About gliders, harnesses, reserves and all the rest...

Icaro Aquila impressions?

Hi,
does someone have any experiences with Aquila? I'm really looking for a freestyle glider that is also good for thermals and even for light XC.
Thanks

Trying out harnesses

I am looking to get a harness that is suitable for acro but also fits my size (fairly short arms and legs but need wide seatplate)
I actually need to try it on to see if it fits, if the hangpoints are low enough, whether I can reach to get the reserve handle etc.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can try out a few different harnesses, i.e. the AvaSport, the Supair, etc.

It must be close to my home in the Netherlands or at a large testival such as Stubai Cup or Kössen
Would there be a testival that features acro gear?

Cheers, Bastienne

Picking the right wing/size for starting freestyle

Hello folks,
I have a question regarding the wings to starting freestyle.
I am actually flying under an epsilon 8 27 and I'd like to start some manoeuvers (I have 2 SIV planned before end of october) and a lot of people have told me to get a HOOK 3 as a starting point.

My question is: what size should I buy, my weight naked is 95kg and I fly with an Acro 3 and 2 reserve (~4.5kg)
Should I buy a 21m2 (a lot of people told me to) or get something bigger like 23 or even 25 ?

Thank you

Wich EN-B Wings are suggested for a Freestyle and Acro wannabe?

HI there, I'm a beginner pilot (1 year since license) and I want approach to the freestyle, and who knew, maybe also acro filghts.

I'm changing wing and I would like a tip of which EN-B 1-2 buy; I'm looking for a solid and dinamic wing that let me learn in safety maneuvers as Asymmetrical Spiral, SAT, Heli and more.

I read somthing but I'm a bit confuse; someone suggest Instinct TE (Icaro) others Rush4 (Ozone) and others Infinity 4 (U-Turn) but actually i didn't find a qualificated suggestion, can some of you help me?

Best regards,

Sgrè
