I just love your stuff You are by far the best instructor out there. Hands down. So calm and relaxed it transfers to the people who watch your vids Tks bud

Great video 👍🏽

I like your good advice as you keep it clear and simple, when we're flying we need to be clear-headed and decisive.

0:50 This is actually a highly individual thing. That grip (the "toilet handle") is the only one that for some reason allows me to feel the wing. Most others (the through-the-handle or "dragon grip") feel like I've lost connection with the wing. And the finger-on-the-line is the worst for me, I feel like I'm blind when I fly like that.

Love your channel. I watch your videos over and over so I can take these things to heart because I'm just learning to fly. When the brief time at the school is over and I've flown my flights and I shake everybody's hand and tell him goodbye, I'm coming home alone. There are no designated public launch sites here. I'm going to be flying alone off of private property in the middle of farm country with no one around. I heard if you put the brakes in the speed bar on at the same time you're very likely to get a twist. It was my general understanding of aircraft that the faster you were flying the less effect turbulence had on you you're in your out. The brochure from the advance company says if you just put your hands up and leave the brakes alone the wing will fly in turbulence better than you can fly it yourself. I have an epsilon 9 Wing. Would it be more stable in a turbulence if I was totally off the speed bar and totally off the brakes, or if I had full speed bar and no brakes?

@JockySandersonparagliding Год назад

Advance have a good point as using brakes while on full speed is counter productive. trust the speed bar and keep off the brakes. if you need to feel the wing then press the back risers. but always have the brake loops in your hands in case it suddenly deflates.

@@JockySandersonparagliding I'm old and I believe in mathematics. They said that pilot error was the worst thing going and pilot error was what made it worse. I see you have those mad skills and I love to study under you, I figure my best bet was to get up in the air with my hands on the brakes and then stow my brakes and weight shift for all my turns and fly as fast as I can. You can't get locked in a spiral dive that way. If it collapses and it's a B or anything else pretty much it will just puff back full of air and in my case I'm right at the weight limit so it will be a violent reinflation it may do several altitude losing actions as it reestablishes itself. The best thing about this sport is each person places his bet. Like a wingsuit they're fine and perfectly safe if you jump out of an airplane high in the sky and fly around a little while and pull your parachute. I don't think there's any problem going to occur in my flight the mathematics guy at that company has not addressed except one. Pilot error.

This is great I'm still at ground-handling stages and I'm waiting for my first flight and what am I going to do the minute I get turned loose from the Tow? If you are a very lucky student you will float around in the air for a little while trying to figure out how flying works and then you will make a landing that isn't too brutal to come back from and try to fly again.

6:14 And that's another thing I have a problem with: it seems the vario beeps always a second _after_ I feel the lift. So I turned the sound off, it seems to work much better that way. Maybe my vario is just too old or something but I mostly use it for two things: as a sink detector (unlike lift, sink is almost never noticeable by feel) and for checking ground speed when gauging the wind direction or to avoid blowback, etc. My vario is Flytec 6015.

@JockySandersonparagliding 3 года назад

start counting when you feel the lift not when you hear the vario. the flytec is good. also try thermalling with it off and you will be surprised at how natural it feels

@PhilippeLarcher 2 года назад

some new varios and smartphones have accelerometers to avoid the lag

I love you man but I hope I never ever have to soar close to the edge of a stone. I think in terms of wingspan. If any of my glider is within three wingspans of another surface it is an emergency. Just because it flies slowly and precisely doesn't mean a human being can see well enough to fly it. Proximity flying with eyesight of a human being is not a good plan.
