0:32min best looking wing on planet. cheers avery on your new adventure. wish you happy flights and no reserve throws. listening to the silence in the beginning is the reason i fly electric. i love to climb up a bit and just shut motor off. gliding is so peaceful...
Freeflight seems so peaceful, definitely on my list! What camera were you using for the flight, it was super clear. Fly safe and keep the videos coming, they're great!
Did you buy the Vantage wing? Or did you borrow it. I saw that you did a vid when you demo it but I have not seen any video where you decide to purchase.
Borrowed from Mojos Flight School, it's a teaching wing. I would've loved to buy the vantage as my first, but now looking at a reflex with a bit more performance for my next wing.
What little bubbles there were, they were close to the slope and not large enough to turn in. My instructor chose the day for smooth sled runs, so this was expected for me.
@@AveryFlies yeah was a good choise on my first flights i would also rather have a chilled elevevator ride down to the valley instead of dealing with thermals first try. i prefer flights aroun 20-30min. any longer than that i worry i would have a proper barf session on landing 🤢🤣
No, they're a bit more cumbersome than paragliding. Not quite as portable. I have to store my gliders in a 1 bedroom apartment, so paragliding is the one for me haha
Incredible!
Looks like an awesome time. Thumbs up

Ha... I'm listening to the vario thinking... "..c'mon... get some lift... c'mon.... c'mon..." LOL Nice landing.
I know, it was just too early (11 am) to get anything good
Sweet!

Its a private spot called Doyle's, get in touch with WNC Paragliding for access or training.

Nice! How long was the training? I might make a drive over there some day soon and take a class. Always wanted to try free flight.
It was a good 8-10 hours of online book learning, then the morning of flying
Were there really no thermals? Skies looked promising. Should be easily enough happening at 11am. What did RASP say?
