Wing change

Yup after considerable though, i've decided on changing out the wing on my trike. The "why" for this is for two reasons, one, the wing I currently have (Cosmos Top 14.9) has a slight interference issue with the hang point knuckle on the carriage (Air Creation GTE-S Twin) and while it hasn't been an issue with control and flies very well, it still makes the wing incompatible with the trike and two, I've discovered that the way this wing is designed, it's very difficult to properly attach a camera mount to the underside of this wing without causing a yaw stability issue. After looking around, I've decided on getting a North-Wing Quest GT4 13,5m strutted wing with their universal Hang block because it's a lot easier to store since it doesn't have that annoying king post (pole on top of the wing) and can be pushed into the hanger with out lowering the wing, it can be folded while on the trike and the wing has two hard points for a standard GoPro mount on each side of the wing (Nice!!) plus it will be a good bit faster too. Once I am able to sell my current wing and get the new one i'll have some pics of it up and I can't wait to use the camera mounts, no more GoPro issues :) Anyway till the, take care. (Axle)
