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!

Acro3 2012

Hey

I want to buy a brandnew Acro3 and i have the possibility to buy a 2011 model.
The 2012 model does look a little bit "greener" ;-) which i would prefer more.
Are there other technical changes in comparisation to the 2011 model?
