Wills Wing Alpha
An easy to fly hang glider https://www.willswing.com/alpha/
The Alpha is a new model that looks and flies like a lower aspect
ratio Falcon (less wing span, more area), and is intended for flight schools and
for pilots who value light weight, convenience, slow flying and easy take-off
and landing above other performance attributes. The Alphas fly very slowly, and are very docile and easy in handling, take-off
and landing, and yet they have exceptionally good soaring performance better
in fact in very light lift and small thermals than a Falcon. Unlike the Condor,
the Alpha is a fully airworthy, utility class glider, and can be flown in any
reasonable flying conditions, and purchased by new students or experienced
pilots. The Alpha is a better first purchase glider for most new pilots than a
Falcon, and almost as easy for first training flights as a Condor. In some ways
the Alphas are easier for students than the Condor, because they are smaller
gliders, and therefore easier to ground handle if there is wind. The Alphas
launching speed is not quite as slow as the Condor 330, but it is noticeably
slower than a Falcon.
