It's definitely not the Njord, it is a horseshoe wing. It is round shaped but the bladder is closed at the bottom. This is the new version of the Habrok. It's not on the site yet but the old Habrok is no longer available (according to Salvo). It doesn't have a model name printed on it but the lift is marked at 55lbs.
