Woodstock on the 4th

Re: Woodstock on the 4th
4th of July!
Though, I did not go to Woodstock on the 4th, I went down to Lookout Mountain in GA for the Wills Wing Demo Days.
What was very interesting for me was to talk to Steve Pearson and had a chances to pick his brain for some time.
Of many topics, he told me that the WW Sport 2, 155 that I am flying, is perfect for me, despite only hooking in around 175-180 pound. (My weight is 155 pound). He confirmed that it will be more stable under towing and speed; but despite this the 155 would be perfect for 155, despite thinking I would be too light 155.
Did I say 155?
When it comes to the WW-U2 it is a different story.
Anyway, great place Lookout Mountain, but a long drive.

Re: Woodstock on the 4th
Knut,
I hook in at about 175 lbs and found the S2 155 to be quite nice. I've flown a few S2 135 and while flyable at 175 lbs hook in, it is not as pleasant as the 155 IHMO.
So do tell, why is the U2 a different story? I fly a the 145 and it fly's fine with a 175 lb hook in although I feel that it would fly a bit better a bit more heavily loaded.
Would love to get my hands on a T2C 136 and give it a try.

Re: Woodstock on the 4th
Thanks for the feedback!
I love my Wills Wing Sport 2 and it just such a good wing to fly in most conditions.
Though, I do feel I could need some more performance on windy days, like the smaller U2, which Steve said would be also perfect for me.
Yes, the T2/T2C is fantastic!
