BB Microlight works closely with their US distributor, Manta Aircraft, to develop products. In the US their carriages are usually fitted with Manta RST wings in place of the BB supplied wings used in European sales.

Much of the company design work is done in consultation with Hungarian competition pilots with the aim of producing competition aircraft.[2]
