The more I read, the more I want to try. I noticed the area around the wing tips has a less drastic, more oval shape to it`s receding outboard, wing tip area. Just guessing, more lift at slower speeds??
Yes, that's absolutely right. It's about trying to get the spanwise distribution of lift as close to ideal (elliptical) as possible. This way, no part of the wing is working too hard or not hard enough so you maximise efficiency. The Puma (and Evo also) have exceptionally good min sink rates as a result and can climb well in very light conditions.
Most beautiful countryside in the world on a nice day
Nice , don’t see any in Australia,maybe in the future hey.👍🇦🇺
You found a Yorkshireman with a chequebook? Hahaha. Great demo flight, and I'm sure the client will be well chuffed.
looked hard work getting up timbo , well done
Good one, Tim. I would have gone land right at the beginning, before you shaved the trees...
Incredible to see new gliders from Avian! Is hg still popular in the Uk?
Wow! Nice place. Looks like some xc potential there.
Nice Flight
Хорошее пилотирование!
excuse me. can you give me the dimensions of this deltoplan?
I'm probably old fashion , with that height remaining I would not look for thermals I would aim for a pace to land LOL
Height remaining?! :lol:

Also, you should definitely give hang gliding a try. Go to www.hanggliding.co.uk for more information about the sport.
hahah super.Really good fight on parter :)
Thank you!
