Thanks AKIRA :)

Hi Hakan,
If I see my friend again, I ll ask him for tricks with the glider.
Fly safe.

Than it must be my awkwardness. But good to hear that It is not impossible. My question is about the statement. As you said I told lots of things. so I wonder if I have any wrong impression about the wing.

The things that I said are all my thoughts about the wing so I wanted to chech if I have missed any point.

Thanks for your reply :)

Well I don't know what kind of answer you really expect. You don't ask too many questions but put very strong statements. BTW a friend of mine is also flying a sonic and he can thermal very well ...

Hi Pal

I wrote the same topic to the paraglidingforum.com before trying this site but didnt got even one reply so I want to mention that I am really happy to make this conversation. thanks alot. I had some impressions and want to share with you in order to understand if I am right or wrong this is one of my reply to the paragliding forum.

---------------------------------------------------
I send a message to the just acro forum and PalTakats gave some advice. (thanks alot pal) I had one front and one assymetric collapse allready. everythign went fine. no turns (even an angle) fast recovery. hard to control the glider but not impossible. I am getting used to it. perfect flying. this is the glider. I recomend the other pilots who thinks to buy an acro wing that if they are really have perfect handling with an advanced glider you can get an acro wing. However you still will have lots of problems and will be hard to get used to it so you can first try a less hard core one. like ones that can be used both for acro and thermal flying. by the way no way of turning termals with this guy. It is eating the altitute. you need really very strong termals. and your flights shortens alot. so forget to fly with it. you can just acro. These are my thoughts shaped in a period of 2 weeks flight with my new wing.

important note: This glider is really dangerous. it is not important how you handle the glider or if you can control the glider or not, it is still dangerous. as long as I understood you will need at least 3 or 4 times more distance from the hill compared with the other wings for your safety.

good flights
---------------------------------------------------------

does these thoughts fit the reality (they will shape my flights so they are really important)

:)

Thanks a lot for your help

Hi Hakan!

Okay, that sounds already good. Just take care, an acro glider will be really much more violent and dynamic than what you are used to now, so take it easy and go step by step.
Anyway, regarding your main question, I don't think there is nothing to worry about the sonic, just what I already mentioned above :-)

So good luck practicing and avoid swimming in seewater!

AND Fortunatelly I am in turkey so I plan to go to oludeniz and practice alot :)

I can do (with not SOL supersonic)

sat
helico
loop (from wing overs)
huge wingovers
ground spiral
asymetric spiral
I didnt started tumbling or asymetric sat yet. I am trying to masterise my helicos

I didnt tried tail slide. I know it doesnt sposed to be but I started with helico since I didnt know the rule.

but I was doing these maneuvers with my DHV 2 pro design titan (medium size) I weigh around 75 kg (in the middle range of the gliders pilot weight.)

:)

Hi Hakan!

My advise:

Go over water and do some Full Stall's - if you never did that before, forget about flying / trying any maneuvers with an acro glider!!! You might get surprised...

If it is going well, do MORE Full Stall's, find the stable point and keep in in tail slide under controll.

If you're done and you feel like your controlling the glider well, do another 100 (!) Full Stalls!

I'm not joking...

It is hard to give any further advise without knowing your level. Why did you buy this glider? Which maneuvers are you able to perform?

Have fun,
Pál
