Can anyone explain the difference between the Quintus and

polyhedral and different winglets.

Sure. Both are built by Lange in the Antares molds at ZWB;
this is a Lange-designed stretch of the Antares 20E wing.
Structurally the Quintus and Antares 23 are identical.
SH adds dihedral for the outer panel and changes from a
Boermanns winglet to a Maughmer winglet.
Apologies if I've misspelled both names...

Other differences inside inboard LE:
SH wing has a fuel tank (gas self-launch),
23E has batteries (electric self-launch),
23T has a 6th water tank (turbo fuel tank in fuse).

Contact me anytime to place your order,
