The Still 17 Wing was designed to facilitate 'low and slow' flight. This wing is very easy to handle, even in slightly rough weather, and a dream to rig and derig. The Still Wing has great climb ability, which is traded off with a low cruise speed and low top speed. The stall speed is also low, which adds to this wing's great short-field capabilities.
