Herb,
How do you order the extra wings? I have inquired about a pair of the Agenda wings for the Invitation before I order mine. I do not want to fly the stock wings for the P/F-17 schedule or the K maneuvers.
I wish I could get my fingers on a Contra to see if I like it or not, until then I will stick with my plan. I know flying the DTFS wings -VS- the stock wings on the Nuance was a night and day difference in performance ability, favor going to the DTFS wings. However, with that said..., the DTFS wings had it's own set of disadvantage with that air frame. These are not DTFS wings but it's the example of substituting and experimenting for performance.
Good to know you substituted the wings and found better performance.

If you lay the two wing panels on top of each other the Agenda wing has pretty much the same lines and airfoil but each panel is approximately 1 CM shorter. In the air this means that snaps are a little tighter and spin entries and exits are cleaner. The Inspire wing had a tendency to tip stall or drop a wing making the spin entries a little more difficult to control in all conditions. So far the Agenda wing doesn't seem to do that. The Inspire would carry a little momentum on exit while the Agenda wing helps the plane stop upon release of controls. Haven't noticed much downside. Probably means next plane is the whole Agenda.
