Det är Karlstad.

Det fanns gott om utrymme. Tror att brobanan är minst 50 meter över vattnet i mitten. Valde denna bro delvis för att det går att landa ifall motorn stannar. Vet inte om de möjligheterna finns för Askøy bron.

I think it's absolutely awesome. A game changer! I have the big battery which gives me 40-50 minutes of flying.

@@PontusEgnell That's all I needed to hear. Thanks! Keeps me going with my eppg project. Did you manage to balance 10-12 degrees back as by the book? Because you don't seem to be a heavy pilot. I'm only 68kg and planing to use a half hour batt. Does the SP140 come with a manual or some papers?

@@Seneslau07 I think I managed to get it quite well balanced. My naked weight is a little over 80 kg. There's no way I could measure the hang angle exactly because it's different when flying to when doing a hang test. It also depends on the posture you are having at the moment. I got some papers regarding the BMS but other than that you need to check online. Most of it was quite easy so I wouldn't worry about it.

@@PontusEgnell Ok thanks! I'm only 68kg and I want to build a half hr batt to keep the weight down. Now I'm about to order the SP140 frame. Do you think that besides the fun part of flying low, ocasionaly would be possible to catch a thermal and climb so prolonging the flight?

@@Seneslau07 Yeah it's definitely possible to catch thermals and theoretically stay up for 10 hours. Just be aware of the potential dangers of flying mid day. I find it a lot more difficult to find the thermals and stay in the core while flying paramotor compared to when paragliding. But I've done it and it sure does work. 🙂

05:30 - that’s a buzzard, not nearly as social as the hawk, would rather eat you than get to know you… 😳😁🙌🌎

They are vultures. They never attack paragliders unlike some others birds of prey. I guess they wouldn't mind eating a pilot that has crashed however. :) You can use the vultures as an indication of thermals. Sometimes they fly together with you in the thermal and sometimes they get scared and go find another one.

It is fun. 🙂

Thank you kind sir! :)

Thanks but it works just fine. That's how the handles are designed to be held.

Jag tror inte någon av vingarna var nära att ge upp. Det var nog piloterna som var i störst fara. :) Kursen var som väntat intressant och lärorik. Full stall var inte så otrevligt som jag hade hört.

To be fair you can't really see the curve of the Earth from this altitude. On the other hand you only need to go up a few hundred meters to see clear evidence that the Earth isn't flat.

@@PontusEgnell to prove the Earth isn't flat cats would push everything off of it.

Det blir ofta ett gubbstön efter jag landat har jag märkt. 😄

Taket är 600 msl och så jag ligger ofta strax under det med viss marginal så att ett eventuellt motorstopp inte blir så dramatiskt.

Thanks! This was basically straight out of flying school. I knew back then I wasn't supposed to hold on to the risers but apparently I did it anyway sometimes. I've stopped doing that now. At least I wasn't holding on to them very hard and I still had contact with the brakes. 🙂

@@PontusEgnell I kinda thought that....what a place to fly post qualification..wow!

@@glennyc01 Yes it's a very beautiful place. I wanna go back there now and see what I can do with more skill and better gear. 😄

Du är så välkommen. :)

Ja det är fint i Värmland. Du får komma hit och gästflyga i år. :)

Thanks! It was €16,500.

@@PontusEgnell damn if i only had that money lol :-)

@@Francio85 Since a few years the MiG-29 flight is no longer available. So you would have to buy your own plane now. ;)

@@PontusEgnell ahahaha i think it would cost me more than 16.500 bro ahah,but i read now its not available but i thought it was because of covid situation. maybe it will be back in future who knows.

Obviously I didn't. No air breathing aircraft can even get close to that.

Tack! Håller med om att det ser otrevligt ut på filmen med ett gigantiskt hav av träd. :) Det är emellertid inga problem att nå landningen ens vid nollvind. Det går även att landa på kalhygget/myren rakt framför starten.

Thank you kind sir!

Then sir, I give to you the film from my point of view. 😁 I am the one with the tangled lines. ruclips.net/video/aO14YrCedqk/видео.html

I counted six paragliders in the vegetation at the same time. A crowded takeoff is never boring. :) Retrieve was easy. Climbed over a barbed wire fence and walked to the restaurant nearby. It was closed so I waited outside for an hour before I got picked up.

Thank you sir!

Well worth the hike. 🙂

Thank you! I hope you succeed.

It was mid October this year.

Yes when the thermals are on it's very nice. Quite easy to do toplandings there also.

I think he said the speed is decreased. :D

@@PontusEgnell i should not work as an ATC🤣😂😂

@@president8 I agree it sounded like he said "speed is degrees". I had to listen to it a couple of times before I realized what he said. :)

I like it. Bought it mostly for its light weight and compact size but it is also fun to fly and has good performance for a B.

Tack! Termikflygning i berg är det absolut bästa med skärmflygning i min åsikt. Och det blir bara roligare hela tiden allt eftersom man blir skickligare och utökar flygmöjligheterna. :)

I så fall bör du inte titta på del 2. :D

Ja det var en trevlig resa. :)
