HOW SAFE IS AN EN-A "SCHOOL" PARAGLIDER ? - NOVA PRION5
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 мар 2021
- It's difficult for a beginner to really understand how safe a school glider is. In this video I demonstrate with the most common flying incident how safe your Basic EN-A is.
Most of the paragliding accidents happen because pilots tends to overreact to any problems in the sky and they are just doing everything wrong. When I teach SIVs I try to show to pilots that their EN-A wings are actually very safe and that they can rely on it. If they don't understand or are in doubts it is better quite often to just let it fly and do its job.
For this test I have been using the latest school glider from NOVA the PRION5 XS. I was 2kg under the max TOW.

Fantastic! Thanks for showing us all these things!
Thanks for making this video. I fly a Mojo PWR and still have issues with fear. It's nice to see just how safe these wings really are. Thank you.
Wow that's great. I use my A wing mostly for those days I'm not on my game as he'll save me making silly mistakes every time!
Toujours au top 👌
je te suis depuis le début tu es toujours au top ! on est friand de tes vidéos so keep going !
Merci !
So so good and usefull this videos!!!! Thanks a lot
Thanks :)
very good , thanks
Great 👍 really nice video.can you tell if there is any difference between new and let’s say 100 hours of using glider?I mean safety point of view
Great video, very interesting!
Thanks :)
Good to know.
Nice video. I'd like to know where you are flying. It looks like St. Hilaire but it's hard to tell.
With this lens it's quite hard to tell what's happening
presque parfait, manque juste les sous titres pour les francais.
Je dit ca pour les adultes qui ne parlent pas 1 mots d'anglais et qui voudraient se mettre au vol libre.
Des videos rassurantes comme celle ci sont de véritables coup de pied au cul pour les gens qui rêves mais restent bloqués dans des peurs dont tu démontre bien le non sens.
En tout cas merci a toi, c'est deja fort sympathique de ta part, bonne continuation!
Perhaps someone here can help me ...... I fly Hang gliders, will be starting my PG course in 2 month ..... Is it worth buying an EN-A , or should I wait for an EN-B ? How much difference are the 2 gliders and what will I be losing with an EN-A performance wise ?
Would like to see a video on acro tricks performed on an EN A gliders..
I have actually done a lot of tricks on a entry level en B which is very similar. The result would be exact same :)
@@theoflies It would be great to see you do a series of acro runs on the Ion and the Mentor, and see the comparison.
C'est bien beau de faire tout ça dans un air tout calme... Ça donne quoi dans de l'air plus turbulent ? Dans des conditions pareils énormément d'ailes ont l'air sages
Quand ton aile ferme c'est pas parce que tu tires tes élévateurs, mais plutôt parce que ça bouge en l'air, un test intéressant serait dans des conditions plus violentes (sans forcément forcer des fermetures) mais juste voir comment ça tient
Wow
👏🏻
Safe with a name like Prion? ;-)
Nova branding dept needs to do some biology.
😅
Nice video !!
Im buy my EN A wing ( U Turn Emotion2) for ACC, but on DHV test that wing has grad DHV 4 ???
Just someone EN A wing have DHV 1 or 2 grade on test.
What is your opinion Theo about Emotion2 DHV test ?
Too old. Get emotion 3
@@SkywalkerPaul i sold that wing and buy brend new Icaro Pica for ACC :)
Tres cool de voir ca
Feras tu pareil avev la ion 6 ou une en B ?

Theo, do you recon it would behave much the same without your weight shift input and brace against the riser?
I saw no real weight shift in the whole video?
What is your opinion on starting pilots progression into highB gliders?
if the pilot is flying a lot and has a decent feeling in the air on A/ low B gliders would you recommend buying a high B as the first glider, at around 40 mountainflights and before pilot certification.
In what country have you been trained? I've done something similar, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to the average pilot... And I did an SIV straight away with my old and new wing to compare...
@@mcbrite I am being trained by Dutch instructors in Italy, bassano and ahornach. Bought the wing after asking the instructor and he said the wing isn't to high for my skills at this point, already flew it and I do like the responsiveness. But I also realise it needs to be flown differently then A/low b. Already have 6 weeks flying scheduled for this year and a siv course at the end off the year
@@mvn4844 Sounds good! What's the wing? - I think considering what you just told you'd be fine. First concentrate on making the "active flying" (controlling pitch with the brakes) automatic. That together with the SIV and maybe a bit of ground handling (early) should see you alright!
@@mcbrite The wind is a airdesign rise 2, from 2015 and yeah i know active flying is the most important part, ive got it pretty much down :) dont think he would recommend the wing if i was stil strugling with that
@@mcbrite Please!!! make another video with a mentor! And tell NOVA to get a dealer in UK, there is none! (at least, listed on their website)
would be cool to see it from a outside perspective..
C'est assez rassurant de voir l'aile se reconstruire aprés une fermeture totale comme ce que l'on vient de voir...!!
Very interesting...I wonder what low Bs are like
Here you go : ruclips.net/video/NE4L9i4swc4/видео.html ;)
I have a mid-B Element Water and it'll lock into a spiral. Of course it has been abused quite a bit :O)
@@sandrainthesky1011 I've literally NEVER heard of that glider and I'd like to think I keep up to date on most of the new gliders from pretty much all the bigger manufacturers... Almost to the point of being a little autistic about it...
Especially if it's been abused, you should send it off for a check, especially the trim!
Sniff y a plu les sous-titrages en Fr
It´s not really a beginner thing to support one side while collapsing the other...
HOW SAFE IS AN EN-C please :)
little xD

on est trop fort en france, on fait des vidéos en anglais et les anglais font des vidéos en anglais ! le but c'est seulement un max de vues ! pauvre france !
En faite on fait des vidéos en anglais parce que en France on ne paye pas les athlete français. Donc les athlete français ba ils travaillent pour des marques étrangères et ces marques étrangères ba elles parlent anglais.
@@theoflies je comprends mais c est terriblement frustrant d avoir un athlète français qui fait de super tutos ...en anglais ! Donc rien contre toi mais contre le système qui est biaisé... Bons vols
Et faire un micro effort de compréhension ? Parler anglais en 2021 il n’y a que les français pour continuer à dénigrer. Franchement le temps passé a râler pour avoir des vidéos en français sous titrée français PARCE QUE c’est un athlète français...
@@ludovicbernard5371 That is because la France is not la Grande Nation anymore. Louis 14 is out of business, and so are Napoleon 1 to 3. Sorry to say that. Ca c'est pourquoi!
