Gradient Freestyle3

Do you have any impressions about a new Freestyle3? Can you compare It with the old one or others freestyle wings?

Looking for reserve type "Rogallo" Vonblon Papillon or Beamer

Hello!

I am a sailor and looking for a reserve parachute, type "Rogallo"
Wo as an old one which is not in use anymore?

With some sailors we want to restart test as a traction kite on sailing yachts 9 @ 12 meters , 30 @ 40 feet.

Since 2005 the tests are stopped; but we think there is a future for this way of downwind sailing.

AVA SPORT OR SUPAIR BASE

Which one guys, and why? I have been waiting and watching to see how these designs progress and turn into clean/refined products. Seems like it is time to step up and purchase one or the other. I have my own BASE canopy (Asylum 260 Seven), and was wondering what size each harness recommends. There is not really anything on the websites that give that information. What size canopy are people using in these?

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).
