Avasport Cutaway

Hi everyone,
I’m the new Avasport dealer for France! Unfortunately 2 weeks ago a parcel with a Cutaway harness was stolen ( lost ) from the delivery company DPD in the capital of Hungary, Budapest, which is just scandalous! The parcel had to be delivered in France, and as you may know, Avasport provides personalised colours, and this one had a new fabric used on, so it’s kind of unique!
So my request is, if any one gets a juicy offer about a black & red Cutaway with a specific bottom fabric (you just can’t miss it )please contact me .

Syncro towing

Years ago i had heard talk of someone towing two pilots on a split line.
Does anyone have images or video or more first hand experience with such a set up?
Thanks.

Beginner serial glider (low B) for easy full stall entry & stable tail slide

I’m a novice pilot shopping for a low end EN B serial glider like Advance Epsilon 9, Ozone Buzz Z6, SkyWalk Tequila 5, Gin Atlas 3 etc... does anyone have experience with low end B serial gliders with easy full stall entry and maintaining stable tail slides without needing to use difficult techniques? I don’t want to purchase a glider only to find it is a bitch to maintain stable tail slides. After a hundred hours of beginner air time (or maybe less), I will attend progressive SIV training and maybe set up a 300 stall challenge.

Safety height

How high (low) do you train over ground, when the box is almost over your landing field?

Last season I was at Gelitzen and would stop the manouvers at about 300m, this allowed me to just reach the (alternative) landing field a couple of times when I miscalculated or messed up. But this year I'm flying at different locations due to time and budget constraints, and often reach the "box" with under 400m.
