Smooth Performance, Advanced Design
The Sport 3 builds on decades of refinement within the iconic Wills Wing Sport series.
Designed for recreational pilots who want accessible, stress-free performance with genuine high-end capability, it delivers a smooth, responsive flight experience with confident handling across the full speed range. It remains the lightest, easiest-to-fly, and most affordable glider in its class, offering dependable soaring with a modern edge.
With a redesigned sail, updated handling characteristics, and optional aerodynamic enhancements, the Sport 3 brings a fresh level of efficiency and control to a proven platform. Its refined airframe, simplified setup, and expanded personalization options give pilots a glider that feels immediately familiar yet unmistakably advanced.
The Sport 3 is offered in three sizes, each tuned to deliver balanced handling and efficient performance across a specific pilot weight range:
- 135 ft²: A smaller wing, ideal for lighter pilots seeking nimble handling and responsive performance.
- 155 ft²: A versatile mid-size wing, designed for average pilot weights with balanced handling and efficiency.
- 170 ft²: The largest option, offering greater lift and stability for heavier pilots.
