THRILLER X4

Hi,
I received my THRILLER X4 17sqm since almost 2 months now and I want to clarify some things about this new wing.
As told on the U-Turn website: -the THRILLER X4 is a first class competition wing for pilots with acro experience and competition pilots-.
It means that it is not a good glider to learn basics acro maneuvers as Stall, Spins, Wing Overs, Sat and Helicos. I even recommend you to already know how to do Helico connections before to buy and X4 in small sizes (18sqm and under, depending of your air charge).

Looking for 20-22m Acro Wing

Hey Guys,
Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place, but I'm just putting word out that I'm looking for an acro wing. Preferably an Emilie or Thriller, but I'll consider some freestyle wings. I think at this point anything smaller than a 19m would be too fast for me, and anything above a 23 would be too large. I'm just putting this out in case someone has one around and haven't gotten around to posting it yet. Open on the price, but would like to spend 1000 euro on something that isn't a complete rag. If its closer to new, I'd be willing to talk higher pricing.

Hi, I would like to ask what size to order. I have around 192cm and 87kg . Currently I have SUP AIR acro 3 L and I think that is small for me - seat board ends approx. 20 cm from my knees. But in turbulent conditions I have bad feeling that I floating in this harness also if all straps are tightened. So I considering if to go to XL or XXL size of AVASPORT harness. I have no chance to try it, thats reason why Iam asking.

Thanks for helpful informations

Acro3 vs Ava Sport

Hello everyone,

I currently own an Acro3 which is completely destroyed, everything slips, the "container" for the reserve does not stay in place and I feel like it is too large for me. (Size L for 1m87, should be the right fit.., M is too small..)

I have a hard time finding info on the Ava Sport Acro, the only thing that comes up is that it is more sensitive than the Acro3 due to lower hanging points.

Acro 3 Size

Hi Buddies!

I would like to know, I'm going to buy an acro 3 from sup air but I'm hesitating between sizes M and L. Actully I'm 1m82 for 80kg but I have an imposing buttock!! What would you advice me? M or L? I don't have friend who have one, and sellers don't have it in stock so I can't try it before ordering.

Cheers
