Hi,

You welcome ;-))

The nikita3 is simply awesome, we kept the nikita2's best point and we managed to resolved the bad one, the glider is now super easy for heli, heli to heli, sat to heli, heli to sat, and in the same strong super strong for rythmic, and super easy for anti rythmic. I am more than happy with this glider.

Cheers,
Théo

Hi,

The technic for heli with the nikita is not so hard when you get it :

Don't stay so much in deep stall before putting your start, immediatly after you enter in deepstall pull an input to enter in helico, but not so strong to don't break the shape but strong enough to don't let the glider flying again, the best is to control your extern side in the same time with your extern brake, and to put your weightshift in the inside of the heli for the 2 first turn and then coming back to the center.
Also the nikita like freebrake, so for the deep stall entry you can really brake only the middle of the glider and the same for the start.

Cheers,
Théo

Thanks Silup. It's the 18.
Yamadav: Revelstoke is probably the nicest. Lots of altitude over the water
and landing right next to the lake. Local pilots can offer you rides up and such.
Mara lake is another siv/acro place but don't know much about it. And there's
some guys towing on lakes in BC and the states. Good luck!

Pull more brake on the negative side to start a helico, faster brake inputs at the beginning of rythmic. What size do you fly? 18?
