In the last few weeks, I took my new FLX.2 through a bunch of tricks both at the coast and over the lake. So far, I’ve obviously not only done the basics but also some difficult combos such as the helico-to-SAT, SAT-to-helico, twister, and misty-to-SAT . . . . the wing does it all. However, the Rhythmic SAT proved to be a bit elusive last weekend as I mistakenly applied what I successfully did on the FLX to the FLX.2 and I had deflations on every attempt. I just couldn’t get it going like I did here.  But after some advice from one of my Austrian acro buddies, I made some adjustments and it started to work. The Deuce is a beautiful wing but very sensitive to a mistimed brake input or unintentional weight-shift and will definitely let you know where you go wrong. This incredible wing from Felix, Dav, and the rest of the design team will do everything if the right thing’s done . . . . at the right time. I’m getting over the water in a few weeks again so I look forward to refining my technique and getting the Rhythmic dialed in. In less than 2 months, I’ll be Avigliana, Italy representing the US in the World Air Games so I need to get ready!
