About gliders, harnesses, reserves and all the rest...

Show me your break line setup for ACRO.

Hey everyone,
I watch a lot of acro videos and see that a number of guys have like a T bar on there break line doing acro. So do you have that setup and whats the advantage? I am thinking of doing that my self and want to know what people have made them out of?

Any photos would be a great help!

Light weight harness for acro.

Hello,

I am trying to shave some weight from my paragliding gear, so I can hike more and practice more acro.
My Gin Genie 3 harness is heavy, I would like to switch it to SupAir Hybrid harness which is few kilos lighter.
However the SupAir harness uses lighter material and takes 30mm carabiners and overall is not as robust as my Gin harness, which concerns me that something like buckles or strap might break.
Do you guys think SupAir harness is suitable for light acro?

Already did Wing-overz, then Full-Stalls, dinamic FS, SAT, dinamic SAT, helico attempts :)), no coconut yet, but managed to learn Looping. It's so easy with this glider :P.
I have a couple of questions:

Still need packing instructions for Rogallo reserve

Last Thursday I throw my reserve and lost the container. I have a new container but I'm not sure about how to pack the Rogallo (Vonblon) reserve. I would fly this week again, but without a reserve is not so good.. As far as I remember Skok is having packing instruction for Rogallo reserve. Does anybody else have instrutions? Iwould really need it!
Thanks in advance folks

New wing for acro flying

Hello everybody. Please excuse me bad English. At the moment I´m searching for a new acro wing. But First some Information about me. I started flying in 2001. At the moment I´m working as an paragliding Instructor and my wing is a 4 year old Magic 3 S. Takeoff weight is about 90 kg.

With the Magic I am able to fly high wingovers, asymmetric spirals, loops and of course the sat. I´m also working on the deep stall and the helico by using a Flite (Airwave DHV 1) because I have to do most of the training over ground.

Beginner Acro Wing for Small Pilot

I am currently flying a P44 XS wing and though I love it in the mountains...it's not my fave for acro. I'm a beginner acro pilot so I'm not looking for a radical wing. Most of my friends that started flying acro did so with a DHV 1-2 in a XS or S. My dry weight is 50 kg, so that option isn't feasable. Any recommendations?
