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

DHV 1-2 most dynamic wing

Hello,

I started flying 1 year ago, right now I'm using Buzz Z3. But it is not mine, thanks to University Aviation Club :) I'm considering buying one at the end of this summer season, because we have to share wings in the club etc. I also plan to continue in the way of being an acro pilot, so I'm looking for a wing which I can push the limits of it and can learn as much manoeuvres as I can from a DHV 1-2 wing.

Low flying acro

Hey Guys and Gals

I am towing over water on an Acro3 harness and Octane FLX2 22m wing. I have thus far deployed my Gin OneG reserve #38m which has a sink of 4.3m per second with a max loading of 100kg (my inflight load is 85kg). Both times I hit the water, I think I would have broken some bones.

I train over the water for 2-3 months of the year on weekends and then train only 300m agl (above ground level) for another 6-8 months of the year.
