New Gradient Seven, question

I would like to change the wing to something faster. I think the size of New Gradient Seven 17th But I have a small problem, I live in the mountains so low that I care wing flew well in thermals. 17 meters is not enough but is at my weight 60-65 kg is enough to fly acro and the thermals? As the leaf glides

Aspen for part time acro?

hello all,
I want it all - one wing for everything! Is it possible?

Currently I do a lot of travelling and mountain vol biv trips, for this my Gradient Montana has been great. Lightweight, easy/safe to fly, super fun.

best glider for helico

Hello,

I am searching for THE ULTIMATE HELICO MACHINE, as this is the maneuver I am currently trying to learn.

I have thought about the following gliders

Octane FLX
RR Rolling
Burn
P 360
Burst
Instinct 2

I dont want a hardcore -arco glider, just a nice helico glider I can also do some combos with. (Later on)
It should also be possible to fly thermals nicely - to gain height obviously. (So maybe the FLX will not be my choice???) I did not list Freestyle 2 because its too expensive.

thanks in advance for your comments

BEST FREESTYLE WING FOR ACRO BEGGINERS

Gradient Freestyle 2 ≠U-Turn Free Force 3 ≠ Icaro Instinct 2

I am thinking of getting a new Freestyle wing soon and was wondering if someone could give some feedback on the models above, and better tell how they compare.

Basically it's for Acro learning, but it would be nice to have some possibilities of doing some odd cross country flights.

Cheers,

Dymitr

Swing 3D

Has anyone ever flown with the Swing 3D, or does anyone own one?
I have not been successful on the net, forums, etc, finding any information about its flying characteristics.
It's said to be a free style wing, which is good for pilots interested in getting started with acro stuff.
If anyone reading this can say a word or two about the wing, I'd appreciate it.

Thankx,
Chris
