Aquila 2 wing

Postby Kingsteer » Sun Apr 17, 2011 9:32 am

I am upgrading to an Aquila 2 wing and have got many good pointers from my club from experienced guys etc. I am have hours and would like to know if anyone out there who flies the wing has any good advice you would like to share with me.

Cheers,

Flies leller, excellent lift, good speed, good in bumps - A great all rounder

nothing to know really, lands easily, stall is nothing dramatic

Cool wing (!!)

Morning,

Taken from Solowings website...

‘Aquilla II’
This 15sqm wing has beefed up flying cables & leading edge spars. It features back – up spreader bar cables, enclosed keel & washout tubes, which improves the glide angle. Its main characteristic is high lift airfoil, greater climb, light roll & pitch and a greater speed range. It is also easier to assemble.

What wing were you flying before :?:

I fly a Windlass 503 with an Aquilla 1 wing which compared to the Raptor 582 with Raptor wing handles turbulence very well and it stalls nicely...does not drop to the righ or left :lol: like the Raptor wing I did my training on...

I also found that it is very gentle and light in turns,so it does not need alot of input...Since the Aquilla II is an upgrade,I can only imagine it must be awesome :!: :!: :!:

Enjoy the wing,lots of flyinns coming up to test it :)
