Is there going to be a big difference between the 1000 front wing and the 800 in stronger winds or would I be better going straight down to the 550 ? Mast is 95 fuselage 95 and 330 tail wing . Thanks for your help

Yeah quite a bit of difference unless you are super light try the 800 first

82kg , problem is it is not possible to try first so expensive mistake if I get wrong one unfortunately

In fact of the 95 fuse and your weight i would say 900 frontwing instead of 1000.

Already got the 1000 which is great for light winds just looking to increase my wind range

78 kgs., I only use my 600 sq cm wing, leaving my 1220 at home. It's fine down to 11 knot gusts.

The 900 is ok, but the 800 feels better, a lot faster

If you want to sail in medium wind max, the 800 will be great and you can still use it with more wind by decreasing the stab angle.

If you want to use the 550, you'll need at least 15/20 knts to enjoy it (can be use in less but it will be slow) and also you'll have to get the 255 stab. Again, I'm sure it can be used with the 330 stab buy will probably not perform well. I haven't try this configuration though.

The 800 front wing, 330 rear wing and 95 fuse is basically the GT-R set up, so that is a really good setup.

I agree with Boston that the 800 is a great all-rounder. The 550 needs a fair amount of wind to get going, but I find it only works for me with the 255 stab, I find the 330 unstable. I find the 330 needs too much front foot pressure. Whereas the 255 is just right. It would be interesting to get the tape out and measure Boston's set up compared to mine, as clearly something is very different. (He only lives 5km away so we might get round to it one day)
My point is that it is hard to offer exact advice on what to buy as there are so many different variables.
Best if you can borrow off a mate to test it, where do you live?
