Prices listed are manufacturer's posted Suggested Retail Price (excluding freight). See manufacturers' websites for exact specifications and what is included with each model.

** WillsWing purposely do not post Best Glide Speeds or Angles due to there being too many factors that can affect these numbers. They publish polars for you to make your own judgements and calculations.

*** if an older (pre 1995) glider isn't listed here, we deem it as non-aero-towable. Aero-towing is what 99% of our flying around here is and those are the only gliders we recommend flying here.
