How To Adjust and Set Brake Lines on a Paraglider 

Ya know, I've avoided shortening the brake lines on my mojo pwr 2 since I trained under you last summer simply because I'm afraid to mess with my controls and I've never been good with knots. This video just convinced me it would be worth it to at least try and see how the difference feels.

Excellent, thank you Micah. God bless Brother. 💯👍👍

Can you do a 2D control line setup video? Love this stuff!

I have exactly this problem with my new wing! Thank you!

Not sure if you’d be for this but I would love a video on energy management- specifically wingovers or assymetric on a beginner glider. How to safely start learning them. I would love to see someone explain it better and be on a beginner glider (I’m on a spyder) with a proper video angle showing weight position, hand position and glider position all in the frame so you can see all the inputs/outputs in the video and grasp it better. Especially when it gets bigger and outside brake is introduced. Have yet to see a video on a beginner wing that has all of this in frame to better absorb what’s going on for the beginners. I think a simple 360 cam ontop of the cage or stick zip tied to a swing arm out front would cover all that. All that would be left is some great instruction/explanation from a talented teacher….. To add to this the 360 infront for inputs and a chase cam in back showing where you are in the “swoop/dive” of the maneuver would be best. Confused on when to let up on brakes in the pitch axis and I think chase cam would show that best

Thanks, but what about tip steering toggs? I have some I need to install

You always provide informative videos. Thanks.

Thank you Micah.

Good stuff Micah!

Wow that’s amazing that basically two inches makes such a difference. (Giggity) My brakes feel a bit mushy on my new glider too. I guess a good way to test it without re-tying would be to grab the rope just above the toggle knot, and see if it feels different?

What wing is that?

I've been meaning to do this on my Dudek Solo for a while. I've heard of other pilots shortening the brakes by 4-5". Ideally I'd like to test out a few lengths, and was wondering about 3d printing some small loops or cylinders to wrap the brake line around and shorten it that way temporerily, with different sizes shortening the lines by different amounts until the right length is found. I've probably not explained that very well, but have you heard of anything similar? It would allow testing different lengths before committing. Thanks

So you are telling me I should get in a few flights in before I set the brake lines? I am still considering which type of machine to buy. If I get a high hook-in machine, I can Leave the lines the way they come?

Time: 4:00 this knot is not bowline. Please find difference: bowline vs cowboy bowline
