Ozone Octane2 or other Wing ??

Hi Guys,
I got a question and i hope you can help me!?
I really want to get into Freestyle/Acro flying! I think i want to start with a Ozone Octane2..what do you think about the Octane? Is it a good Wing to start freestyle?
And which Size would you reccomend? I'm 85Kg naked without Harness! 22m or 25m?

Thanks,
Cheers Patrick

Trimming - interpretation of measuring values

Hello everybody,

i build my one line-measuring-device and I´m quit happy with the repeatability of the measuring-system. If i measure one Line four times i got the same or +/-1mm results. (Slidingplate with 5kg and laser)
I checked my Emilie 18m yesterday and got very strange results.
The A´s have loops: One A1/A2s - Ankerstich and A3s have singleloops, so it´s ok, that the Aa are a little shorter.
But the strange thing is, that the C and Ds are way to long, not to short.

Airg-Emilie Smile 18m

Hi everybody I would buy an Emilie Smile 18m but I'm really undecided.
-What do you think about it?
-It's a good glider to start or it's aggressive? (I am 80 kg in flight and I fly"acro" with an octane 2 20m)
-Would you buy or will buy this glider?
-What about the trim?
Thank you to everybody who respond.

Keep flying acro during december ?

Hi everybody !
I'm looking for a place where I could fly acro during this winter ( december and january ).
I just did my first compet the last week and I want to keep flying acro for the two months coming before begin the instructor formation which doesn't let lot of time for personal flying.
So if you know a place where I can find acro pilotes, to fly and progress with them or you, it could be awesome.

I heard about Olüdeniz, iquique or Malaga ( north from Grenade ) but I would like to go on a spot where I can find peoples who are training too.
