Hi, I'm sharing this page with my little son florian, we are from Switzerland. My son is a great fan from wii games and I'm a great fan from paragliding. I did my first flight with a paraglider in 1987. Since then I flew more than 1400 times, but since I'm a dad paragliding didn't comes first. Regards Beat and Florian
Ganz am Anfang bei 5s. Ja das waren noch Zeiten. Leider war die Qualität des Tazzari Zero nicht so gut und ich musste diesen in defektem Zustand verkaufen. Heute fahre ich ein Tesla Model 3.
Danke RU-vid, dass du mir das Video nach über 12 Jahren vorschlägst.... ABER... cool zu sehen was sich in den izwischen 30 Jahren in der Technik der Schirme getan hat.... krass.....
Yesterday, when we were young. But... we are still cool, I guess! Thank's for sharing. I started my flying with hang gliders, back in 1979. To this day it's the most exiting way of flying. I have flown everything from P-51's to helicopters, small jets to big ones and I am still flying 747-8's. But apparently I'm too scared to jump off cliffs and mountains. Getting older? Greets from Switzerland. R ✈
I learned on a seagull three which was basically a Rogallo wing. Sail flapped like a buss saw so loud you could hear it from the ground. Very forgiving launch and landings made learning easier. It was never supposed to leave the training hill yet next thing you know I was flying it thousands of feet in the air with no parachute. Learning to fly was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life and has never left my mind. Although I don’t fly like that anymore my UP comet hangs above the basement door since 1990 waiting for wind in the sail. Gotta say hang gliding ruins you for other sports as nothing since ever compares to that life.
Yes I remember the high tech addition of luff lines on gliders like mj5 etc. Apparently the seagull 3 could luff to the ground from a high banked turn but first you had to try get it into that turn. That thing took forty acres to make a 360 so a wingover was unlikely. Aerodynamics aside it was such a thrill to fly any glider back then unforgettable really
I learned on a Manta Wind Lord and bought a Seagull Seahawk in 78. I would call what I saw as second generation (lower billow that the original) and no Deflexors.
Hi, yes I do. This year I bought a Gradient Nevada and I'm very happy. But the weather doesn't allow me to flight. You can search my flights on XContest. Kind Regards Beat Dolder
@Hruodger88 Hallo, der Comet CX galt als sicherer und gutmütiger Schirm. Es gab hier auch andere wie der Trilair mit denen ich mich nicht in die Luft gewagt hätte.
Beautiful, just beautiful. What could be done with the old Rogallos equals anything that you can do now with the latest wings. OK, glide angle and G-ratings don't compare, but the thrill must have been epic! H&S, what's that? Helmet? Pah!
@thewebmaster93 Negative. Nasa was not interrested in the design. Rogallo designed them in his own shack, in his own time. After he showed his 'devices' nasa was interrested again and funded the development. We have to thank Rogallo for his invention. Blue Skies & Happy Landings!
Hallo, wenn Du auf Google nach EV_Swiss suchst dann findest Du dort den Link auf meinen Blog. Dort findest Du meine Erfahrungen mir dem TAZZARI ZERO. (Ich kann hier leider diesen Link nicht posten). Ich habe mittlerweile 5000 km zurückgelegt. Im Sommer erreichte ich im normalen Modus über 120km und bei -10°C immerhin 83km.
Schöne Tour :) Wie weit geht's wirklich mit dem kleinen - "bis zu 140KM" ist mehr als schwammig und sicher nur im Eco-Mode zu erreichen. Der Lokale Vertrieb hier preist ihn mit 100KM an. Ich überlege, ob sich der größere Akku der Special Edition lohnen würde. Macht sich der Eco-Mode auch in der Endgeschwindigkeit bemerkbar?
@jonnny205 Ich legte dabei 77 km zurück und benötigte dafür 9.93 kWh (Steckdosen Verbrauch) was etwa dem Energieinhalt von 1 Liter Benzin entspricht. Diese schöne Rundfahrt kostete mich also so etwa CHF 1.90 Strom :-)
@ivaniclixx July 2010, is not that old. The noise is lesser than the first version was, but still there. In my 2500 km I droved until now, the noise never disturbed me. I like this sound, believe me I would miss.
I started flying in 1992. When I saw this video in 1995 I found it beautiful as well as the good metch with the music. Now I think the same, but with additional feelings. Nice memories!
In Argentina now they are still used only in very low hills to learn to fly. They were very dangerous because of the ausence of battens. If they fly very speed, they use to produce a "flag effect", stop flying, and you couldn't return to fly before die.
