hey your flying my glider haha... nice video.

Thank you for your nice comment. This video makes it seem like I'm flying with your glider. The sail colors are coincidentally the same, but yours is a U2C and mine is an S2C. Let's continue to enjoy flying together. I'm looking forward to the video.

Nice video! What glider is it and how old is the sail? I noticed some trailing-edge flutter when you flew a bit faster.

Thank you for your comment. As you pointed out, it is an old glider, about 7 years old. It is a Wills Wing Sport 2C glider. I put speed battens on the trailing edge of the sail to prevent flapping. www.opa.co.jp/hangglider/wills-wing-speed-battens/ (Japanese version) I am flying at a speed of about 60km and planning the landing course. The sail is stretching, but the parts without the speed battens are flapping. I would like to replace the sail or install speed battens in all parts.

@@skylinecityhiacesurf the sail is relatively fine at low speeds. If you do not plan to fly serious competition, I think you can keep the sail a few more years. That's what I would do.

@@safurian I will not participate in competitions. I am a Sunday flyer. When landing, flutter occurs when accelerating with VG OFF, but does not occur in neutral during normal flight. I will enjoy it in these conditions for the time being. Thank you for your advice.
