Stranger2 wing has a wide speed range and good controllability in all flight modes.
Launch is easy - before the wing acquires launch speed, the effort on the control bar prevents early lift-off. After launching the wing smoothly acquires cruising speed 75-85 km/h (depending on the balance).
Pitch effort is acceptable at all speed range. Provided proper balance, considerable pitch effort is felt at the speed exceeding 100 km/h and at approaching stall speed (~ 55 – 52 km/h).
Stall is smooth, first the wing “slumps”, then drops the nose and starts picking up speed, if the pilot releases the control bar. The wing doesn't tend to side-slip at stall.
It is easily controllable, especially at coordinated control (pitch-roll). If the pilot used to fly with "stiff" wings before, it is recommended to start active maneuvering step-by-step, after being accustomed to the Stranger's behaviour at smoother control.
