Takoo 6: WINGS FOR TWO
Fixings for take off
Possibility of fixing the wing to the ground with metal hooks that are anchored to the canopy. Particularly useful on steep take-offs, snowy terrain or slippery surfaces.
Material mix
Different materials have been combined to balance the glider’s durability and strength, without compromising its lightness. Dokdo 40 and 36 g has been applied to the top surface to make it more robust, and the lower surface has been designed with Dokdo 32 g. The ribs are a combination of Dokdo 40 and 32g. All lines are sheathed for durability and performance.
Stable and comfortable
It has a high pitch stability and the feedback from the wing to the passenger has been reduced to ensure total comfort. The aerofoil is very stable, which helps to reduce turbulence in flight and maintain a constant speed. Passenger and pilot will enjoy much more comfortable and safer flights.
Launch and land easily
The Takoo 6 is characterised by an exceptional progressive inflation and launch, with an immediate load take up, making take offs easy for any type of passenger.
Landing has been improved and it has excellent speed retention.
Excellent manoeuvrability
Flying is more intuitive, comfortable, and easier. Perfect for finishing your day without getting tired.
Braking efficiency has been optimised, reducing pressure on the controls to improve turning, making it more direct, lighter and with less travel.
Target
Commercial tandem flights
The Takoo 6 is a tandem wing designed to meet the needs of the most demanding professional pilots. It is an ideal working companion for pilots due to its durability and comfort in all situations. It suits any type of passenger, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience for both.
It is the perfect wing for our Sherlock and Watson 2 tandem harnesses and the Koli Pro rucksack.

Niviuk Technologies
Trimmers on the controls
The Takoo's controls allow a wide range of speeds thanks to the trimmers. We have identified the trimmer positions with colours to make them easier to use: the neutral position, coloured green, is ideal for launch and for flying in thermals. When you open the trimmers, speed increases. The red marks indicate the different acceleration positions and help to locate the trimmer position. With the trimmers closed (pulling the trimmer all the way down) the sink rate is improved and the pressure on the controls is reduced if flying with a high load.
Improved DRS integration
The mini-ribs are integrated directly into the trailing edge, with special slots to incorporate them into the seam. This results in a cleaner profile, eliminating external seams and protecting them from wear and tear when in contact with the ground.
Robust internal structure
With RSD technology we have optimised the internal structure. The orientation of the diagonals and the arrangement of the attachment points make the wing stronger and reduce tension on the cloth.
Efficient big ears
Thanks to the ELS (Ear Lock System) technology, big ears can be pulled to two positions (small or large ears). It is much easier and quicker to pull and release big ears to control the descent. The pilot can still use the brakes to steer the glider.
Leading edge optimisation
The leading edge finish is impeccable. Thanks to 3DL, 3DP and SLE technologies, the leading edge is clean, crease-free and durable.
