Wings

assortment (credit: Admin)
  • a large wing will be good in 10 to 18 knots and a smaller wing for higher winds
  • 1.5m2 separation is good for two wing quiver and 1m2 for 3 wings (e.g. 4m2, 5m2, 6m2)
    • Duotone Wing comments:
      • Slick is forward pulling and handles gusts well;
      • Unit has better low end and is upward lifting;
      • Slick has less span than the Unit in the same size
  • harness lines help manage large wings in gusts
  • low density, tropical, gusty winds require oversized gear compared to cooler climates
