Some comments from pilots who have flown the Sport M :
“…The Sport has the clean finish I expected of an Airwave product. the wing flies like a little Italian sports car, with more speed and energy through the turns than I have ever felt on a 1-2. If you ask it for a quick turn, you get it…
PERFORMANCE : Very good. With a trim speed of 37km/h and a competitive glide
… more performance, movement and energy than I expected for a DHV1-2…
the Sport will have you smiling all the way to a hundred k. For sheer flying enjoyment for the confident regular pilot, it is superb …
Bruce – having a ball on the new Sport – congratulations it’s a great wing.!

“…In the air, the Sport feels rock solid so even if the air is turbed, the ride is still very smooth. Turning was easy and intuitive. Turn initiation immediate. The wing feels very solid and retains its speed in turns…
…Overall, the wing really felt as a natural extension of myself with good energy retention and flow between maneuvers. I felt 100% re-assurance from the wing…. almost as if it was out there fun with me. …”

Well it looks like all I need is the money now. I plan to place my order with willswing next month. I want a red one with the yellow stripe. Nice sunset look from the underside and easy to see.
