Try preloading the shift lever prior to the shift with your foot (about as hard as you can without actually shifting it). Then when the clutch is momentarily pulled in the shift will be very quick. That preloaded shift allows the sliders to move & engage the next gear before the engine/trans shaftRPM has a chance to change much so the gear match speed is closer. Try it & see if it helps you, it sure does on mine..

Col, one of the problems on the Wings is the hardiness of the transmissions. They use large gears with big dogs to transmit all the torque so shifting is slow & notchy.
