Excerpt: The Moyes Litespeed is a series of Australian high-wing, single-place, hang gliders, designed and produced by Moyes Delta Gliders of Botany, New South Wales. The Litespeed series was designed as a top-level competition class glider. The entire family of gliders are "topless" designs, lacking a kingpost and upper rigging. The company also builds a derivative aircraft with a kingpost, the Litesport. The aircraft is made from aluminum tubing, with some models making extensive use of carbon fibre tubing. The wing is covered in Dacron sailcloth, with many models using Mylar reinforcing. Litespeeds have placed highly in world and national competition since their introduction. For instance at the Australian Forbes Odyssey competition in 2001, Gerolf Heinrischs won flying a Litespeed, Litespeeds took the first four places and eight of the top ten. At the Flytec 2002 Championships Litespeeds captured ten of the top 25 spots. At the 2003 World Hang Gliding Championships, held in Brasilia, Brazil, six of the top ten pilots flew Litespeed gliders. The Ceara Hang Gliding Race and Rally was an invitational event held between 3 7 September 2003 and took competitors across the Brazilian state of Ceara. Five of the top six places went to Litespeed pilots, including first place, which went to American Curt Warren. At the 2005 Flytec champsionships Litespeeds finished in five of the top ten places. At the 16th FAI World Hang Gliding Championship held in August 2007 at Big Spring, Texas, USA, Litespeeds captured the first three places and captured 17 out of the top 25 places. In the 2007 Rob Kells Memorial competition Litespeeds took second and third place as well as seven of the top 13 places. The 2008 World Hang Gliding Champion, Elio Cataldi won flying a Litespeed RS 4, as did fourth place finisher Filippo Oppicci. At the 2008 European Hang Gliding Championships held between 7 21 June the men's event was won by Elio Cataldi, with Tomas Weissenberger and Michael Friesenbichler second
