@@KristofferEngstrom thanks 👍

@@Husse43 thanks very much. I contacted a local pilot and he said just turn up and follow the rules on paragliding log book App. The wind direction seemed to change day by day and was occasionally strong. I went in December and really enjoyed it.

@@petejones482 Okey, thank you for the quick response :) I'm goning in november, hoping to have some good winds.

Hello, it's a great site. Maximum 400m ASL and don't fly past the radar dome. More info on ParaglidingMap App.

J'ai volé avec une baguette lors du dernier run. 😉

I first got an Ozone Firefly 16m, did about 15 short flights then bought the 13m Mirage, now flying an 11m Mirage. I'm light at 70kg.

@@petejones482 nice thanks for the quick reply! 13m maybe is small for a first Speedwing at 90kgs

@@MrTheXyo if you've got paraglider experience it helps. Starting on a 16m is a good idea to get used to the higher landing speeds and steeper approaches than a regular sized paraglider.

It is filmed with an Insta X3 360 camera on a selfie stick attached to the rear of my harness. You may see the shadow of it. The video is then edited with the Insta360 software to make a 16:9 video.

@@petejones482 ok. I asked specifically because I couldn’t catch it on the shadow, so it looked like some black magic !

Oh yeah it is clearer at take off indeed. Impressive run btw !

​@@pierre4322merci beaucoup 👍

Thanks Rob, speedflying is really great fun. I uploaded this so I can watch it on the big telly when I'm home and need a flying fix. Hope you're keeping well dude.

@@petejones482 I'm good ta, looking to get back into paragliding after a lengthy hiatus (ooo, 6-7 years I guess). Been watching a load of the Andre Bandarra videos and that Leavesley fella over last few weeks. Very uplifting and inspirational, so much so that I've bought a kit off ebay (gasps of horror lol). I've even written a history of the Eggmotor book. I got the wife and Brian at Cloudhoppers to proof read. Trouble is, Amazon just terminated my kdp publishing account as a note book I published had a trademark image within the front cover. So I'm appealing that but not hopeful. Other than that, tied up with househusband stuff, dog walking, shopping, etc., etc. Y'know, all the stuff that gets in the way of flying. Anyhoo, enough of my ranting. Hope all is good your end. Rob.

That's awesome 👍 I haven't flown a hang glider since before COVID, I've been paragliding and speedflying. HG is still in my blood.

Ain't no flies landing on my baguette!

About 20-24mph

Parlick on the Ribble Valley.

It depends on your natural feel for the glider and the conditions you fly in. In UK we have relatively calm conditions and the Miura feels very subdued. I've been flying PG since 2001 and gliders have improved massively in that time. For the last 4 years I've been flying an Advance Pi2 23m and it's a lot more 'direct' and 'positive' than the Miura, but the Miura feels extremely stable and secure in rough air. It depends where you will fly it and how you like your glider to 'feel'. Miura had long brakes and a 'solid' feel.

@@petejones482 I fly here in Germany mostly. Flatlands and alpine. The Mito is great for rough air for example.

@@petejones482 someone told me since I have flown the Mito I should skip the Muira because it's pretty similar and go straight for the Arcus 2 RS 🤔

Yeh, it's been a good year 👍

Pulled out a bit low from the last barrel roll.

I've updated the description 👍

@@petejones482 awesome!

Wasn't me buddy, we were flying near Dwygyfylchi last week though.

My big mistake was turning downwind too quickly to try to make it back to my van, there's a forest to overfly on the way, last flight after walking up 6000ft+ over 7 flights (ruclips.net/video/hDGReymzZdg/видео.html). The camera angle looking from below makes the brake position look worse, I realised I wouldn't outglide the slope so I slowed up and slid to a halt. I'm practicing flying on the rear risers, got a Mirage 2RS 13m now.

Thanks dude, I'm settling in to it, trying out trims and roll reversals, hoping to get some high flights soon and try riser control with and without trims.

It's a lawn mower throttle. Works really well.

The camera angle makes it look like a lot of brake. When I realised I wouldn't outglide the slope I slowed up and skidded to a halt on the smooth grass.

Thanks for the comment. It's a conical hill with a shallow slope, I was heading directly down and hoped to outglide the slope. It was made worse by turning downwind directly after takeoff. Totally my fault, I'd hiked up over 6000ft and had 7 flights from other hills by this point and the idea of flying to the van and having a cup of tea was a strong reason to takeoff. Straight away I walked to a steeper section and relaunched.

@@petejones482 ahhh gotcha, it so hard to tell what terrain actually looks like from action cam videos. Thanks for the reply! Won't do that again eh!

@@nickbraun2488 thanks. Lesson learnt 👍

Thanks, it was a great day👍

Thanks dude. Glad you've got the electric scooter registered 👍

Thanks, I was thinking about getting legs down and flaring but would've probably face planted so I slowed up and slid to a halt. After turning downwind I quickly realised I wouldn't outglide the shallow slope.

Hello Mike. Good to hear from you. Hopefully we're going to Olu Deniz again in September 🤞

@@petejones482 Really? I'd love to but a busy year ahead, getting married in April then heading towards retirement and traveling.

@@lieblingmike I saw on Facebook- you're a lucky man 👍

@@petejones482 don't I know it!

Thanks for the advice dude 👍

Thanks very much 👍

Pete Jones thanks so much 😀

I can't find any way to PM through RUclips?

Yeh, nosey buggers came to watch me pack up. A couple of years ago some cows trampled my hang glider.

Ohh no way!, haha, bet that was loads of fun!

Ohh forgot!, Cheers for the Sub Pete Mate!

@@cheggers1973 great fun, they licked my van as well. My own fault- I left everything in the field and went paragliding 😉

It's a momentary switch which powers the relay, the relay then energizes itself through the float switch, when the level rises and the float breaks the circuit the relay is no longer energized and shuts, cutting off power to the solenoid valve. Hope that explains it, I'm not great with electrics and drew the circuit diagram on paper to figure it out.

@@petejones482 Could you please share parts numbers or links to the relay & float switch? Great installation very neat.

This one is a 14hp Radne Raket 120cc.

@@petejones482 How much is it in dollars?

@@football_hd4994 try www.radne.se

Yeh, no problem. Try searching for Pete Jones location Preston on Facebook.

@@petejones482 Would a 26cc 4 Stroke take off like this one?

@@football_hd4994 absolutely not. This engine has 20+hp. You need around 14hp minimum, depending on your weight and which glider you fly. Most powered hang gliders use the Radne Raket 120cc engine.

@@petejones482 OK. Where do I find this engine?

@@football_hd4994 The ROS125 isn't made any longer. It's a standard paramotor engine in a homebuilt frame. You could use any paramotor engine.

It's Sean's wing, that was it's first flight. Sol Attak 20m, surprisingly fast for my 67kg skinny ass 👍

@@petejones482 Nice one 👍 I'm 85kg naked on my 20....but I try not to fly it naked 😁
