Wills Wing Start Up

First new glider from Valle

What a big and historic week it's been! You may have seen our update on Instagram/Facebook, that we completed our first sail this week from the new Wills Wing factory and Rudy test flew it yesterday with great success! This beautiful Falcon 4-170 came out perfectly – flawless performance, straight flying, and no flutter in the sail, whatsoever. We are so proud of this important milestone and wanted to share the good news. This glider is the first of many, many more to come.

When we last emailed in October, we had just completed the move of all machines, equipment and inventory and were working hard to get everything set up. Since then, a lot has happened. Steve traveled down to Valle to begin formal staff training, equipment testing, and demo assemblies.

Electricity for the building came about two months later than promised by the electric company, but the team made do with a generator and we're happy to report that the factory is now up and running with full interconnection and power.

We also just received word from our tubing supplier that they are ready to ship now – a full month ahead of schedule! We've ordered enough tubing to make gliders through all of 2022. We've also begun cutting downtubes and preparing our inventory of spare parts for distribution to our dealers.

Regarding orders – as promised – we are ready to share a simple process to submit your order requests! A few things to note about this:

Booking Requests need to be submitted through our Wills Wing dealers, so if you are a customer, please contact a dealer and ask them to submit your order through this form.

When we are ready to process the request and turn it into a formal booking, we will reach out to collect additional details for the order.

This request form is intentionally simple – it's meant to move requests out of email, catalogue your orders and help speed up our inventory planning / ramp up.

For spare parts orders, please also use the form to write in your needs – we will follow up to confirm everything. We are working on the willswing.com store and will resume SKUs and orders through the dealer portal once it's up and running again!
