Equipment

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.

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?

Hi, Has anyone tried this harness? I want hear your opinions. Thank you

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).

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.
