Great write up! I have the 5M AA and would love to find someone to trade me for their 3M AA.
I happen to have a 4m AA glide for sale in the US -- used ~15 times, one small repaired canopy tear. If anyone is interested, let me know and I'll send photos.

How did you manage to tear the canopy!? You shoot it with a bow and arrow or something???
It looks like awesome stuff, but in the Netherlands with the import duties and 21% taxxes on pretty much everything they are insanely expensive.
No doubt about that. They aren't cheap in the first place and adding taxes on top sounds brutal! Hopefully other brands are inspired to chase lower weights for better performance. I worry the parading craze is going to distract companies for a year or two.

Trade for a perfect 5M?

Flipped onto a Code stabilizer when I was careless in an offshore launch. I was surprised it tore, but it was a very small and clean tear and the aluula tape that came with it has held fine.

Yeah that's probably as good as new other than the aesthetic. I don't think tears propagate in these canopies either.
