See the latest Intermediate Glider of Gradient on the beautiful Island Madeira. There are detailled pictures of the gliders and the Flying characteristics.
I'm learning at the moment so not much experience. Golden 3's been recommended by my instructor and it seems like a great glider. But seriously the colours are hideous. It's not just the colours, it's the pattern too. Some may scoff at that but when you're spending this kind of money you'd at least want something that looks good. Yellow/white/gray is the only half decent one in my opinion.
Also, why the offset design on the bottom? Hard (for beginners at least) to tell where the middle is.
Tested last weekend an bought the green one. Can't wait to get it. The glider is very dynamic and gives you good feedback. Because of the strong winds I manged it to colaps the glider by 50% (the whole right side collapse) while beeing 100% in the speed bar. 180° turn (I was a bit slow) then break a bit on the left side, the glider opened immediately again. So it's also easy to handle as the collapse truely was a pilot mistake and flying in winds you shouldn't (It's called Fön)
