Mariner Aircraft Mariner
In 1989 designer and manufacturer Larry Seifert introduced the Mariner. The Mariner is a two-place tandem seating amphibious bi-plane. It was being offered in kit form, which would take the average builder between 300 and 600 hours to build, and required no special tools, or jigging. It was also offered as a ready to fly plane under the new Light Sport Aircraft category.
The Mariner is set up to take a number of different engines, from the Rotax 503 and 582 on up to the Subaru auto conversion. Depending on engine power cruise comes in between 55 and 75 mph, top speed 95 mph, climb rate 1,000 feet per minute and stall 28 mph. Take off from land or water requires 150 to 200 feet.

MAPO
Russia
Voenno-Promyshlennyi Komplex Moscow Aviation Production Organization can trace its lineage to 1893 and the original factory in Moscow. Constructed French Nieuports and Farmans during First World War, and in 1918 was named State Aircraft Works No. 1. Retitled MAPO in 1991 and in 1996 became MIG “MAPO” (Military Industrial Group ‘MAPO’) as state-owned concern comprising MAPO “MiG” (see Mikoyan and Gurevich), Kamov and several other important Russian aviation-related companies and organizations.
In 1997 Myasishchev Design Bureau was added, giving rise to MIG “MAPO-M” title. In addition to combat aircraft production and development of transports, also manufactures smaller civil aircraft such as Aviatika-890, T-101 Grach, I-1L, and IL-103 for others, plus maintenance and servicing.
Manta Pegasus
The Pegasus is a high performance truncated-tip Rogallo that can be handled by intermediate level pilots. It features high penetration and quick roll response yet has a gentle stall. Its sail is cambered, roached, and truncated with pockets of pre-formed ribs, applied leading edge pockets and applied keel pocket. The high aspect ratio and generously cambered sail give both low minimum sik and high L/D.
The control bar is fully adjustable for prone or swing seat flying, folds down easily for carrying, has neoprene cushioning and optional wheel assembly. The Pegasus also features adjustable keel reflex, optional take down to 6 ft 6 in, and no tool set-up or take-down.
The airframe is made from 6061-T6 1.in x .049 anodised aluminium tubing with hardwood dowels and with bushings. Rigging cable is 3/32in 7×7 stainless steel with snap-on cable cover optional. The cabling is double swagged at every connection point.
All bolts are AN os MS quality, self-locking nuts. Stainless steel noseplate, tangs and thimbles. The sail is made from 3.8oz stabilised dacron, double zig-zag stitching, reinforced at stress points, spar-flex compensation for clean inflight shape, perpendicular-sewn seams for dimensional stability, and was available in 10 colours.
The Pegasus came with a flying seat with individual leg straps, or optional harness.

All bolts are AN or MS quality, and are self-locking nuts. Noseplate, tangs and thimbles are stainless steel.
The control bar is fully adjustable for seated flying with individual leg straps, or the optional prone harness. The control bar folds down, has neoprene cushioning and optional whee assembly. It also featured adjustable keel reflex, optional take-down to 6 ft 6 in, and a no-tool set-up or take-down.
Manufactured by Manta Products and, with slightly different materials and construction, by Flight Realities, the Windlord III is a higher performance Rogallo. It has an increased glide ratio, penetration, positive control response and higher speed for maximum glide, making it easy to handle in higher winds and turbulence as well as marginal soaring conditions.
As with the Windlord I, the airframe is made from 6061-T6 1.5in x .049 anodised aluminium tubing with hardwood dowels and with bushings. Rigging cable is 3/32in 7×7 stainless steel with snap-on cable cover optional. The cable is double swagged at every connection point.

Manta 80
The Manta 80S is a standard Rogallo developed for beginning through advanced pilots. It is stable, predicable, and responsive when tracking or turning. The 80˚ nose angle gives high penetration qualities and wide speed range.
The 80S airframe is of 6061-T6 1.5 x .049 in anodised aluminium tubing with hardwood dowels and bushings. Cables were 3/32in 7×7 stainless steel with snap-on cable covers optional. The cables were double swaged at every connection. All bolts are AN or MS quality, nuts are self-locking, and noseplate, tangs and thimbles are stainless steel.
The 80S sail is 3.8 oz stabilised dacron, double zig-zag stitched, reinforced at stress points, with spar-flex compensation for clean inflight shape and perpendicular-sewn seams for dimensional stability. It was available in 10 colours.
The 80S came with a flying seat with individual leg straps or optional prone harness. The control bars is fully adjustable for prone or swing seat, folds down for carrying, has neoprene cushioning and optional wheel assembly. The 80S also features adjustable keel reflex and optional take down to 6 ft 6 in.
The Manta 80SK has a slightly shorter keel than the Manta 80 for a moderate performance gain and increased handling sensitivity. It has the same penetration stability and maneuverability characteristics as the Standard. The shorter keel relieves parasitic drag, improves speed and ncreases pitch response.
The Manta 80SK control bar is fully adjustable for prone or swing seat flying, folds down for transport, has neoprene cushioning and optional wheel assembly. They also featured adjustable keel reflex and optional take down to 6 ft 6 in, requiring no tools.
The airframe is of 6061-T6 1.5in x .049 anodised aluminium with hardwood dowels and bushings. The cables are 3 3/32 7×7 stainless steel with snap on cable covers optional. Double swagged at every connection point.
All bolts are AN or MS quality, with self-locking nuts, stainless steel noseplate, tangs and thimbles.
The sail is 3.8oz stabilised dacron, double zig-zag stitched, reinforced at stress points, with spar flex compensation for clean inflight shape and perpendicular sewn seams for dimensional stability.
The Manta 80SK2 was designed for intermediate pilots ready to advance to a higher performing glider. Its shortened keel increased the aspect ratio, improved pitch response and reduced parasitic drag. The 80SK2 has an increased speed range and greater maneuverability.
The control bar is fully adjustable for prone or swing seat flying, folds down for easy carrying, has neoprene cushioning and optional wheel assembly. It also features adjustable keel reflex, optional take-down to 6 ft 6 in, and no tool set-up or take-down.
