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

Supair Acro 4 vs. Charly Quick-out

Hello acro fellows,

I'm looking for an advice regarding the use of Charly Quick-out carabiner with a Supair Acro 4. One of my rescues is a Rogallo and I'm sure that being able to disconnect the wing under a rescue is a good idea.

Bgd epic 1 or2

Is the bgd epic 2 suitable for acro beginners or has it changed to much from the epic1.
Theres a used epic 2 for sale near me.
Im not interested in buying a new epic freestyle as it wont get used much

Change gravity Acro NC or Woody valley mk1?

I have a Advance Sucess 5 that I want to replace with a new more less damped harness. I have looked at Change gravity Acro NC and the WV MK1.
Have anyone pf you tested these two harness and can you give me some feedback. My friend have a Acro T that i tested on and I really like the leg loops. I hate the two lines in the groin on my Advance Success5, the make it more pr less inpossible to balance without pain.

New wing advise ?

Hi there.

Flying since several years a gradient FS3 in 22sqm, (80-120kg) while being 92kg naked, i struggle with helicopter.

I ended under my rescue in organya, and recently as well in siv after several twists.

That's why i'm looking for something else that would make the learning easier.

My concern is that i'm not willing to buy something like an epic, which despite being amazing, would forbid me to keep on training my tumblings to be axed.

Reserve age

My reserve is 11yrs old. The manafacturer says it has a 12 yr lifespan. How can i tell when its worn out? Apart from visual inspection can a porosity test be done? Its a X one 90kg.
Thanks
