Learning how to do TIP STALLS
|
|
|
Tip Stalls (B3/C3) are a relatively new descent technique that not many pilots know about. It is an effective alternative to Big Ears, but only on some wings – it depends on the wing design. It relies on the outer B or C line stack being in just the right position to create a neat stall that gets swept back in the wind. >> Read more

What customers are saying
"Top marks to Flybubble! I just bought new harness and they took so much trouble making sure I had the best fit for my particular body shape. There was no pressure to get the most expensive, in fact it turned out my best fit was the cheapest option. I couldn’t recommend them more. It was a very helpful and professional experience, many thanks guys." -- Richard, on Trustpilot

Safety Notice: Supair ACRO 4
Supair have identified an ACRO 4 harness with missing safety stitching. One of the shoulder webbings was not correctly sewn with the ventral cross strap, but only pre-glued before the automatic manufacturing phase. Although Supair perform two inspections of their harnesses, the procedures for the ACRO 4 were less rigorous before September 2019, so all ACRO 4 harnesses produced before September 2019 should be inspected!

They have also issued a safety notice for the SORA 2 tandem glider. We're impressed by their proactive approach to safety.
