Assisted by a UK Government grant, Mike designed the Reflex with a pitch-positive section which can be trimmed in flight to give efficiency at high speeds, or extra control at low speeds. It is primarily for powered flight. When trimmed for speed the effective chord and lifting area are reduced 30%.
