    Hello from Ireland Nelson. Love your videos. I have a rush 6 and I wish I had it ten years ago. Waiting for the rush 7 to come out. What do you think of the swift. Too much strong wind and rough ground for a swift 6 here in Ireland. Cheers Frank Manning. Fly High and Safe.

      @@KilkennyLights If you've watched many of my videos, you know that we have strong winds here in the desert Southwest of the United States. I have owned both the rush six, and the Swift 6. The Swift 6 is just as good as the rush 6 at high wind launches. It does not hop around too much on the ground, and as long as you're good with the A's and C's inflation techniques, you can definitely keep a Swift 6 on the ground in stiff winds. It will rise a little bit faster once you start the inflation, but it's nothing that can't be controlled.
      If you watched or read the dust of the universe videos and blog, you would know that Ziad and many people think that the Swift 6 handles better than the rush.
      Of course, the rush 7 will be out before the swift 7, so that would mean more waiting. But you could probably sell the Rush 7 for a good price if you buy it first and then want to get the Swift 7.
      Thanks for watching! I envy your green grassy hills!

    So you deleted the "old" video and coments and posted this one.... nice to see that you have found a more stable light harness. This wing is smaller but seems to be taking you off the ground abit more agressively than other wings in your other videos.

      @NelsonsWings  22 дня назад

      @pedromarcos1472 thank you very much for clarifying! Regarding the launch problems, as I mentioned at one point in the video, it's a combination of the lightweight wing being a little bit more squirmy on launch, my poor technique, but also the conditions for many of these launches were turbulent. Because this is not just a regular flying video, I did not include the shots I have of the other pilots who were ahead of me, many of them having very similar problems. Of course, there were many pilots who had no trouble at all.

    I'd be scared that a thermal would take me to Alice in Wonderland. I'm scared to death of any type of flying. I only fly RC planes. That way I can stay on the ground and fly.

      @@AlpineDave7 so far I'm liking it a lot! There's only two things about it that bug me. I don't like the tight way it fits, because it squeezes my lower ribs. But that problem might be specific to my kyphosis, which already tends to make my lower ribs grind together because of the curve of my back. The other thing I didn't like about it was the unnecessarily tight fittings for the carabiners. I had to remove the cloth liners on the Spectra webbing that the carabiners go through, in order to fit my Parallock V3.
      I'm extremely impressed by the fabric that air design used on this harness. It's a very advanced material, light stretchy yet extremely tear resistant and sturdy. I tend to abuse my harnesses, and I've had a few scrapes on launch, and also some skidding landings. If it had been my delight harnesses, they would have been shredded and I would have either had to replace the pod or would have broken out the needle and thread for a lengthy repair session. On the air design, it came through completely unscathed, I was shocked and somewhat in disbelief. I would inspect it and inspect it, and couldn't find any tears at all!
      It's got a lot of excellent pockets, and I really like the big unzippered pocket on the right side which is huge and can hold all kinds of things that you might need quickly in flight.
      It seems to be very stable, easily as stable as my Delight 4. At 2.75kg for the size medium, it's fairly lightweight. Because of the inflatable protection, it packs nice and small. No problems with the fairing staying inflated.

      @@AlpineDave7 You're going to be right at the threshold between the medium and the large. If possible go someplace where you can sit in the sizes to decide. Because it fits very tight, you might be a little cramped in the medium.

    Without wanting to criticize, please review your takeoff technique, otherwise it is only a matter of time before..... . For example, look at your hands at takeoff 5:59 and 8:10, where were the drivers or brakes going? Pay attention to your right hand. greetings.

      @@todoxe I've been talking to two different instructors about improving my launch techniques.
      One thing that I've been working on, is to try to separate the actions of letting go of the A's and the B's from turning to face forward. Over the years, I have developed a bad habit of doing both of those actions simultaneously. I'm trying to consciously remember to let go of the A's and the B's, then pause slightly while I use the brakes to do the final steadying of the wing. Only then after the wing still seems stable, turn to face forward. During that turn, I need to remember to lean back a little and keep my hands either up or in an ideal position, not pulling too much brake. After I'm turned to face forward, then I should try to torpedo as aggressively as possible. Obviously, if I'm being plucked I won't be able to torpedo. Typically, where I fly, it's very strong and a torpedo doesn't work nearly as well if you're already being lifted off your feet. For those conditions, it's important to just keep your hands up and keep the wing under control.
