@@plejra To było gdzieś na południu Norwegii :) wędka to savage gear sg4, ale nie pamiętam która. Chyba 2,4m do 35g. Głównie te sg mam, pozdrawiam!

@@dewikingdon4367 😁thx!

Thanks! :D

Думаю, поэтому он это так любит😂

XD thx!

Too much gutting :)

Following roads, remembering cities or big landmarks like windmills here. Or using google maps :)

While it's true gliders can stall, this wasn't a stall.

You can fly the old guy hang glider, the ATOS.

@@SVSky Yep, those look like the ticket.

What you were talking about is control authority. If you get in a situation with rigid air craft, you have a lot more control authority than if you were trying to ride a bag of cloth through the sky.

@@markmcgoveran6811 Especially when you weigh 130 lbs.

@@johnfranborra it doesn't matter what your weight is it's a relationship between your weight and how many square meters of wing.

This is an interesting concept. The epsilon 9 made by the advanced company States clearly in the brochure for the wing.(this Wing will fly better and turbulent air if you put your hands up and let the wing fly. Then they recommend active flying. So is the company lying to me about this Wing dealing with turbulent air? It was the major statement that made me decide this Wing would be okay.

​@@markmcgoveran6811 In my experience, you still need to maintain contact with the wing in turbulent air, either with contact pressure brakes or with rear risers. There's a big difference between slight contact vs. flying around with 1/4 brakes or more, which apparently used to work pretty well with older wing designs and you still see beginners do when they are getting bounced around Had the pilot on the video pulled brake in response to the depressurization, it would have limited the size of the collapse, and thus limited the heading change+recovery dive

@@patrickswitzer628 thank you so very much sir for your response. I'm trying to learn to fly this thing. The interesting thing is there are two brake handles and they do a half a dozen different functions. The first function is stiffening if you don't hold on to the brakes and hold that little bit of feel you lose communication with the wing and no stiffening. Between Stowed on the snap and minimum sink, position for the brakes is that little bit of magic stiffness and a quarter brake is to much for cruising speed flight. You are trying to stabilize directly under the wing, moving forward between Best glide and minimum sink. Then you put other commands in beyond that like you weight shift. If you want to turn tighter than the weight shift you can just bump that inside break every 4 seconds . As soon as it starts to swing a little tighter, you're backing off the break again. It's like dragging a paddle in a canoe. You're active flying and you take a little shaving off one side and it swings that way. If you continue to apply the brakes on that side it will begin like that bump. Then you will turn and bank. The outside break acts like a thruster because you didn't put any brake on to widen the turn. Since you were turning the outside thrusting will need to be limited, or you'll fall down in a hole mathematically. If you are chronically stupid like I am you need to try to stay in that Stiffening range. Leave plenty of room do as much weight shift work as possible when turning.. remember when I was a boatman I was very smart and I had a long skinny boat. Now flying through the air on this thing, it's dawned on me there is no arrow head here.

Yes, they did nothing for 2 seconds, but I guarantee they started helping in the next two ;)

This pilot was unlucky that the collapse happened so close to the ground. Usually when higher up, the wing can re-inflate without much effort and everything is fine. Yes a collapse is a concern if you are flying on a gusty day, as gusts can be very unpredictable but one has to make the decision whether or not to fly - is it safe, are the risks too great? The exhilaration of free flying is incomparable. At take off, it’s the experience of the world just dropping away from below you that is always a thrill. I never got tired of that. I have had twisted ankles, had scrapes and bruises but always enjoyed my flying. I have had a few scary moments but it is a dangerous sport after all - it comes with the thrills. I’m too old and had too many other injuries now to want to risk any more. Also, it takes a lot of time away from family and I’m a grandfather now. Family has to come first.

I had the same experience. I can still recall the image of the grass rushing to me. Then boom, the wing reopened but still got a decent tumble. Lucky call.

Thank you!
