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).

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.

AVASPORT acro SIZE

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
