Dear all, I am a novice to this sport and weigh around 45 kilos. Can anyone recommend a glider that has more "glide" than "ride?" Preferably not to expensive. I saw the firebird trainer but...its for groundhandling only. considering that, will i fly If I run as hard as I can? Does it have a good glide? I know the best glide thing already exists in the forum, but since im under normal weight range i wanted to ask about gliders for my weight. I heard of the nerevous swoop, and thought.. wait a moment culd their be a cheeper one around? I also dont want to go too fast, i mean 40 kmh is enough for me. I was also considering the gin yeti paraglider...but then again, which sport, speed or gliding? Does anyone know which harness would be gut? maybe the gin yeti harness. convertible harness/bag thing? It would be great if someone could help me out! thanx- Tino
am i stupid???? y doesnt anyone answer me? have you all turned against newbs???
Possibly its because nobody on the forum has flown a Firebird as a Speedglider so cant comment on it performance and if it will work for you. Rider weight and wing loading has a big effect on your speed and how the glider flies. So if worried about speed (not more than 40kmh) then maybe Paragliding is a better option as you mentioned in your original post ?
Which ever your choice there is no cheap option.
Apparently I am too stupid. Sorry that i Asked irrevelant things on this forum. Maybe there is no cheap option. But wtf I foot launched the nano yesterday and kitesurfaddict ur wrong. There is a cheap option. Used once gin nano freind of my father has it and offered it to me price one glight on it all included plus bag convertible harness and gin nano 14 meter squeared 450 eur yep thats what im talkin bout!!!
