L'aile sur la photo n'est pas un Mars 150 ; c'est quelque chose d'autre. Le Mars 150 avait une transversale flottante située au-dessus de la quille ; la photo montre une transversale fixe sous la quille.

I've got a bit of info for you on the Moyes Mars I currently have two of them that I'm teaching with... they're very nice learner gliders. (I've only just finished repairing the second one to flying condition). I can't find the manuals or specs for them online and I have to determine which size each one of mine is. Some things I've dug up so far... There seems to be a 150 model and a 170 I believe I have a 150, though I have to see if I can find a data plate. When I get the two together, I'll be able to determine if they're the same size or different. The Mars 170 has a maximum flying weight of 122 kg. Glider weight appears to be 22 kg. They are very lightweight gliders with docile handling (even for a single surface glider). They have locked crossbars, predating the floating crossbar, and need to be flat rigged because of this. The hang straps slide to the front of the keel when de-rigged and are held to the crossbar junction by a strap when rigged. Failure to connect this strap can prove fatal and is my only complaint with the glider.
