Brake pressure

I'm currently flying a F-grav 2 22 but I'm looking for something with lighter brake pressure, what would you guys recommend?

I'll be soaring it quite a bit in the UK so good performance would be a bonus so I guess a freestyle wing would be better than a full on acro wing? I know the freestyle 3 is good for soaring but I've heard it's not so good for tricks?

I was thinking maybe one of the bigger Sophies? My AUW is about 115-120 kg.

Emilie, Redout or other wings recommendation

Hi Folk

I am thinking about doing the next step an change my octane flx for a acro wing.
i heard de Emilie peace as well as the Redout should be some great wings which one do you recommend to start real acro, where is the big difference?
Does anyone recommend me another wing like the Aircross or what about the Agility will it be suitable or better when will it finally be on the marked?

Thanks for your help

greeting
Alex

The Concept of overloading Acro/Freestyle Gliders

Hi,

I've been confused with the different sizes of Freestyle Gliders like the Octane 2 or Instinct Acro.
If i choose the size according to my TOW of 105 kg Ozone says I need the 25 sqm Version which
appears a little big. With Icaro I would be well in the weight range on a 21 sqm.
Can you help me choose a glider to make a smooth transition from the 28sqm glider I am
flying at the moment? Doing Sats, Stalls, Wingovers, beginning Heli now.

Thanks

Roman
