A última evolução da terceira e nova geração da Moyes Litespeed é a Moyes Litespeed RS.
Esta asa foi projetada especificamente para competição e oferece um alongamento maior em sua superfície (Aspect Ratio), o que proporciona um maior planeio e subida.
A Litespeed RS incorpora um avançado projeto de velame resultando em um comando macio,com máxima segurança e facilidade, decolando, pousando e subindo de uma maneira prazerosa. O que é carecterística peculiar das asas Moyes.

* Glider Weight is measured from the standard glider. Some options will decrease glider weight by up to nearly 3kgs.
** Quoted Centre of Gravity measurement is for Mylar sails.
*** Measured at Optimal Pilot Weight
Features
* Light predictable handling for easy control in heavy Traffic.
* Reduced airframe weight.
* A tight wrinkle free sail with minium twist providing superior glide performance.
* Improved pitch stability and tumble resistance providing uncompromised safety.
* A spar utilising pre-impregnated carbon fibre to ensure the best possible strength and structural consistency.
Polar
The below data represents the approximate polar setting for various Litespeed RS's.

Minimum Sink Point:
|
|
-0.9m/s @ 40km/h |
| High Speed Point: |
|
-2.5m/s @ 80km/h |
These numbers are for a clean harness… if your harness is boxy, add 0.2m/s to the sink rate at high speed.
