The Sport series of gliders from Wills Wing has always defined what a sport class, recreational high-performance glider should be. The Sport 3 brings that heritage to its highest level.
The most significant aerodynamic revisions to the Sport 3 are a redesigned sail and stability system that together provide for a tighter-flatter sail and allow for lower sprog settings. This lower twist sail both significantly improves high speed performance and reduces pitch pressures at high speed. These changes also contribute to improved handling across the speed range and range of VG adjustment. The Sport 3 can also be configured with carbon fiber raked tips that increase the effective aspect ratio, reducing induced drag to further enhance low speed performance.
The Sport 3 airframe introduces new tuning options to more effectively optimize the control and handling characteristics for a wider range of sail configurations and pilot preferences. Now it’s easier than ever to tighten an older sail or loosen a crisp new wing. The Variable Geometry System has also been redesigned to be more effective and easier to pull. A Kickstand Stinger is also included to make setup and breakdown even easier.
The black anodized airframe and speed battens were options on the Sport 2, but are now included as standard on the Sport 3. Customer choice of colors, also an option on the Sport 2 is included for all panels on the Sport 3 for the 3 Panel bottom surface and for the Window Bottom surface with a Dacron Window panel (panel 6). There is an extra charge for the special T3 type WOOSH “W” bottom surface pattern. There is an extra charge for the special “Monarch” bottom surface pattern.
