Glasflügel Upgrades
- Winglets NG for the Standard Libelle, Club Libelle & Hornet
We are very proud to offer the updated Winglets NG.
These new winglets have use the latest technology and included extensive research and testing, and as always, we are proud to offer the high Streifeneder quality.
They are not only eye catching, but also improve the sailplane’s flight characteristics in the following ways:-
- The minimum speed is lower
- The directional control is better
- The stall behaviour in straight flight and in a banked turn is more docile
- The aileron response is improved even during the take-off and landing
- Improved aerodynamics and performance
The winglets are constructed from carbon fibre reinforced plastic and only slightly heavier than the original wing tips, have a robust connection to the wing. They are rigged in seconds and secured in place by a spring loaded pin. There are no loose parts. The original wing tips may still be used. You can read a review about the new Winglets NG here.

- Winglets for the Mosquito
We are very proud to offer Winglets for the Mosquito.
As the Mosquito is a contender in the new Club Class, we have adapted the winglets of the Glasflügel 304, and as always, we are proud to offer the high Streifeneder quality.
They are not only eye catching, but also improve the sailplane’s flight characteristics in the following ways:-
- The minimum speed is lower
- The directional control is better
- The stall behaviour in straight flight and in a banked turn is more docile
- The aileron response is improved even during the take-off and landing
- Improved aerodynamics and performance
The winglets are constructed from carbon fibre reinforced plastic and only slightly heavier than the original wing tips, have a robust connection to the wing. They are rigged in seconds and secured in place by a spring loaded pin. There are no loose parts. There is an option to modify the original tip for use, but we have found that once winglets are installed, they never come off. For this reason, the standard kit assumes the original tips will not be used.
We have the first flight with winglets and you can read a review here.Winglet Retrofit Kit for the Mosquito Includes:
-
- TN303-27 and additional flight manual page

If we carry out the installation, we offer you various options, please contact us for further information.

- Backrest with Integrated Headrest for Libelle & Standard Libelle
After many requests, we are proud to share the redesigned backrest for the Libelle with an integrated headrest. Either the Dragonfly or upholstery to match other upholstery is available, please specify your choice when ordering.
The integrated backrest with headrest can be folded forward during rigging, saving time and less handling. The headrest is narrow so the view to the rear is clearer and does not affect the position of your shoulders. It is also significantly stiffer, which is very comfortable for your back when flying. The “Sky Knapsack” can still be used.
Installation only takes a short time and does not require professional installation. Apart from tools, everything is included in the installation kit with instructions.The fibreglass finish has the retro fleck of the original glider and the custom dragonfly removable headrest cover is included.
