Hi all,
I know that low B Gliders are usually the way to go starting out Acro (I've done sat, spins, helis, misty flip all on the Epic - which I loved).
My problem is that they just really suck when it comes to XC.
Which High B glider (in relative terms) is best for Acro maneuvers?
Any recommendations?
Cheers,
Simon

I think this depends on the level of Acro skills. I've recently went from Low-B to High-B and got a Rush 5. That wing is so much more demanding and in general has other handling than my Epsilon 8 was. Because it's made for XC and not Acro. If you can't handle a 2 Step Stall, then it's gonna be hard, because these wings have so much more wing span.
So if you already have decent skills in Acro, I think you won't have a problem. If you want to really progress with this wing, I don't think it's the best idea, but thats just my personal opinion.

I have the Rush 5 and although you can do helis and stuff on it, I wouldn´t recommend it necessarily for Acro. Surely there are some better ones out there. I heard of people doing stuff on the Rush6 and Sigma too... maybe most gliders can do most manouvers more or less ok, if you dedicate enough time?
Hola, I can only recommend you the wing that Pál Takáts recommends... ;) the Rush 4. See his tutorials MasterAcro. (Absolutely worthy btw, many thanks for his stunning work)
I've read from Pál himself on another post that the Rush 5 is potentially good too, but I don't know more about it. About the Rush 4, I got one and am currently working on heli and others, as well as doing my first XCs: I'm pretty happy with it :)
