92kg Pilot looking for freestyle wing

Hi guys,

I'm getting step by step into the ''let's pull the lines'' game.

As I am looking for more fun than with my BGD punk (which is actually really good!)

I'm looking for comparison between the recent freestyle wings, maybe even acro one on a loooooooow wing loading. I know absolutely nothing about the differences between a freestyle3, octane2,f-gravity2...

High B wing that works well for acro

Hi,
I’m hoping to resume some acro training this year but would like to get the basics dialled on a high B wing that I can also use for some XC.
Pal T has shown the rush 4 was perfect for this. Does anyone have any recommendations for bit newer wing that will perform likewise of the rush 4?

Happy new year,
Lewis.

Towing with SupAir Acro Base

Hi all,

My friends and I will start doing some regular auto towing soon. Since we'll be doing acro over ground, I'm considering buying the SupAir Acro Base. I've read some topics here, and see that people do tow with the base harness, attaching the tow bridles in different ways.

AirG Emilie Smile

Hey,

does anybody know why there are not more people flying an Emilie Smile? According to the website it's basically the Peace with lower break pressure. I am currently flying the Emilie Peace and considering switching to the Smile since I don't like the high break pressure so much. Are there any reasons I shouldn't?

D-Bag from MOTOR TANDEM how to rig????

Want to D bag from motor tandem paraglider. Launching requires that passenger is at normal connection point hight, we are launching from a flat road. Would like to have the D bag below pilots feet at time of deployment and weighting of passenger at glider connection points so that, so the pilot doesn't drop and bag goes over pilots head. Our idea is to lower pilot and D bag into deployment position in flight. Ideally the top of the bag is under the pilots feet. Having not done this before, looking for suggestions or knowledge as to the way its done.

Back to acro / what glider?

Hi, I just got my first winch/Acro flight over water since I flew active acro 6 years ago. Everything felt the same, but G-force tolerance was not as good. Anyway. I am looking into a new acro glider as I will get more opportunities now. Previous gliders. MAC para Acro Intox 22, Gradient freestyle 20, Sol Super Sonic 18, U-turn Thriller 20m . The Thriller is from 2011. I believe that today's gliders are less tricky and perhaps better for helico/misty and dynamic maneuvers. I am hoping that I can find a glider that is larger but without being harder for rytmic.
