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 ?

Trimmers on G Freestyle 2

Just received my Freestyle 2, and I see it has trimmers on the rear risers.

Gradient supply no information on the correct use of the trimmers, so I am wondering two things.

Should the trimmers be set on fast or slow for acro?

Can I use full speed bar when the trimmers are already on fast?
