many have warned me about the wing, it is much more dynamic in colapases than the Ozone Alpina 2 that I have flown before, but I have trained some 20 accelerated assymetric collapses on the wing and I have learned that with a very strong break impulse I can control the wing departure quite well and thus I have thought that I got it,...then this has happened at 80 % acceleration.

It flew nicely, optically no signs of excessive wear. 2 flights before it torned on one location after a side collapse. I inspected it and repaired using sail-tape, then tested including spirals. I thought I solved the problem and then I did the full accelerated front collapse....

    It didn't shoot that far? Looks like a perfectly fine stall exit and catch, the wing wasn't behind you, except you weren't quite hands-up all the way, if you are too slow with hands-up it will actually shoot farther (counter-intuitively, it's a little difficult to explain), but the wing didn't seem close to losing pressure yet - the danger here is actually of going negative if you are too keen to brake it and it goes slightly asymmetrically I suggest you start doing higher and higher pendulums (above water) until the wing front-tucks in front of you, so you see exactly how far it can go till the wing loses pressure

Hands to hips is exactly how you're supposed to catch any major shot. And you're nowhere close to touch the wing even if you'd let it go - which people do notoriously during SIVs without major consequences. It takes more to get wrapped. Especially on such wing.

      @@paraglidingSafety it's a matter of trust, you need to trust the rear risers. I'm flying a Rush 6 and felt the same insecurity until I start actually using them... regularly! You should use the same active piloting as with brakes but on a much more tight range and it feels weird at first... but you try to keep constant pressure, read the wing feedback and act the same way as with brakes. But the best part is that you can pull those risers really hard if necessary (strong sink, for example) catching the wing moving forward with virtually no risk associated to over braking, because the profile and the pressure in the wing are not affected. Sometimes I find myself almost doing pull-ups on the rear risers if necessary 😅 I hope it helps... 👍

    zeolite made it a no event, but look at your position before the collapse, head in between of the risers and shoulders pushing on them. That's not a balanced position you want to maintain. It's what many pilots do when they get stressed, which causes lost feeling and delayed reaction. Something to be looking at when you're out of comfort zone

I'm high-end b-wing and I'm thinking you have something even better for you. I noticed in your active flying a great subtlety that caused the nice flat turns. Could you please compare your wing and your place in the weight range and your aspect ratio, to my epsilon 9? I am flying right at the weight limit suggested for the biggest Wing they had. I watch your video straight through and I had my hands up pulling every time you pulled and tried to feel the turns and get a free pass on a little bit of muscle memory without having to pay by making a hard landing. I love you for posting this to help me get a feel for what the hand motions are but I want to be sure they're fairly close to what I need when I start to fly.

I told them I want to learn to fly one wing. I unfortunately do not have the opportunity to learn to fly with a bunch of people in place with a lot of people fly and everybody is watching you like the instructors used to flying in and the instructors used to teaching people to fly in. When I leave the school I will be in charge of the number 13 cloud-seeding squadron. I'm going to fly the sky and take a box of cornstarch up in the air and seed clouds to make it rain. Then I'm going to go and tell everybody my friend Jeff lets me fly on his farm is Rich because I Make It rain extra at his house but he won't admit it. Then I'm going to be invited to fly from all sorts of good places in my area because even if they don't believe I can Make It rain they won't be able to not take a chance on letting me try to make it rain at their house. I feel blessed that I have the money to buy the epsilon nine. The harness fit me the wing is the biggest one they make I fly right at the top of the weight range. The company said if you put your hands up in turbulence the wing will fly better then I can fly it. I studied seven years of electrical engineering college and I believe in mathematics and for me I can't think of anything funner than sitting in the seat trying to lean and steer and keep my hands up. They tow me for a launch. I have 1000 m square target to land because it's flat and open there. My first landing I'm going to unbuckle my chest strap and leaned Way Forward so my legs will be under me. I'm going to come down out of that sky with my teeth bite my mouthpiece flying a trim speed standing up from the last hundred feet of altitude. I'm going to try and stabilize my descent by weight shifting to keep my wings level and put my hands up come down at trim speed. When I get 1 m above the ground I'm going to jam on my brakes as hard as I can as fast as I can bite down on my mouthpiece as hard as I can, and accept the landing. I seem to be the only human being on Earth, that thinks I can't picture in my mind what a swoop landing looks like from the pilot seAt. I seem to be the only person who thinks if you give up the pitch axis and focus on the role axis you can land after a long approach, somewhere in this great big giant flat place in front of me. I eliminate the problem of trying to hit a spot without enough skill and running into a swinging action, land on the ground on my back.

      how strong the wing deforms is defined by how deep and how long you hold the breaks - if done deep and long enough to deflate the wind completely, all possible deformation may happen. The trick is to stall the wing and at the same time keep it inflated so that it keeps the form and doesn't deform, but you cannot expect this to happen on a first stall ever, and breaking more keeps you on the safer side regarding possible aggresive leaving stall by wing shooting forward, see my other video demonstrating that :)

    How did this affect the feel of the wing when it popped back out with the tear? I'm just starting out and learning around handling and I flew 15 feet in landed on my face. The wind was too fast for learning. I started out with the idea of learning the smallest thing first and polishing it in as well as I could because this is called flying for a reason. I build the wall I let the wall down I built the wall over and over about 15 times just playing with it barely standing up just a little. The instructor said I should go ahead and jump the parachute straight up in the sky. I built the wall of the windows light and then the wind was rising and I knew it I just didn't do the right thing and I pop that epsilon lineup at a 45° angle look like the side of a barn flying over. Yanked me forward 15 ft that I should have been running as soon as I pulled those strings and realized I was on the wrong end of the wave the wind was building the parachute was going into the kick like a horse angle and I should have been trying to run under it. When you run under it like that there's really no organized weight pulling on the strings in the systematic way against the laminar flow so you don't have to run that fast just to keep the weight off of it I have later concluded. It was 9 mile an hour wind. I should have waited until the wind was dropping with a real low wall , Rush forward when I feel a little bit of light under the brake side of the wing so I don't get yanked. That's the next Atom. First polish and build the wall a little bit in and out then get the wing overhead and try to kill it instantly. I'm going to make that three-part drill a piece of my soul, before I fly any farther. Turn it on turn it off. My first absolute safety rule is put your harness all the way on or take your harness all the way off. I'm on a quest for more safety rules and simplifications. I will be flying all alone with no one to say hey your legs strap needs hooked.

      @@paraglidingSafety I'm only learning ground handling and where I live the surface of the Earth looks like a prune. It's all farmland mostly and mostly good landing zones. I'm going to be the only one all alone when I fly. I've been watching a lot of videos and I figured my best money is on the top landing on top of those big farmland hills. The speed gradient should be miserable because of the texture of the land and in those valleys there might be sink from hell. We are far from the ocean and anytime the wind is blowing it has about a 15° shift back and forth. When you determine the wind would shifted to the West it was just by implication all of a sudden there's massive sink but a high rate there's nothing to explain it so it must be a West wind? Generally to determine wind direction people fly in a circle two or three times and check for the drift. My other question is did you know about that landing field ahead of time and is that where you were headed? They say when you buck a head wind your glide ratio can go down to one to one. It look like you had to do a little bit of s turning to blow off some altitude. If your glide ratio drops to one to one and you're 5,000 ft above ground level you can still go almost a mile. Where I live if you get sinking air you probably are not going to be very high above the ground and you're going to have to land right here right now. I really appreciate the discourse back and forth. My mom died left me a little tiny bit of money and I spent a lot of it getting an epsilon nine, and buying the lessons to learn to fly it.

      @@markmcgoveran6811 the way you describe your flying area, I don’t think you have to be concerned about what happened to this pilot. Grenoble is in the middle of multiple massive mountain valleys. The pilot was flying in between them. Flattish farmland flying shouldn’t require consideration of valley wind flows.

      @@richardgillespie9549 thanks for the advice. The wind shifts 15° here, pretty much whenever it's blowing. I figure there's going to be places where there's a rotor and then not and then a rotor and then not. I also figure they'll be lift then not then lift then not then lift then not. There should also be a relatively large speed gradient, I believe the speed gradient here would change if the wind shifted as far as it did on the back side of the mountain, in this case. When I was growing up I sat in math class. The little boy next to me had one question the same question every day. What am I going to use this for? I'm the opposite of that I try to pull in all the information I can I enjoy studying and learning. If I ever get rich I might go somewhere and fly in a place like that and if I'm flying here every single thing I study, will help me form a judgement. When I leave the school, I will shake everybody's hand. Then I'm going to go and fly alone. I have one great big giant launch zone it slopes a bunch of different ways. This is because I have a farmer who is going to let me fly from his farm. I'm going to try as hard as I can to fly up to the bottom of a cloud throw out 5 lb of cornstarch, and make it rain. If I can get this to happen even one time my friend will make an extra $10,000. If this works or if everybody thinks it works I will get invited to fly from all sorts of farms in my area. My mom died and left me a little bit of money and I used it all to buy an epsilon 9 and the lessons to fly. I'm really heavy on the wing. I think I had the luck of the gods having that used epsilon 9 turn up in my weight class. I love everybody a little bit and the people on here to take time out to tell me anything I appreciate it. I'm going to try to do all my turns on weight shift alone, at first because there's no traffic problem to worry about. Pilot error is the big problem, so I am working on a minimum input flying style. The epsilon 9 manufacturer says it would fly better in turbulence, if you just put your hands up and let the wing fly, however active flying is recommended. Some very talented pilots I talked to said if I just put my hands up whenever there is an emergency the wing might go through a bunch of violent contortions blowing off all that extra energy. I don't mind that as long as I can just sit there and take my medicine. After I get just a basic set of controls worked out, I will fly as much as I can and get more experience and get a better feel for things so I don't commit a pilot error.

    Hi Rafal, you actually did a lot of good things here. I bet you practiced a lot of asymmetric collapses. They are easier when flying in normal speed, and when you keep holding the collapsed side until you achieve a stable flight again with some body shift and brake input on the opened side. Coming in to the asymmetric with extra speed, it becomes difficult to hold the a lines in with the wing closed, without it reopening itself. As it does, it's already sideways and behind you, and you have extra momentum - which means a very big and uneven surge forward of the wing. That should start sounding familiar! You can't let the glider over fly you because it will normally collapse, but in your case even worse - you were close to getting gift wrapped! A major problem indeed. If you pulled a BIG frontal from 80% speed you would have been ready to stop the glider from over flying you after it reopened, right? So that was the thing that you were missing here. When you feel like the glider is flying forward in such speed, you have to brake it as strongly as needed so it won't collapse after it shoots forward. I'm flying a two liner and it is impossible to keep it in a collapsed configuration by holding any of the A lines. That means it's not possible to practice ongoing frontal or asymmetrical collapses (without additional folding lines, which practically nobody is using on SIVs). So practicing these maneuvers is always very prompt and quite violent, and I can't really practice weight shifting while on asymmetric collapse because I can't keep it collapsed. The same happened to you, so the advice you were given to do more weight shift is really not that helpful when things are happening quickly. You did have to manage the forward surge better though. Good thing you didn't get gift wrapped. You entered the stall very smoothly, nice! I might go a little quicker and deeper with the brakes to be 100% sure I'm going into stall, and not holding the glider very close to where it can easily shoot forward and exit the stall in a heartbeat. (Or, into a helico.. since one side reflies when the other stalls. So equal hands below the backfly position (below carabineers) is a good starting point) The cravatte you got on the stall's exit - might have not happened if you let your hands up completely when letting the glider refly. You want a big surge of air coming in the cells and inflating the wingtips. Then you'd want a sharp pump on the brakes to stop the glider from overflying and also to again, hopefully use the internal air pressure and glider speed to clear out any wingtip cravattes. If I were you and I had that little cravatte after stall exit, I would probably restall it immediately. Hey, I got altitude and I'm over water. I'm probably there to practice my stalls anyways! Just stall it again and learn how to exit with straight wingtips! ;) Wingtip cravattes really becomes more dominant with higher aspect ratio wings. But clearing out the cravatte by pulling individual lines is the right thing to do when the cravatte is small enough. So again - you did well. Oh and one last thing. If you were to actually be flying on the speedbar, you would be controlling from the C's, right? And hopefully if the air was turbulent, you'd be stepping off/stepping down the speedbar. So flying smart and actively should reduce your risk of a large assymetric collapses with lots of speed. Thanks for sharing! I hope my comment helps you or other pilots to learn from this incident!

    • @AvengerIl

      My Take away from this, im a enB/enC pilot thinking about 2-liners, is that when it collapses on one side, other than weightshift and opposite break - which you mention on 2 liners things happen too quickly anyway - is to be ready to pull the collapsed side break hard to keep it back, dont let it shoot forward too quickly. previously the advice ive read is - prevent the collapse with a jab - but if youre a little too late dont jab because youll enter a stall. So, trying to reconcile all this new advice, seems like you need to wait 0.2s after a collapse before jabbing. ie not making it worse, but stopping it from shooting.. am i roughly in the ball park?

    • @paraglidingSafety
      @paraglidingSafety Год назад

      thank you very much for sharing the helpfull insight! I did not realize the surge :) either 1. I was to focused on breaking the open side as soon as I notice the direction loss - that is what I had been training here, or 2. I my reaction time to the wing movement that I hadn't anticipated was just too slow - once I had a very stong surge forward after messing up a stall, another video on this channel :), but that time the the wing was a low b and the surge was in my decision tree, thus anticipated, and I have reacted correctly. now that I understand what has happened, I will try to train it, for this, I would prefer to take a step back to a bit less dynmaic wing but the problem is that I ve trained hundreds of asymetric collapses on other wings, geo, chili 4, delta 2, and dynamic reactions like these I ve experienced only on the sigma.

      in theory backfly is a simple thing, and different ppl progress with different speeds, in my case I had very little prior mnouver flying experience, thus little feel for the wing, and I was scared. Training anyway and having experienced pilots around giving me feedback was the key.
