Sophie High or Emilie With 22

Hi everybody,

I'd like to have some advice: I want to change my glider for the next season. I currently use an Instinct 2 A, doing SAT,WO,full stall, negative and recently started to try helico. Next season I want to nail the dynamic stall...

Thing is, the Instinct is pretty slow so I'm losing height and often have to use the speedbar. Especially the low trim speed is a problem when flying on the coast (which is next to my home)...

Thriller X3 brake lines

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble with line plan for Thriller X3. In the line plan (http://flight.manual.free.fr/lines_plans/uturn-thrillerx3_plan.pdf) there are 3 lines on brake (BR1-1, BR1-2, BR1-3); however, I have 4 lines on my glider :-) My friend has the same 4 lines on his Thriller, so I don't know if there is problem in the line plan.

I need to order these four lines and I don't know how to name them. Do you know about some other line plan which contains all 4 brake lines?

SOL Wasabi 2 harness... waaaaaay too sensitive?

Hey there!

Anyone had the chance of comparing the SOL Wasabi 2 with other acro harnesses? This is my first acro harness, and last week I used it to thermal for the first time (every other flight has been on the coast) with my NOVA Rookie 28, and I found it super sensitive to the bumps and throws around (thermals where pretty punchy and narrow also, spring conditions :-/). Anyways, was it just me that I need to get used to it or is it more sensitive than other acro harnesses? I had my chest strap all the way done up which was a dumb mistake. I'll correct that next time...

A wing for everything!!!

Hi I am an acro beginner.
I do only spirals and Sats. I like to thermal also because I need to gain altitude before doing some acro moves.
I am looking for a wing that could do thermal (also the small one) and enough strong and fast to do more advanced acro move.
Now I flight a Buzz3.
I am 181 cm and my weight is 95 kg ready to flight.

Thank you
