Hadn't flown the piuma but it looks great on paper , if you could only have one glider the icaro or freedom is the way to go , way more performance than the falcon but turns just as easy
From the description, the glider featured in this video would seem to be a new design. What make and model is it? I'm interested in any pilot reviews available about it.
Nah she's old , the new one is the icaro 2000 , mine is 10 years old and is the icaro relax , the other glider my mate was flying was a north wing freedom , both have fibreglass tip wands and Mylar leading edges but still have an open cross bar , check my other vids its on a few more
Nice flying! If you happen to see Rob Hiberd please tell him that Ben Deptula in Alaska said Hi!
Will do
How does the performance of the new icaro (piuma?) compare with the freedom? And how much better are both compared to the falcon, in your opinion?

Nah , had a mate stand on my nose cone at 1000 feet 😆. This time we were racing to the point 👍
