Equipment

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!

Hi everybody!
I wanted to share my impressions with the Agility 17, if it can be of any use to other pilots.

I used to fly with an Emilie peace 18 (also tried Trickster 1, Nikita 3, Nikita 5). My total weight is 85kg. I'm not a very good pilot (so i need a wing that will tolerate a few mistakes) but i enjoy flying acro, especially heli connections, tumblings, mactwist,... even when they're not perfect.

I have been watching some videos of this steerable reserves and see that the main difference is heavy weight on Beamer vs the light 2 and 3; and that the 2-3 have brakes fixed which you have too release too make the reserve steerable.
What about durability? Is it some difference there if you are going too throw it maybe 15-20 times because of acro manouveres goone wrong? Is the fabric thicker on the Beamer vs 2 and 3 and therefore better for extensive use?

Best regards Marcus
