Thanks for the video. Definitely adding this glider to the list of gliders to move up to. I’m on the UP Dena (high-A) with about 50 hours after training, and planning on flying it for at least another 50 before moving up to the high-B category, but this seems like a good option.
It is a 3-2 hybrid a-b-c in centre only a-b on the outer 2 cascades of lines.www.flowparagliders.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Freedom2-LINE-PLAN.pdf
Waiting for a review in more turbulent conditions. The conditions from this video are safely flyable, even with an EN-C glider, by any pilot good enough to fly an EN-B.
Thanks Bondo. As I mentioned with winter in Australia thermic conditions slow down, I'm looking forward to some stronger days also. I think the Freedom 2 still feels stable regardless.
Hey Richo Its a hard answer to give as some pilots out of school are far more capable than others. But as a good measure 50+ is probably a suitable measurement, all low hour pilots should talk to a CFI to get a better idea of what wing is suitable for them.

Look forward to testing the F2 up here around Canungra
How are raisers divided? Are there lines A B C?
Some claim it's a 2.5 hybrid. On the official website they say 3-2 hybrid.
Can you explain the lines?

I flew the Freedom 2 in normal alpine thermic conditions and it is still the most stable and safe feeling high-B I ever tested
Would be cool to get some update now you are midseason down there
I will do another video soon!
Who would you recommend this wing for? Ambitious just out of school pilot or 50+ hrs pilot?
