U-turn FF3 - brake line length

I reduced the brake line almost 15cm from the standard point. Brakes were too long and the wing did not turn as I wish. Now the length is perfect for wingovers, sat, asymmetric sat, looping. But few days ago I followed a Siv course where I tryed full stall. the wing were too reactive. Lots of time I felt near the glider after having released the brakes. Tryed it without half wrap on brake (as I was used to fly) and the wing was still reactive (although less than before).

Acro With Paramotor, problems etc.

Hello!

I've been flying for just about a year now and got about 60h in the air where more then 45h is with paramotor. I don't got access to a big mountain so flying motor is my best option to go fly.

I'm doing some wingovers, loops, asym.360 right now and will attend a SIV course next week and will probably also learn SAT and Helico. I've done the entry of SAT but exited before going into it and got the timing pretty good without locking in the spiral but I pulled back out right away as I'm a bit scared of overdoing it and spin the glider and get a twist.

Freestyle gliders with low weight

Hi,

I want to begin acro and I am currently checking freestyle gliders.

I've tried so far the 22 Octane (18,40 m2 projected), RR rolling 22 (18.60 m2 projected) and some EN-B at the far top weight limit. I want to give a try at a Gradient Freestyle 2 before I make my choice.

I weight 75kg all equipped. I've liked the dynamics of both gliders but wouldn't go for something much hotter than that as a starting point.

The Freestyle 2 22 is 19.2m2 projected and will probably be less dynamic especially with my low weight, is that right ?
