The Mambo was designed for recreational flying. It is made from
aluminum tubing, with the double-surface wing covered in 4 oz
Dacron sailcloth. Its wing is
cable braced from a single
kingpost. The nose angle is 124° for all models and a
Mylarleading edge is optional.[1][3]
The models are each named for their wing area in square metres and decimals of square metres.[1]
