Flying in turbulent air on a paraglider 

Lol

Strong regional wind, strong valley breeze and narrow valleys, humidity, and lee side both from the regional wind (near the summits) and from the valley breeze (caused by terrain).

I don't fly it anymore. But during the 500+ hours on it, I had only 3 massive collapses - 2 asymmetric and one frontal. The latter you can find in my videos. The glider is very stable and collapses late, but when it does, things quickly get very dynamic.

@@dymanoid Thanks for the feedback! Many more good flights to you this year!

70-88 is the range, I am @ 89 all up.

If you'll have a look at the video description, you can find out that it's a Sigma 10 😉

@@dymanoid oh i see, thank you

Ja, warum nicht? Bitte einfach einen Link zu meinem Video oder zum Kanal als Quelle hinzufügen - und gut ist 👍

Thanks for watching :) I prefer to fly one wing in all conditions, this gives me the confidence 'cause I know what to expect. Indeed, you can choose a different ('easier') wing for the turbulent weather, it's a personal preference, I believe. My personal feeling is that we should fly gliders only we feel comfortable on in the strongest air. I won't suggest you anything, but if I was thinking 'wow this wing is too much for this air', I'd definitely consider stepping down to another ('easier') wing in general.

@@dymanoid yeah cool man, great reply, that was good to read and made some solid points. How many hours do you have up if you use a log book in your country? They’re very strict over here in Aus, everything involving aviation is all under CASA, civil aviation safety authority, the big dog who governs all things fly Iggy related, so now our decades old HGFA hang gliding federation of Australia, but stay with me here, we fly under SAFA sports aviation federation of Australia * now breathe as I think I went blue just then haha Hit me up again dude, I like the way you think, it’s clearly working for you. Peace homes ✌🏽

@@patrickswayze2596 We're not required to log the flights here in Europe, but I do that anyway - just for my personal statistics. I believe I have something slightly over 800h as of now.

@@dymanoid oh wow! That’s some serious hours brother!,, very impressive 🙏🏽 Huge respect man, that’s a lot of hours. Over how many years have. You been flying?

@Patrick Swayze It's not that much, some people fly 800h a year. I make 250h a year at most and fly since 2016.

They're thems smartphone. please be inclusive

@@Florian24 Sorry but, no one forces them to use a smartphone while flying.

@@Florian24 thems is not correct. It's their. Please be grammatical. But really i dont give a flying fuck about inclusive so disregard.
