@@ecoturismovalle1570 I am toolmaker. Nothing else. But I am saving money by do your self . On my channel you will find Videos, where I fly a rigid wing. This is designed and built by myself. To by one was too expensive for me. And the tandem is our club glider. And the WW Sport 2 is sold. And the Combat GT is sold. And the FOX is the glider of my wife. So I am only a enthusiast for hang gliding and other activities. I am not a rich man. I am living in a 52m² apartment with my wife. All others is only your imagination.

So the turbulence was right around the end. Nice thermaling with the sail plane. Few weeks back I had a flight in the worse turbulence ever. Totally wore me out.

[@elaeroplano]

This is the 2nd version of this video.
In the first edited video there is a scene short after launch, which shows a tard turbulence what I never had before since 1986 when I started hang gliding.
I started to turn right and suddenly the wing tas flipped to the left to Abo 60° bank angle within a second. I had this two times on this flight. I felt not save in flight this day.
Here the link.

@@elaeroplano yes I could see the stress on your face. I have had my wing lifted many times. The flight I mentioned, the negatives were so bad I eventually ended up hitting the keel. Hit the uprights several times.

[@hangie65]

Nice video and thanks for posting. I have a Combat C coming and I would like to ask you about the basebar fairings on your glider. Where did you get them? Thanks!

[@elaeroplano]

You get them at Falko Krüger in Germany.
Send some greetings from me. fluggeraete-zubehoer.com/alitd/kontakt/
Best regards, Olaf
