A nice little mix tape of ome speedflying and high wind soaring on my Bobcat 13.5 and Nano 13. I fly the Nano13 on neutral trim, its the best setting for my weight foot launching. The Bobcat13.5 im still getting to know. Its a totally different wing to the Nano but they both bring things to the table that the other cannot do. The final clip of the Bobcat i had the trims all off for the first time and it is fast, you cant appreciate the speed because of the strong head wind that day, it was blowing over 30mph on the ridge. All the PGs launched from the bottom and stay well ahead of the ridge for fear of getting sucked in and over the back.
Who says 13 is unlucky!
i have the bobcat 15 and want to downsize a bit,was a toss up between the swing spitfire 13 and the bobcat 13.5,this vid made me stick with the trusty ol bobcats,great wings,cheers:)

I am not dan, but I have done that construction too.
I have done it with copper, in case of a crash it will bend and your back will not have a hole ;)
I have bend it and have screwed a litte plate on the one end that the camera can not rotate.
on the other end I drilled a hole with the width excactly like the camera one.
but it is really annoying if a line gets stuck in the construction...
btw sorry for my bad english.

no, a 12.5 is ok for you. if you can control it perfectly you can switch a size down. I have 60kg, and have bought the bobcat shown in this vid from 0eden0.

hey mate,
I have 65 skydives and am after getting into speedflying. Wondered what wing you would recommend? Im competent under canopy and want something that will last me for a while.... adrenalin is something I need in my life... speedflying looks like the next step! I am looking at the nano09 12.5 and wonder if that will do me for a long while or whether due to my weight ill need something smaller?
Look forward to hearing from you mate and hopefully flying with you soon!
