Wills Wing Sport 3 Race
-
The Wills Wing Sport 3 Race is a high-performance evolution of one of the most trusted intermediate hang gliders on the market, designed for pilots who want speed, precision, and confidence in a wide range of conditions.
Building on the proven handling of the Sport 3 platform, the Race version introduces a refined sail cut and tuned aerodynamic profile that delivers noticeably improved glide performance and enhanced top-end speed, while still maintaining the forgiving, pilot-friendly characteristics the series is known for. It strikes a rare balance between accessible handling and competitive cross-country capability, making it equally at home on relaxed coastal soaring days or ambitious XC tasks.
Roll response is smooth and predictable, with a solid, stable feel through the bar that inspires confidence when transitioning between thermals or flying in stronger air. The glider’s refined sail tension and optimized washout configuration contribute to excellent pitch stability, reducing pilot workload on longer flights and allowing you to focus more on strategy and air reading.
Despite its performance gains, the Sport 3 Race remains remarkably easy to launch, land, and transport, making it an ideal step-up wing for pilots moving beyond entry-level gliders, as well as experienced pilots seeking a dependable all-rounder with extra performance in reserve.
Whether you're building airtime, pushing distance, or simply looking for a refined, modern wing with a competitive edge, the Sport 3 Race delivers a confident, efficient, and deeply enjoyable flying experience.
