From planes, no tandem jumps that I saw

Yes we know 😂

[@lachlanrutherford8833]

so on a 2 liner now mate?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Back on it. It's just been tucked away for abit

[@darrenbrillant9309]

Why fly a 2 liner if u are struggling with fear of flying?

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Why do you think a 2 liner is not the answer? Having flown it for some time now, being closer to the top weight range, higher line loading and more solidity and less prone to collapses. Non of my wings have kept me down. The wing class is not the ussue.

[@darrenbrillant9309]

High class of glider (ar) equals higher workload, more information / movement etc, better reations if it all goes pop, ..... I dont care what u fly, we all make our own choices. U coukd.stepndown fprna bit and improve yr confidence. If yr not going far in xc, younalso dont need the extra risk while tryimg to build confidence.

[@Ripstop_pilot]

Both the Lynx2 and volt 4 are lower at than my old cure. The volt4 is less talkative and the harness I'm using is more stable. The class doesnt always determine the feedback, theres more to it. Wing loading line loading, harness adjustments etc. Plus I dont have a B glider nor the finances to get one. Gotta make do with what I have.
