Wills Wing 1, 2, 3 at the Canoa Open
Each year the fishing village of Canoa, Ecuador hosts the drag race of all hang gliding competitions. Pilots average over 50mph on a technical out and return 30 mile ridge racing course. It’s the purest test of outright glider sink rate and performance. Wills Wing pilots Dustin Martin, Jeff Shapiro, and Jeff O’Brien placed first, second, and third on T2C’s.

Here’s an excerpt from Dustin’s WW Blog:

Both Shapiro’s and my glider seemed to handle just a touch too well to have real glide performance. That would be the first misconception shattered on the first practice day in Canoa….

Kraig Coomber came sporting Moyes’ latest offering, the same wing he won this year’s Santa Cruz Flats on. It would come down to raw glide at the course speed range, which is historically 55-90kph. I was confident but on my toes.

Day 1: After a little cloud play, the start time approached and after a furious dive to the first set of ridges south of the river, I found myself in pole position with Shapiro and OB right in line behind me. Kraig was nowhere to be seen and I smiled as I realized the fastest wingmen were with me. We flew a clean course finishing 1,2,3 and later I hung around at the finish line to time Kraig’s finish. We had him by a minute plus. Day one Wills.

Day 2: And the final race day saw more murky cloud play with the same furious approach to the compression but this time Kraig was in hot pursuit while I gained the lead again. The wingmen were on his tail and our positions wouldn’t change until near the last turnpoint where Kraig pushed harder than I thought wise out over town and I held back about 50 yards behind him. I resolved to snag the pylon cleaner than he would and with a little luck I pulled a cleaner turn and took the lead into the final 7km which would be impossible for him to reel back in. The big question was if OB’s solid close third behind Kraig would make up for his gap on the first day. None of us knew until the downloading was finished, but the shots were passed around when we learned it was Team Wills 1 – 2 – 3 baby!

The really satisfying feeling was knowing that the new glider development was going in the right direction. Shapiro’s and then my new glider handled progressively better and better than their predecessors and the performance likewise incrementally improved with each proto. My wing was truly a pleasure to fly all around.
Here’s an excerpt from OB’s WW blog:

Ahh Canoa… A thirty mile, forty minute, action packed race that contains all the best aspects of a five hour XC task.

Day one of the competition was called due to misty rain. We all free flew, and I took the pretend start with Alex Cuddy and Kraig Coomber on Litespeeds. I was able to stay ahead through the entire course, but how fast were they pushing?

Day two I found myself diving out of the clouds with Dustin at my side. Shapiro, and Kraig got the start a few seconds behind, and Kraig turned around to wait for the second start. Shapiro came charging after the first turnpoint and walked by me with our speed around 55mph. The race was on and it was obvious who had a performance advantage, Dustin and Shapiro. They were both flying T2C’s with new sail cuts and tweaks and I couldn’t match them on my glider (which is a year old) despite hooking in with ballast around 250lbs!

Dustin and Shapiro stayed stacked and I flew in a minute behind the boys across the line. Kraig flew solo and clean, but was still 10 seconds off my pace. The stage was set for the final showdown on the last day.

Day three’s task began with us all diving in unison out of the clouds toward the ridge. Dustin dove out to a lead, and Kraig passed me on the way to the turnpoint. Shapiro maintained his position patiently behind me, letting me run in clean air to hopefully catch Kraig. With Shapiro on my keel the entire time, it was a drag race to goal. I came across the line three seconds off Kraig’s keel cementing third place and a Wills Wing one, two, three.

Records Falling Like Leaves, with T2Cs
US pilots flying T2Cs have been pulling off some exceptional flights this season!

In July Larry Bunner flew his T2C 144 197 miles in Pennsylvania setting a site, state, and regional record.

In August Owen Morse set a Crestline site flex-wing record of 118 miles on his T2C 154

And in September Terry Presley became the first person to fly from Lookout Mountain Flight Park to Henson’s Gap Tennessee and back

Terry Presley, T2C, First Ever To Fly From LMFP to Henson’s Gap and Back
Terry Presley became the first person to fly from Lookout Mountain Flight Park to Henson’s Gap Tennessee and back Friday, September 4, 2009.

Jen Richards (www.hanglide.com) spent some time talking to Terry about his flight and his glider. Here’s her account of Terry’s flight:

It was a light wind day, but cloud base was only 5000 msl, or only about 3000 agl over the plateau. Ideally, cloud base would have been higher, but Terry had already decided that his goal for the day was to make it to Henson’s and back. So, with Eric Donaldson and Greg Heckman marking an area of broken lift, he launched off the mountain at 1:45 with high hopes.

Terry had to take a more southerly route to cross Sand Mountain than he generally prefers and almost clipped the corner of the Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia border. His preferred route would have been to cross a more northerly section of Sand Mountain with a lot more potential LZ’s.

With cloud base at only 3000 agl, he kept working between 2000-3000 agl under good clouds and over nice LZ’s until he crossed Nickajack Lake and entered into Sequatchie Valley. He flew up the eastern side of the valley over the plateau. About ten miles before Henson’s he crossed paths with Ollie Gregory and David Giles. Ollie and David were trying to do the reverse route in their ATOS rigid wings.

“We all thermalled up together and headed in opposite directions in our common quest,” Terry said. “We were all on the same frequency and wished each other good luck because we knew we would need it on a day like this.”

Terry later heard that Ollie and David were landing in Lookout Valley. James Stinnett had also launched from Henson’s and was about 10 miles from Terry, encouraging him on the radio.

It took Terry 2 hours to get to Henson’s.

When he arrived at Henson’s, it was not working very well. “At Henson’s I got way, way below launch,” Terry said.

“How low?” I asked.

“I don’t know, maybe 600 feet off the deck.”

After a couple of low saves and an hour of fighting to stay up, Terry was finally able to leave Henson’s and then it turned on again. Turned on may be a bit of an exaggeration. Terry’s best climbs of the day were only 600 fpm and he averaged only 300 fpm.

“I had basically flown up towards Henson’s at the edge of the plateau because that’s where the clouds were; on the east side of the Sequatchie Valley,” explained Terry. “It was the same coming back until I got to Inman Point. Then I committed to a route I wouldn’t normally have chosen.”

The chosen path was a direct route from Inman to LMFP. Terry picked this particular route back because cloud base had risen a bit but was still only about 4000-4500 feet over the plateau. This line isn’t normally chosen because it covers a lot of bad terrain. But, prior to the flight, fellow pilot Rich Annis had pointed out a couple of adequate LZ’s on top of Etna giving Terry a crutch.

Terry was also comfortable with this route because the clouds had been so consistent on his return trip and he only needed one climb to make it safely into Lookout Valley. Well, the clouds looked great and he got his climb, made it into Lookout Valley, and landed at LMFP at around 6:45 local time.

How did it feel? “Probably 20 minutes before I landed I knew I had it,” Terry explained. “But I hadn’t flown in a couple of months, so I was very tired after five hours.”

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of meeting Terry, he is a very humble, easy going man. One of the nicest people in hang gliding. Flying is just what he does. He has been an airline pilot for 26 years, has been flying hang gliders since 1972, and he is often seen in a Stearman, Fokker triplane or another light aircraft. In the hang gliding world, he is something of a legend (not that he would ever feel comfortable with that moniker). If you see Terry setting up, it’s a pretty good indication that you should do the same. When Terry launches, people follow. Terry started flying in competitions in 1994 and was on the World Team in 2001, but hung it up in 2006 because “the itch was scratched.”

Why had no one ever done this flight before? A 64-mile out and back is really nothing with today’s gliders.

“I just don’t know,” Terry said. “It’s really not that big of a deal. Now that it’s been done, I think its going to be done a lot more. People just aren’t geared for out and backs. We’re geared with straight line, down wind XC distance. Out and back is more challenging and is more difficult especially when you are going to a declared point.”

Was it the pilot and the glider? Terry’s been flying topless gliders for many years and thinks that the T2C is the cleanest glider that Wills has ever made. “They’ve listened to their newest group of hot factory pilots and have produced as aerodynamically clean of a glider as they possible could,” Terry said. “By far their best effort. The performance is really showing up from their attention to detail.”

All five US World team members this year are flying T2C’s.

According to Terry, the T2C is more well-balanced, has better spiral stability, handles better than any high performance glider he’s ever owned, and it lands easier. “For a topless glider it seems to land easier, seems to track straighter and has a bigger flare window,” he explained.

Many have tried, some have gotten close, but only Terry has made it. Congratulations Terry!

Owen Morse, T2C, sets new Crestline flex-wing site record – 118 miles
Owen Morse has been training with uncommon out and returns in the San Bernardino Mountains and recently set a Crestline site flexwing record of 118 miles on his T2C 154.

To the Crestline Soaring Society, Owen recently posted this blurb about his flight:

I don’t want to get too sentimental, but I must mention this here, because all of you will understand this more than anyone. In one of my last conversations with Rob Kells, I was telling him just how much I loved my T2C, and that I promised him I was going to go 100 miles from Crestline on it. He smiled and said, “Owen, I don’t doubt it!”

As I flew over Baker, at the 100 mile mark, I said out loud “That’s for you Rob.”
Congratulations on your recent exceptional flights Owen!

Daniel Velez writes:
The Colombian 2009 Hang Gliding Nationals ended last week. I managed to win them by a little more than 1000 points over the second pilot, after 5 beautiful tasks and a 6th “gliding” task on a bad weather day. I won 5 out of the 6 tasks, and the other one was also won by a Wills Wing T2 glider.
With this time, I’ve managed to win 6 times the Colombian Nationals, and I´m very happy, and I have to confess that the Wills Wing T2C glider has made things easier…

Flying the Wills Wing U2 160 – Easy for a lightweight
Davis Staub has a blog entry: Flying the Wills Wing U2 160 – Easy for a lightweight, where he says:
I got the opportunity to fly the 160 in weak and strong conditions, with strong and light winds in Zapata and I found it a joy to fly. I had absolutely no problem handling the glider in the air and on the ground. It was light on the ground and light in the air.

Dustin Martin Flies T2C for 100 km Triangle Record
On July 28th, Davis Straub reported that Dustin completed an FAI 100km triangle at the Zapata World Record Encampment in record time, averaging almost 50 kph. Dustin emailed, “4m/s thermals avg with 2 thermals of 5 m/s. 23kph south wind increased to 30 on the second leg, then the sea breeze caught me 5km before the last turn but on the last leg it provided a 50km tailwind high and 30km down low for a finish with ground speeds over 140kph on a lot of the final. B.J. Herring challenged me to a duel – that’s the only reason I did it, but luckily I got something out of Zapata this year!

Olav Lien Olsen Wins 2009 Norwegian Nationals with T2C 154
Olav writes:
Hi,
I’ll just want to tell you that I’m satisfied with my T2C 154. My body weight is now 75kg so I use an additional chute in my Rotor harness as ballast. I have done nothing with the factory settings. The handling is good and the landing goes well. So I feel relaxed while flying and with the good performance I was able to win the Norwegian Nationals 2009 (Vaagaa Open).
Keep on the good working Steve!
Best Regards
Olav

Larry Bunner Flies His T2C 197 Miles

Larry Bunner flew his T2C 144 197 miles in Pennsylvania setting a site, state, and regional record. In aggressive style, he flew without retrieve and relied on his devoted wife (and driver) Sue, for her support. Here’s a summary of his account:

A number of people have asked me why I switched back to a flexie after flying an rigid wing for several years. The best comparison I can come up with is that flying the T2C is like driving a sports car in contrast to a 4 door Mercedes. On July 7th I got to put the sports car to the test and flew from The Pulpit in central Pennsylvania and flew east across Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey landing just short of my goal (Cedar Bonnet Island) for a 197 mile flight. This is the new record for The Pulpit, Pennsylvania, Region IX and all of the Northeast.

I left the house early. All the way over I reviewed in my mind how to approach the day. I had no driver and didn’t know if any other pilots would show up so kept telling myself that safety was priority one. At the Pulpit around 10:30, conditions on launch were sweet with lulls coming in around 10 mph. I was ready to go shortly before noon and checked conditions again. They had ramped up slightly but still lulled around 10 mph .There was no way I could control the glider and shuffle down between the ramps to the launch zone so I scooted back down the hill to the set up area, unclipped and tied the glider down. Just as I was ready to go out to the tavern to recruit some help, two paraglider pilots showed up. Michael and Martin “volunteered” to help me launch and I quickly suited up again. This time things were more manageable and I punched off around 12:30 (thanks Michael and Martin for your patience). I played around on the ridge for 20 minutes working small bubbles trying to get up under the clouds as they passed over the mountain before I hit a good thermal and rode it to 4700′. I knew from previous flights that more altitude was required to get a good start so headed WSW back to the ridge to another cloud coming over. The lift was there and I went over the back at 6000′ in a good street. Two miles later at 6100′ the next thermal took me to 6800′ and then after another mile tanked back up to 6500′ before a long glide to Marion just south of Chambersburg. My track was taking me toward Mount Alto which I believed at the time was pushing me too close toward High Rock so I headed northeast to another line of clouds to get back on track. Unfortunately the sink was killer while chasing the closest cloud. Down to 1600′ (800′ agl) it was do or land time; a gnarly, ratty thermal presented itself and I dove into it with the mindset of a buck in rut. I rode it halfway across the Michaux before heading out at 6400′. Again a buoyant line got me to 6600′ at the exit of the Michaux and on glide to Gettysburg. Good clouds were off to the northeast so I connected with them and left toward Hanover at 6300′. So far every cloud was working and I was able to stay high. The cloud spacing was tight about every 2-3 miles and the winds aloft were 20+. At Hanover the best thermal of the day took me to the highest altitude at 7200′. It was a 15 mile glide just past Shrewsbury where I got back up over 6000′. Ten miles later I was down to 3800′ just northeast of Fawn Grove before finding good lift to 6000′ and two miles later I thermaled up just south of the Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (I retired from there 7 days earlier). The lift by now had softened considerably and the clouds were drying up. I changed tactics and headed for wispies rather than mature clouds as I noticed the mature ones would die by the time I got to them. I also looked at my distance and was surprised to see 100 miles on the odometer just 3 hours after leaving the mountain. There was still a good probability of reaching the coast. Off in the distance I could see a strong convergence line running north to south where the cumulus were robust. This line was the ticket to make it happen. Continuing downwind, I picked a bad line and got down to 2500′ five miles from the Delaware River before digging out in a thermal that turned on to an average 400 fpm to 6000′. The crossing was not of consequence and I continued on toward Husted. I glided down to 4000′ and for the next 15 miles I dribbled along between 3000 and 4000′ before finally latching on to a weak climb that took me over 5000′. I was now under the convergence and although I wasn’t climbing I flew the next 15 miles in just over 30 minutes and only lost 1500′. Unfortunately I was headed for the Pine Barrens which is really no man’s land for a hang glider; twenty five miles of mostly unlandable terrain and the areas that are landable are so remote that it would take a long time to get out of there (check it out on google earth and you will see what I mean). I was down to 3500′ at Hammonton on the edge of the Pine Barrens chasing a cloud and made my mind up to fly a couple more miles catch the lift and if not then head back to Hammonton to land at the airport. I missed the climb and turned around. The wind was still stiff at 20+ mph and my progress was slow however 1/2 mile upwind I found some light lift that eventually turned into 300 fpm. I took this to 6400′ and headed on glide. Down to 5300′ I hit some 100 up but could see a cloud down wind that appeared to be building. Half way across the Pine Barrens I could see clouds forming over 1000′ below me a good indication that I was overflying the convergence. By now my deck showed that I had Cedar Bonnet Island by a few hundred feet. I was getting 20+:1 glide but felt one more climb would be needed to get me to the beach and then back to the landing field. The closer I got however the more concerned I became. There were absolutely no other landing options within 5 miles of the island, it was all water and trees. I passed over the Eagle’s Nest airport and out to the edge of the water still searching and envisioned the head line in the local paper, “Hang Glider flies 200 miles but drowns in bay” only I wouldn’t be around to read it! Finally I headed back toward the airport into a stiff 15 mph WNW breeze all the way down to 500′ where the wind turned east. Good thing there was a sock at the airport! I came in hot and had a no stepper. I landed at 6:48, 6 hours and 18 minutes and 197 miles from the Pulpit. Wooohooo!

The adventure now really began. I called Sue to share the good news and the bad (I needed her to come pick me up). I walked carrying my harness 5 miles to town the whole time about to be carried aloft by a horde of hungry mosquitoes. I found an ice cream parlor and struck up a conversation with a couple patrons who offered to take me to a bar and grill. I closed this place down after a fine burger and three Captain and diets. The manager gave me a ride to another establishment that didn’t close until 2:00 where I imbibed some more. Sue showed up at midnight at which time I was not legal to drive. I asked her to let me get 20 minutes of shut eye then I’d drive the rest of the way. The next thing I knew we were pulling into our driveway at 2:00. We agreed to get up early so we could go retrieve the truck and we hit the road the next morning at 6:00, I picked up the truck and drove to Cedar Bonnet to get the glider. I finally returned home at 3:30 that afternoon. I did talk to some locals at the airport about my intent to land on Cedar Bonnet Island and they informed me that there really is no dry place to land on the island.

New Litestream Compatible Round Speedbar Basetube
We are now offering the option of a round speedbar basetube 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 pilots who want to be able to mount larger diameter wheels on a Litestream control bar. The photo shows the Litestream round speedbar mounted to a Sport 2, with Hall Wheels (not included) installed. We will soon have available VG compatible hubs for the larger 8 inch diameter Finsterwalder pneumatic wheels that will also allow them to be mounted on the Litestream round speedbar on any VG equipped glider. (The Finsterwalder wheels as currently available with the normal hubs can be mounted on the Litestream round speedbar when used on a Falcon 3, where there is no VG involved.)

Pilots should expect approximately 1/2 point in degradation of L/D by going to the round basetube over the streamlined basetube. The Litestream compatible round speedbar is a no extra cost option when requested on any new glider order, or on any Falcon 3 accessory Litestream control bar kit. For pilots that wish to retrofit an existing glider, the retrofit will require the purchase of the round speedbar basetube with end brackets, nuts and bolts at the normal parts prices ($213 retail), available through any Wills Wing dealer.
