Can anybody tell me if they have flown both the Hershey Bar wing and tapered wing of the same type and any handling differences that they noticed?
Flown both wing types on PA28, PA28R and PA32Rs. Tapered flies better, roll is more stable possibly a little less responsive, seems to get a couple of knots more and glide further. Stall is very benign on tapered wings, can get more of a wing drop with slab wings. Could also be the age of the Slab vs tapered models though as the differences are small.
