Equipment

Hello,

I have been flying for 7 years with a en-B, Hook 5. I have started doing some acro tricks (SAT, Heli, Mistys, Wing-overs, Asymmetrical Spiral...) and now I'd like to go to a more acro glider, i.e. Freestyle.

I'd like to know which gliders are on the market, and the level of expertise required to fly them. I weight 80kg (only me - no equip.), what area the wing should have as to not be too dynamic?

Thanks,

Marcelo Boson.

In this video at 2:01 it looks like he has a beer can holder attached to his harness. Now, I'm sure that's not really what it is but.. what is it?

Will it be a stupid fun idea to fly a 22m FLX with a TOW of 105kg (including a motor), overloading about 15 kg? Still new to freestyle, but will advance in no time if I get a chance to fly with a motor

Hi All,

anyone know what's new with Supair's Acro4 harness?

Thx,

There are a couple of useful things to have in your kit to heighten safety for the most part when starting to practice outside of the comfort zone of an ACRO course.

Altiude awareness -
1. Flight logs: recording heightloss during tricks.
Flyskyhy app for iphones only. Using graph.
Enabling you work out height loss with every trick and measures sink rates.

2. Live altitude reading - A smart watch 360° Moto sport with app called “smart altimeter”
Shows altiude and sink rate. Is handy and small in a watch form.
