GLIDER MODEL
MANUFACTURED BY Wills Wing Inc.
All dimensions in inches; weights in pounds.
NOTE: These specifications are intended only as a guideline for determining whether a
given glider is a certified model and whether it is in the certified configuration.
Be aware, however, that no set of specifications, however detailed, can guarantee the
ability to determine whether a glider is the same model, or is in the same configuration as
was certified, or has those performance, stability, and structural characteristics required
by the certification standards. An owner's manual is required to be delivered with each
HGMA certified glider, and it is required that it contain additional airworthiness informa-
tion.
