Emilie Peace vs. newest Emilie Smile

Hi, can anybody describe me what has changed on the construction of Emilies and how it affects the flying for non competition pilots? :) Specifically I am curious on the older Emilie Peace vs. the newest Emilie Smile. Thanks a lot, appreciate any response

Free style wing for heavy pilot

Hello,

I have about 300 hours as "normal" pilot. Last year I had some SIV training ( 4 training sesions) and I enjoy it quite a lot.

Now I want a littlle bit more so I want to get a free style wing.

My weight is 115 kg naked ( target is 110kg) so I don't have to many options.

Niviuk F-Gravity 2 or Gradient Freestyle 3.. booth of them will be flyed at around 130kg.

So, does anybody had the chance to fly booth wings and is willing to share his experience?

Tank you,
Mihai

Setup for 3rd rescue

I have an Ava 2015 acro base and have been thinking about ways to fly with a 3rd rescue for training tricks with a high risk of falling into the wing/lines where I may not be able to use my base. Unfortunately this harness has no spot for a 3rd rescue (I'm aware that the newest version of the harness does have this). Using a front-mount is no good because clipping into the carabiners would add a major risk for using the base, and there are no attachment points at the shoulder to add in risers.

Hello everyone,

I've read quite a lot on this forum on freestyle vs acro wings for beginners. However, not so much on wannabe acro harnesses!

Waterproof gadget functions for acro?

Hello Friends!
My name is Nicolay, I am a paraglider pilot and an R&D engineer in the Ungravity project: www.ungravity.store

Our product is the first waterproof gadget for free flying. And we would be proud to build some useful functions for acro pilots, who often trains over the water. I do know at least two features, which are essential for you: G-meter and a low altitude alarm. Both are easy to implement in our product.
