I have the original Gong 712cm2 wing, never used.
It is very thin too, so kind of a Veloce small.
Maybe I should try it now when fast wings are hot again!
My wings will be a nice little quiver.

@AndersP or anyone owning a Gong Kite wing ,
Would you show here the airfoil section of this wing using a "garage" method :
Optional, protect the root chord of the wing along the fuselage with some cling film,
1 - get a piece of thin MDF or cheap brown cardboard at your favourite supermarket,
2- in the middle, cut the approximate shape of the airfoil 2-5mm bigger
3 - put the cardboard around the wing against the fuselage
4 - using clay, Paris plaster, putty, (bread dough ?) , fill the gap between the wing and the piece of cardboard, preferably on each side of the cardboard
5 - leave it set/cure
6 - remove gently
7 - take a photo and post the airfoil section here with chord length and max thickness (mm)
I would really be interested if you could do the same with your two other wings ( Surf pro M 1100 + Surf M (Lift)1500) to compare their physical characteristics. Thanks.
