I’m wondering about the pitch you’re taking off from. Is that a private spot? All the public spaces around me are covered by bylaws, or they’re actually privately owned “public spaces”.
@@razzamattaz179 it’s private mate but I have obtained permission from the land owner. Unfortunately there’s too many people that complain these days 🤣
how does a single skin behave in a stall / spin / asymmetric collapse? It seems like without the cell structure it could be hard to re-inflate and hold shape.
This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. What is that screen that you have at chest level? Whatever it is, it looks like a great idea for monitoring data. I'm starting my paramotor training on August 3rd, so I'm trying to get some ideas for gear. Thanks for the information and your video. Stay safe!
@@DansEscapades Nice idea (how you have it set up - makes good sense). What app are you using? Looking into those as well. Thank you for your help and advice. I have so much to learn, but I love it! I used to fly small aircraft (Cessnas, Pipers, etc.) and there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about flying. I always loved low and slow flight, so I know I will love this! It's truly the purist form of flying one can do.
@@toddfoster1949 it’s deffo the simplest and rawest form of flying I think. The app I used to use was PPGPS - quite simple to use and easy to read. Now I use an app called Gaggle. It has more features on it and about 4 quid a month. You can get a “flight deck” that clips to the front carabiners allowing a platform for what ever you fancy- phone, camera, snacks ….
HORRENDOUS put us of cruising forever cold food toilets not working shows not good We where in above hurricaine statues absolutey teffified thoughr we where going to die Got a very limited time in Tromso and Narvik we where 5days and nights on that ship missed 1st on shore day buckers catcting dripping all round the ship. We have evidence because we took photos no compansarion for a holiday we couldnt go in the pool of the relaxing spa tubs Board nothing hoppening 4 people in a pantomime A Joke excuse the spelling please im in bed poorly it cost a lot of money on we thought would be fun 😅😅😅
Purchased mine in 2024 DOM 2022. I’ve never seen such trash. It looks like guy who made it was completely drunk. I was watching your review, but bought it anyway 🤷🏻♂️
Any chance you know of a Motor Trike video from England where the operator flies into a farmer's field & then pedals his trike into town to fill it with gas (petrol) then rides back to the field & takes off? I seem to remember it was a fixed wing trike but may have been a para trike. It was about 10 - 15 years ago I saw the video. I would like to find it again. Thank you.
I'd like to get into this sport. What worries me the most is I don't have or know anybody to fly with. I'd imagine it would be safer and more fun to fly with somebody else. If something would happen to go wrong it's just me. We all carry cell phones these days which is a plus tho.
Great advice. It does seem like the last loop on your deployment bag was pretty tight. It should come undone under its own weight, you shouldn’t have to pull it that hard, hopefully whoever packs your reserve will do a better job, sometimes the factory pack isn’t ideal.
@@DansEscapades great! Glad to hear you are better off now. I had a reserve that was like that from the factory, I had to put it in a deployment bag designed for the harness I was using, and luckily it is perfect in the harness (Woody valley gto light pod harness)’s deployment bag.
@@DansEscapades yes. It’s like insurance, I have to have it but hope to never need it. Unless you use it on purpose in a SIV over water. I didn’t during my SIV but plan to on my next one, I think it’s something we should practice.
Hi Pal, me and a few pals fancy this and are staying on the twisty road about 3 miles from Morzine centre.....You flew over where we're gonna be staying.........Which company did you use? cheers Michael
Hello .. IT is a good video, I would Like to know your height and the harness Size please, because I am trying to buy One and I want to be shore about Size, muy height is 1.78 mts barefoot and 85 kg. Weight. How confortable can be one or other Size for me M or L ? Thank you very much for tour comments. Best regards since México Isaac Gutierrez Sicila Paraglider Pilot
Very kind words, thank you! I haven’t seen one so I thought it wight be worth getting something out there. If it helps keeps people safe then it’s worth it
The tent is good once Iv got used to it bro. I’m not great with tents - but Iv got grips with it now. Good kit…. Just expensive my friend. If I had my time again I’d buy a tarp and just use that (but it doesn’t look as good)
Under £100 a night for an ensuite room and all your meals, laundry sports and gym facilities and entertainment included is a bargain. You can easily pay £80-100 a night on land and thats with no meals, no theatre, nothing included.
ouais je prends pas de parachute de secours parce que moi je suis un dieu tu comprends tu étais largement assez haut pour t'en servir quel message de merde tu envoies..👎👎👎👎👎👎
I love single skin gliders. I used to fly an air design UFO 21Meter. Responsive and stable. Poor penetration makes it a bad choice for ridge soaring but does very well thermalling in lighter conditions. One of my favorite.
Not yet I've flown the ozone f-light and the skyman skin. Overall I really liked air designs UFO there best. I'm always excited to try more stuff eagerly.
Hello, I use the Alctitude strobes, they are very powerful. They can be seen at more than 10 miles and last more than 8 hours on each charge. They have a wireless connection and can have up to 30 strobes with simultaneous ignition and flashing synchronization. They also have the peculiarity that they are completely repairable and all their parts they are achieved. I consider it the best option at the moment, due to its capabilities, power and low price.
Seems a little like operator overhead to me. That tent is probably in the top 5% of simple tents Half your video seems to be rant, which, honestly, evidences an issue not originating with the tent Not to be an asshole or anything, but ALL tents are pretty complicated until you figure them out completely. And if you don't camp often, you figure it out again each time! On it goes until you rip it, break it, or lose a crucial piece. Then you buy a new one and the cycle begins anew. God forbid you loan your tent out to someone😅. Nah, bruh. Besides price- the tent ain't your problem. That's okay though. Frustration breeds patience. I'm interested in a follow up. Did you use it once and put it away? Good luck on your adventures!
Thank you for the detail in this video Dan. You’ve answered questions for me that no other video did. I’ll be looking forward to your next video after you’ve flown it!
Air one pro for sure- I regret getting rid if I’m honest mate. The retracta trike is not a trike I feel comfortable on. I don’t want to do a video saying how I didn’t like it - but I’d advise against owning one
@@DansEscapades I really appreciate the advice. Got in an accident a couple months back and looking to keep flying with a trike. Your videos are very helpful. Safe flying!
I understand its not possibly the best idea to criticise someone’s product but could you please give some ideas as to why you don’t get on with the this trike I’ve been looking at fabricating something similar so I can use my speed bar more easily ..
I don’t have the trike any longer or I would have done that- great idea! I think the take off stability comes from wing positioning and brake input more than the trike….the air one is deffo the best trike I have flown, by far the most comfortable !
Good Advice Dan mate, especially about getting all your stuff inside your vehicle. Its so useful to have the current real unbiased perspective rather than the adverts. 🙂
