In Switzerland, on 28 August 1910, Armand Dufaux flew 80 km over the Lake of Geneva in the aircraft built by his brother Henri and himself.
The Dufaux brothers of Switzerland built an unmanned 23 kg “proof-of-concept” scale model, powered by 3.1 hp motorcycle engine. It was flown as a kite in 1905 and led to a full-scale tilt-rotor machine that was tested in 1909.



This is a versatile wing in smooth winds of 25-45km/hr. Trimmed slow its a high wind soaring & strong day thermalling wing. Trimmers off it’s a fast speedflyer.

This wing and its performance, safety & quality is completely proven. Full strength materials – 6g tested to 110kgs.

Three sizes were available, brand new in 2012 $2490

After successful experiments with Action and Reaction models, Piotr Dudek committed to a model that would allow pilots of any level security and efficiency with a simple classic.
The reflex profile has max speed of 61 km/h and trim speeds of 37-49 kph.
It is also suitable for training.

Based on the same proven reflex-wing concept of the popular PPG wing Action (from Dudek and Paramania), the ReAction is a technically improved and graphically renewed version aimed at advanced pilots. In comparison to its predecessor, the ReAction is a bit faster, inflates easier and has improved wing durability and ease of use. Like its ancestor, the Reaction features a self-stabilizing wing section that, in the case of a decrease in its angle of attack, automatically responds to compensate. “In other words it always stays neutral with regard to its load, so it’s tuck-resistant. The risers now have two suspension points (low and high) to adjust to the pilot’s harness/engine setup, and come with new trimmer buckles and exchangeable trimmer tapes. It has partially closed leading edge with 65 cells, an aspect ratio of 5,43, and top speed is 60 k/h, with 42-46 k/h trim speed, according to Dudek. It is also available in an ‘S’ version, equipped with non-sheathed lines in the upper rigging, and a trike version called “Reaction Cabrio” for a weight range of 150 to 300 kg. For foot-launch flight there are 4 sizes to choose from.

After research ReAction was improved, so to distinguish it from the original, Dudek changed both name and logo of the wing to a Reaction TST.
ReAction TST features our Tip Steering Toggles system, designed to facilitate high speed flying. The risers have been modified and a scheme of split A’s was introduced, so that smooth inflation can be obtained much easier. Previous arrangement sometimes caused the wingtips to shoot up earlier than the centre, but now the margin for pilot error has been considerably widened.

The most significant changes in the Reaction TST are:
