INTRODUCTION
BRISTELL NG 5 LSA
The BRISTEL LSA design with its three-wheel fixed undercarriage configuration is the right choice of airplane for use in flight schools, glider towing and recreational flying. Thanks to the combined comfort and good ergonomic design it represents the largest cockpit in its category, this plane is the ideal vehicle for longer cross-country flights. The BRISTELL performance wings make cross-country flights much safer in extreme weather conditions due to an increased crosswind component of 15 knots.
