Hey guys!!

I really have a problem... Maybe someone of you can help me.

I slowly want to start flying acro but the problem is that my naked weight is 135 kg.

So its difficult for me to find a glider which is not to "hot" for me. I am flying since 2008 and my actuell glider is a UP Kantega 2. Its a very comfortable glider, i did a SIV that year and it was great. But for starting acro i want to fly something new.

Has anybody of you a sollution for me? That would be great.

Thank you for all your help!

Nice flights
Chris

Dear experts,
can anybody share their experience about thriller brake length?

My experience is as follows:
Currently I'm 66kg nacked and I'm flying Thriller 2k12 size 18. (~4,5 stress load)
I practice ritmic sat to infinite tumblings.
So it was initially very complicated to work with the brake lines standard length. Which was performed by default from U-turn.

So I've reduced it 15cm. It's more convenient to do ritmic, but some problem I had with fast heli manoeuvres.

As the organizer of the Open Nordic Championships paragliding Acro 2012, I'm trying to get in touch with some acropilots from Finland. If they exist.

Since 2006 we have organized The Nordic Championships (Open). The nordic countries are Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland. Never have we had pilots from Finland joining the competition (nor Iceland).

So... if you are or know some acropilots from these countries, register for the comp her:

Hi!

Does anyone fly with back protection??? Like backprotectors at skiing or motorbike use?

May you have more informations for me... which protector...

Do you think it helps while crashing with a paraglider?
