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

Line Length Deformation

Hello,

My Air-G Emilie 18 sqm has ~110 flights since 7 months and no water landing. Most of the manoeuvres are done on right side. In addition, this is the glider i've learnt infinity and it has many good and bad rhythmic sat tries on right side and 140 tumblings.

I've compared the A and B lines on left and right risers. All of the lines(especially A1, A2) on right side were a few millimetres longer than the lines on left side.

What should be done in this kind of situation?

Thanks.
