Wills Wing Closing Down

Yes it is true. Moving to Mexico.

48 years, "Nothing last forever" Wills Wing

[Danny Brotto]

Below copied from the UK Hang Gliding group:

"Do not panic people! Wills Wing are not vanishing! They are simply moving production from California (one of the most expensive places on the planet to live and run a business) to Mexico (to a location that is mega for HG). To do this they are making a change of organisation but a number of the existing people are staying on board including chief designer Steven Pearson.
We will still be dealing and selling Wills Wings great line up of gliders and equipment and spares supply will not be an issue.
There will be a slight production delay for gliders which will hopefully be done by the time the season ramps up next year.
If you wanted a new Wills glider for this season you had already missed the boat anyway due to normal production lead times. Unless you know a dealer with a brand new Sport 3 in stock that is.
This change WILL be positive for both Wills Wing and for HG as a whole. Wills have some interesting projects on-the-go developing new products that are still going ahead full-steam with the move to Mexico."

So Wills continues to exist with production moving to what is being reported as Valle de Bravo, Mexico.

More news to come, I'm sure.

Amgios,

Dado que México realmente no tiene reglas de responsabilidad como EE. UU., MAY BE WW podría alquilar planeadores para aquellos que quieran volar en Valle del Bravo.

El alquiler de planeadores en EE. UU. Es complicado debido a la responsabilidad.
