Although Fizz is classified and confirmed DHV 3, it is easier to drive than the Kite which is an intermediate wing DHV2. Incredible performance for a kingposted glider. Very low sink rate, fantastic glide. The wing gives you a precise feeling of the surrounding air. Not hard to land, but requires a good approach because of the flat glide.

For 1998 the Zimmer brothers improved the topless Twister SPS with a revised system for controlling washout.

Regarded as a great glider, very solid and stable. Hard on hard conditions, but smooth on soft ones. Out of all topless gliders, this is one with the best /easiest handling. At takeoff, there is no slack in the side wires, a big advantage on a windy day without assistance. Control is effortless, without any delay, and well co-ordinated. There were some problems with batten tensioner.

There is a 13m version with less sail (unofficial and unapproved by Bautek), that were made to meet the demand for light pilots.

The Raptor is a rigid wing hang glider kit manufactured by Bailet’s Composites. The Raptor is a swept flying wing with tip rudders and was designed by Matt Kollman of Columbus, Ohio. Matt and Roy Bailets worked together on the Genesis sailplane where they met Jim Marske. Jim supplied the airfoil and ideas for the structure which Matt turned into the Raptor design. Roy Bailets was developing the tooling for kit production in Mojave, CA. The Raptor production prototype should have been flying the summer of 1997. Matt Bailets had been flying the prototype for about 3 years and had more than 70 hours flight time.
