Helico on Niviuk Hook 5?

I’m buying a glider just to learn the beginner acro. I saw several videos of helico on Hook 3 but can’t find any on Hook 5. I’m offered to buy one. Can you helico on Hook 5 (mid weight)?

Cheers, -Albert

Beamer3, specific folding techniques

Hello everyone!

I’m curious: I noticed that TheoDeblic in his RescueTutorial doesn't repack his Beamer3 as recommended by the manufacturer's manual.
It's at the very end of the packaging, just before he puts it in the pod: As far as I've been able to see, he just folds it in S, turns the whole block up-side-down, and stuffs it into the pod. (The riser attachment points end up at the top of the pack. And not in the middle as recommended).

Beamer. How not to lose the pod/handle.

Hi all!

As highly recommended, I would like to practice rescue tossing, but I don't want to lose the pod/handle every time I do so... (it will be with a Beamer3, so the landing must be alright on a good ground)

I've noticed that Théo Deblic, not to mention him, in his YouTube tutorial has attached it to the top of the canopy. At least that is how it looks to me. He doesn't want to answer the comments about it, which is understandable.

Can you share your technique on this topic?

High B for Acro

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
