Equipment

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?

Hi,
I am looking to buy a reserve parachute. My in flight weight is around 89 kg ( 69kg nude weight + 20kg - harness+helmet+others). What should be ideal weight category for my reserve? (Please note that someone suggested that even a 120kg reserve will be good for me and I am not sure if it will work for me.) ( I am currently doing normal flying and no acros).

Please also suggest some links to read/view more about reserves?

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm looking to get into Acro but have several gliders in mind. I want a dynamic wing but one that "forgives" a bit when learning new maneuvers. Any opinions on these gliders (or other options)?

-Freestyle 3
-Redout
-F-gravity

Hi,
Which are the best helmets to use for acrobatics?
Please mention any advantage or disadvantage of such helmets?
Thanks.

Freeway XX: Anyone has tried? impresions? mainly for learning helicos, misty?
I'm TOW 90 I don't know if 19,5 or 22, I think it would be funnier the 19.5 but I don't know how it reacts, someone that has flown it could give some feedback plis.

Other option is go directly to an emilie 22, as it is already an acro glider I think big size is better, any opinion which would be better to progress?

Thx
