Beamer 3 Light

Hello,

I plan to buy a new reserve and I was ready to by a Nova Beamer 3 light version till I saw in the manual :

" The Beamer 3 light is not suitable for use in the acro discipline"

Is someone know why is this not suitable for acro ?

I know what you will say... Why do you want the light version ??? Because I'm using my harnesse for classic flights, soaring, etc as well and I don't want to be overloaded :S

Thanks

Ava cutaway 2018

Hi, me and my friend have recently encountered an interesting problem with the rescue system.
The bridal straps from the two rescues underneath the seat will be crossing each other just underneath the base. So in practice there will be required to throw them in a specific order to not be hanging from your back facing with your chest to the ground.
Is there anyone out there who knows a smart solution for this problem?
The manual does not consider this at all.
Hope to hear from you
Kind regards Anders

installation of 3rd-party canopies on RR base

hi all,

i consider buying a supair rr base harness sold without base canopy. could i use a 3rd-party skydiving reserve instead of the original altair base canopy? i'm 63kg plus equipment so i'd rather go for something smaller than 255ft (i mainly fly in organya and el hierro, so windy places)

and in general: nowadays all base systems (which i cannot afford) have 2 underseat reserves. am i sensible to go with just one?

cheers!
