Hey all, this might be a long shot but I'm curious if anyone has seen this.
I just got a new Slingwing NXT and I'm really struggling with tacks. The wing just doesn't want to move across to the new side of the wind window. It kind of "sticks" and won't switch over no matter what I do.
I've tried holding the back hand longer, pushing it across more aggressively, still the same thing.
When gybing I can make it switch, but only if I physically push the leading edge out to force it over.
What's weird is I never had this issue on other wings like F-One Strike or Cabrinha Mantis - those felt super natural in transitions.
So now I'm wondering if this is something specific to the Slingwing NXT, or maybe something to do with the Aluula frame being stiffer? Or maybe it's just me and I need to adjust something. Anyone else experienced this or have tips?
Are you talking about the v1 or v2? I've got the 6m NXT v2 and never had issues with tacks or gybes.

i have v1, not sure how different it is from v2, thanks for the feedback .
Some wings have a size that flies different. The duotone slick 5m was like that but the 4 and 6 tacked no problem I traded the 5m SLS for a D-lab and it was a bit better but I know what you are feeling.
