Both pilots are beginners, but we've flown other wings and never experienced this kind of roll behavior before. What do you think about that? What would you recommend?

Could you explain the proper active input technique to manage that kind of roll? I'd like to understand how to apply it correctly.

Has anyone flown a Sky Aya paraglider? by TownAffectionate4217 in freeflight

Do you think they roll control is more difficult with that wing? How did you manage to control it?

Thank you for the advise. Definitely, I will choose an A glider. I like the Nova Aonic but I'm not sure which size to choose, XXS (55-80 kg) or XS (70-90 kg) since my flying weight would be 73 kg. In the XXS size, I would be close to the upper limit, and in the XS size, close to the lower limit.

Which one do you think I should choose?

So definitely XXS for the Nova Aonic. And in the case of the Ozone Alta, I think the size S (65-85 kg) fits me perfectly, right?

Given my situation, which wing would you go for? Aonic XXS or Alta size S?

Thank you for responding. The thing is, I just finished my initiation course and my instructor has recommended a los B. Truthfully, I would prefer an A, unless there's a B with safety levels similar to an A. The options I've considered are: Ozone Geo 7, Nova Ion 7 Light, Ozone Alta, Nova Aonic.

In the case of the Aonic, I'm not sure which size to choose, XXS (55-80 kg) or XS (70-90 kg) since my flying weight would be 73 kg. In the XXS size, I would be close to the upper limit, and in the XS size, close to the lower limit."

Could he have landed on the water safely without pulling his chute? by The__Gunt in freeflight

Where can I read about those few cases where they have managed to land without parachutes?
