Wills Wing offers a wide range of control bar configurations, each designed to provide the optimum balance of performance, economy and ease of use appropriate for a given glider model and its intended use. This page contains complete information on the available Wills Wing control bar designs, their relative performance, and their applicability to various glider models.

The illustration of the control bar section (Fig. 1) summarizes the significant differences in effective drag area (= performance) and geometry between the older AT style airfoil downtubes and the new Slipstream and Litestream sections. The performance comparison graph (Fig. 2) shows the relative L/D performance of the three types of control bars (mounted on a Talon) at various speeds (in mph).
