Due to popular demand, Wills Wing is now offering a no extra cost option of a round speedbar basetube (see photo of hardware) on any Litestream control bar application (Sport 2, U2, Litestream equipped T2, or Falcon 3 accessory Litestream control bar kit). This option is to address the requests of pilots who prefer the grip of a round basetube for comfort reasons, and also for pilots who want to be able to mount larger diameter wheels on a Litestream control bar. (Pilots should expect approximately 1/2 point in degradation of L/D by going to the round basetube over the streamlined basetube.)

For pilots that wish to retrofit an existing glider, the retrofit will require the purchase of the round speedbar basetube, the basetube to bracket nuts, bolts and safety rings, and a pair of the Litestream to Round basetube end brackets at the normal parts prices ($213 retail, available through WW dealers).
