Equipment

Hello,

I am searching for THE ULTIMATE HELICO MACHINE, as this is the maneuver I am currently trying to learn.

I have thought about the following gliders

Octane FLX
RR Rolling
Burn
P 360
Burst
Instinct 2

I dont want a hardcore -arco glider, just a nice helico glider I can also do some combos with. (Later on)
It should also be possible to fly thermals nicely - to gain height obviously. (So maybe the FLX will not be my choice???) I did not list Freestyle 2 because its too expensive.

thanks in advance for your comments

Hello Acro Pilots!

Here is some general info from an email from Skyline for you all:

Gradient Freestyle 2 ≠U-Turn Free Force 3 ≠ Icaro Instinct 2

I am thinking of getting a new Freestyle wing soon and was wondering if someone could give some feedback on the models above, and better tell how they compare.

Basically it's for Acro learning, but it would be nice to have some possibilities of doing some odd cross country flights.

Cheers,

Dymitr

Has anyone ever flown with the Swing 3D, or does anyone own one?
I have not been successful on the net, forums, etc, finding any information about its flying characteristics.
It's said to be a free style wing, which is good for pilots interested in getting started with acro stuff.
If anyone reading this can say a word or two about the wing, I'd appreciate it.

Thankx,
Chris

Hi,

I want to start to get into acro flying, XC is getting too boring, ive been looking at some wings that i could get and the choices i have are the Twister MKII or the Freestyle 2, both of them seem to be good wings, ive contacted Apco about the twister and they say it performs quite well, the Freestyle 2 is a newer wing with about the same performance, but my question being, i want to get a good performing acro glider that i can thermal up in, but i also want something i wont grow out of too quickly, has anyone tried both of these wings, any advice about either would be very helpful.

Hi!
