What's your feeling on the new protector? Does it address the issue of a lack of upper back support? Thanks! [ goto post ]

Seems Agadir is OK but Marrakesh more problematic with bags being confiscated. Did you submit various forms for a permit before travelling?

In summer with alpine conditions I use a 4kg ballast, to have more wing control sharpness. I have a Skywalk Range XAlp 3 as harness, without stabiliser links because I prefer more roll control with my weight shift. BR [ goto post ]

I’ve owned a few of them now, started with a Photon but now have an Alpina 5. I also flew the Vortex for around 40 hours. They are fantastic wings and the control available using the rear risers is[…]
