Supair Acro Base Size

Hey Girls and Boys,

I am looking into the Supair Base. So I am kinda between the 2 sizes.
Like 182cm and 70kg.

Any recommendations ?

For now I am on the AVA Acro in L, which is the perfect size!

Thx!!

Why aren't more people on the Gradient Agility?

In my exposure, it seems like the most popular wings for good acro pilots are the Peace 2 and the Blackout+. But Theo, generally accepted as the hottest pilot of the past few years, is on the agility.

I'm curious, why aren't more pilots on that wing?

Epsilon 7 slightly overloaded to start learning acro ?

Hi all,

I am wondering whether an Epsilon 7 in 26 sqm, 5 kg into the extended weight range, would be a reasonable choice to start learning acro AND for thermal flights and small XC flights in various conditions. I have found one second-hand wing in good condition and within my budget that I should be able to test for a few flights before buying.

Recommended weight range for this size : 75-95 kg,
Extended weight range (also EN-B) : 95-110 kg

I would fly it at around 98-100 kg, and up to 105 once I get an acro harness with 2 reserves.

agl audio warning

is anyone aware of a system (maybe just with a phone app) that one could use to provide an audio warning when a pilot is a certain height agl?

For example if you set the instrument to "zero" before towing up to somewhere around 900 meters, then when you sink below say 300 meters some sort of audio ding or beep or buzzer could constantly play, until the pilot manually turns off the alarm.

I guess I'm bored. Looks like a long winter ahead of me.
