The Quest GT wing has been improved again! Stronger leading edges, stronger cross-spar, increased load rating to 1060 lbs!
The beautiful strutted Quest GT5 and GT6 is designed for two place light sport aircraft with a gross load rating of 1060 lbs.
The Quest GT5 is designed for our Scout XC Apache, Scout XC Navajo, Sport X2 Apache, and Sport X2 Navajo light sport aircraft. You can also attach the Quest GT5 wing to your light sport aircraft using our Universal Mount. When you want to get somewhere fast, this is your wing! The Quest GT5 and GT4 wings can be improved even more with the optional Vortex Generators Kit.
As a descendent of the Contour wing, the Quest's ability to fly cross-country and handle turbulence well has been improved.
All this is possible because of eighteen months of design research, resulting in an unmatched speed and handling combination!
It is very important to us to offer you the best wing we can make. We could use tubing that costs less, but we choose to have our own tubing produced for specific main spars. We also could buy cheaper sail cloth; again, we choose to purchase the best.
We use all aircraft hardware and materials tested to required aircraft strength.
Speed references on flex wings are +/- 10%
The Quest GT5 is a highly refined, strutted wing capable of a 45 mph range of speed from stall to top speed. One of the most impressive achievements in the Quest GT5 is the light handling both in pitch and roll.

Notes from a new QUEST GT6 pilot...
"Oh my Gosh.... This is a beautiful wing, on the ground and in the air. I'm glad I talked to you about this wing.
It took me a little while to put it together. Had a devil of a time getting those yellow end straps on leading edge ends. But I figured it out. And oh my gosh, there are a lot of battens... almost an hour to get them all in. Its a beautiful wing, nice and tight, structure is amazing it just looks so robust.
I had a beautiful no wind morning for my test flight. It flies straight and level. I climb out at about 60. It does take a little more runway. I flew a couple miles from the airport and practice stalls, it was actually not easy to stall, just under 40mph indicated. Did some steep and shallow turns.
One of the amazing aspects of this wing, the control. Its light on the fingers. I pulled it in and was at seventy , I was only holding it in about 1 1/2". Could hold it all day long. I pulled it a little more and I was at 80mph. Its very responsive going up and down. Turning left and right seemed about the same as the older wing. I did a couple of landings and adjusted the wing 1/2". Now the bar is where I like it. Thank you for everything, hope all is well." - Everett
Notes from a new QUEST GT5 pilot...
"Hi Kamron, I just wanted to take a moment and let you know that I got the chance to fly my brand new 13.5 meter North Wing Quest GT5 wing for the first time yesterday and was thoroughly and completely impressed with its beautiful handling and performance. And when I also consider the the overall build quality of this new wing, from the beautifully designed and flawlessly made wing hardware, to the high quality crafting & sewing of the sail, it comes to mind that you have produced a truly world-class wing that you and your company should be proud of. Thanks so very much for your efforts with the Quest GT5 and congratulations!" - Sincerely Yours, Joe Swift Thanks to Joe Swift for sending us this picture of his aircraft!
Notes from a QUEST GT5 pilot...
"Hello Kamron, Got the "Vortex" kit on. This wing is without any doubt the best wing I have ever flown. I have a friend with an Airborne 912 sporting a Streak wing that is also 13.5 meter. We went out flying late Thursday afternoon and he was calling me every few minutes about the turbulence, I felt a few gentle one's with an occasional bounce. Thanks for the great wing. Fred Thanks to Fred Waller for sending us this picture of his aircraft!
