Ever Flown This Wing?
If so, feel free to share anything you like about the experience here. What were your first impressions?
Please state your experience level, just to put your comments in perspective.
For example, you might be a low-time pilot flying a new wing for the first time and loving it!
Or perhaps you are an instructor, evaluating this wing on behalf of a student. In that case, many visitors here will be very interested in what you have to say!
