wills wing sport 3 vs u2

Prior to my purchase of the Wills Wing U2 160, I have amounted over 70 hours airtime; predominately on an AirBorne Sting 3:168 and prior to that, on an Aeros Target 16.

This review uses the AirBorne Sting 3 as the primary benchmark for comparisons. Sadly there aren't that many in Europe. Wills Wing have released the Sport 3 hang glider, which they say is significantly better in terms of both performance and handling than its predecessor. Whether you’re starting out in the sport, a casual recreational flyer, or a seasoned competition pilot, there is a Wills Wing glider to fit your style of flying and experience level. The attention to detail of the leading edge shape and contour is beautiful. Both gliders make my old S2 155 look like a jalopy. I might just drink the Moyes Kool-aid.Weight is an issue but the stated weight for the Gecko 155 is 65 lbs. I fly with the rope in my hand and frequently trim the sail for best balance of handling and performance that suits the conditions and my rather limited stamina. Optional extras include a UV laminate top surface and window bottom surface, and carbon-fibre raked tips which Wills Wing say increase the effective aspect ratio, reducing induced drag to further enhance low-speed performance.The Sport 3 is available in 135 and 155 sizes, for hook-in weights of 61-94kg and 68-113kg.Jonathan Dietch flies the Wills Wing Sport 3, a next-generation intermediate hang gliderMoyes are making their Gecko 155 hang glider in a smaller A-frame version, to make ground-handling easier for shorter pilotsThe Gecko was designed to bridge the gap between the beginners’ Malibu 2 and the more advanced Litesport in the Moyes range. The bar pressure at 50mph (80km/h) on the S3 was moderate and at 58mph on the S3 Race it was light. I think the VG on the Sport 3 will also help you continue to learn. Since 1994, the Falcon series of gliders have represented the most accessible, stress-free soaring performance available in hang gliding, and have helped to introduce an entire generation of new pilots to the sport. I cannot overstress just how easy, effective and broad the VG system is on both model S3s.Having over 1,200 hours on topless gliders, I was beyond impressed with the high-speed glide handling and performance on both model S3s. For agressive, competitive pilots who keep their skills sharp, toplesses are just fine. User mini profile. I bought a used one with maybe 50 hours, not aware of this problem. The Sport 3 has a black anodised airframe and hardware, speed battens, and a kickstand keel stinger. The fit and finish of every component was excellent. Although the gliders are similar, the S3 probably has more overall wing volume and is less rigid than the Gecko. This is the main forum. Get your AD on the #1 hang gliding website in the world. What are the major differences (performance) of a Wills Wing Sport 2 and A WW U2? I think the Gecko probably has a much thinner reflexed airfoil.

This easy and predictable handling enables the S3 to carry an intermediate pilot all the way into advanced XC flying or task racing if they choose to.Pilots who tend to leave their VG on one setting won’t be disappointed.
