Equipment

Hi Guys,

I hope some of you take time to answer some questions regarding beginner acro wings.

What makes them so different/diffecult to handle in comparison to say a normal or freestyle wing, outside of increased wing loading which creates more dynamic & speed. Has it to do with the longer line lengths, making an Acro wing much more sensitive to all inputs?

Then some say, I progressed quicker on an acro wing where others say I nearly killed myself or often I read acro wings slow progression.

Hi everyone, Im not an acro pilot I’m just only a beginner freestyle pilot, so I don’t have experience to understand the realy reaction of some acro harness o glider. For this I need help somebody help me to understand.
I’m a 1.75 meters high and 90 kg weight. Yesterday for the first time I flown my new (used) harness : AVA ACRO PRO size L whit my base EN B Glider ROOK by Triple Seven company.

So I'm looking to purchased my first freestyle glider and these two have been the most recommended so far. I have around 75hours and have completed my first SIV course in oludeniz and learned the full stall and SAT on a enB glider and have enjoyed it so much I plan to continue learning and progressing at a safe level.

Hello guys, which cutawaysystem do you use on your ava base for the speedsystem or how are you doing it? At my homespots I wouldn't fly with any since there is never super strong wind and these systems seem like they could be just one more thing which could fail during a cutaway but it would be nice to have one at spots like lake Garda.

Could anyone of you share experiences with installing of slider on his reserve (or BASE)? Does the slider makes big difference in sense of the distance to full opening? Meaned for regular using not a "demo jump".

Hi,
The webbings of my harness( 2016 round + Base reserve) get loose with dynamic manoeuvres, especially the laterals. How did you guys solve the issue?
I have considered stiching them into position with a sewing machine- any feedback on that?

Cheers!
