On either side the wing ends in a stabilizer or wing tip, which provides straight-line (Yaw) stability and produces some outward lift to keep the span-wise tension. The front part of the rib employs APCO's FLEXON batten system to keep the leading edge shaped at high speeds and in turbulent air. The FLEXON battens also improve the performance and the launch characteristics of the glider. -
