Freestyle wing

I'm 125kg at the take-off. Now I'm flying an Ozone Buzz Z3 (XL size) and I wish to buy a freestyle wing. I am a beginner acro pilot that started seriously flying almost 6 months ago. I can already fluently do wingovers, SAT, Asymmetric spiral and looping (thanks to my instructor, who also is one of my best friend). Next trick will be helicopter, but I will wait for the SIV. I'm looking for a freestyle wing that could match my weight. Do you have any suggestion? I alredy had a look to few freestyle wings such as Gradient Freestyle 2 and U-turn Freeforce 3.

outer routing brakes

Hello
I would like to install the outer brake system on my FF3
Im a loong time BASEjumper and is used to jump slider off/free brakelines,while flying my paraglider i feel restricted by the guiderings as the glider comes with..

I therefore plan to do the outside routing as i see many pilots fly with..

I however dont seem to find info on the setups,im thinking about the lenght of the elastic fabric how much force does it need to provide at max streach and how much force does the input require..

Connection line Handle/rescue

Hi.

I just got my "new" harness, a used Skyline Vertigo 2R.

As I installed my rescue, I noticed quite a long connection line between handle and rescue. Does someone have information about the length of this line?

I think it is not that easy to drop the rescue with such a long arm?!
The length of the lines to open the container are ok!

Cheers

Niviuk Zion 15sqm

Hi!

I'm a light pilot (50Kgs) and I have a Niviuk Zion 15 to fly with strong winds. I'm flying this wing at 65Kgs all up (take off weight 69-91Kgs). I feel this wing behaves like an acro wing.

I'd like to know if I can do some maneuvers like the "normal" wings. I can do wingovers and spirals without any problem, but can I do SATs and Helicos?

Sorry my english.

Cheers!
