question B or B+

Hi everybody...dont want to bored you with a classic question...but need do it! After a short time approach to "acro" with an acro 3 and niviuk fgravity 2 size 22 (naked weight 67 kilos)...where I learned sat (of course) and some lucky turns in helico.....I had to stop....no time and place for training. Actually I just fly tandem..and some solo with an old golden3..is enough for few flights.

Tendon Injury - Picking a Glider with LIGHT Brakes

I injured the tendon on my right elbow doing stalls and SAT's on my U-turn emotion3. Went to a doctor to have it checked out and went 2 months without flying to recover, then another month of paramotoring before I did acro again. Apparently it didn't heal fully and the pain came back when I started doing acro again. I am now doing physical therapy to heal and build strength, and have decided I will wait until the next season in 2022 to start doing acro again to be sure it has healed.

Niviuk E-Gravity

Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a freestyle glider and was thinking about the Niviuk E-Gravity. The only problem is that there is not a demo here in Switzerland at the Niviuk dealer. Just before I do more effort to find one to test fly I was wondering if there are people here who have experience with this wing. How does it thermal? Do it still have good glide? Etc. Thanks a lot!

Carabiner for BASE

Recently I deployed my base system and encountered a problem: It just released one side.

I heared about that several times and deployed the system several times on the ground, but I never thought that this is possible. The middle ring stuck in the carabiner so strong that I hung on that one side and had to push the ring through the carabiner manually.

Probably I have to add that I pulled the release while flying straight ahead and being tandem passenger, so there was no force to pull me "away" from my suspension point.
