Paal,

are you saying that you stretch the lines more with heli than with wingover and asym.spiral.
I would say is the other way round.

I just think the heli is so beautiful and I would realy like to learn it.
But I don't want to destroy my beautiful new glider (too expensive),
it's primary job is XC. But heli is so fine.

zeroSIXzeroI have done some helis in my avaxXC2. It's possible. Not more difficult than other "normal" gliders, but heli is never easy on any glider.

But AvaxXC2 is not a good acro glider. It is a superb XC glider, with very good performance, but for acro. Hmm. I wouldn't do anything more advanced than wingovers and asym.spiral in it.
Not worth streching the lines making it crap for XC just to have some acro fun.

big wing-overs are very easy and nice. I have also done 2-3 SATs, but I don't want to strech the lines (any more..). Guess that heli can work, but the lines are way too thin for any dynamic manoeuvres.
