A lot of pilots don't enjoy launching their paraglider wing when the wind is stronger than usual.
Sometimes this means missing out on perfect flying conditions. So I thought I'd share some little tips and cheats to help any pilots wanting to improve their ground handling skills and confidence.
I hope these help you and please ask me any question in the comments!

Good common sense applied never hurt anyone. I personally like the "wear your helmet", so many people take it for granted they're on the ground, until they aren't any more ;)

Good Video. Good information. But i didn't think that this was at 15 to 20 Miles per hour wind. This was much lower.

Each wing comes in different sizes and you can choose the correct size for you.

could you do ground handling with paramotor wing? Air Design Rama Flex Size: Medium - 26.5 AREA FLAT That will be too strong right?
@Florian24
@Florian24 5 лет назад
Do that with some beginner EN-A and it will be very difficult to keep it on the ground. Even with C riser kill those don't want to stay down in strong winds because they are designed for that easy launching in nil wind.
@acroal
@acroal 5 лет назад
I've not flown an EN A for a long time so I'm going to borrow one and try it! Thanks for the info.

@GrantonTheFly
@GrantonTheFly 5 лет назад
Nah that's not true...if you hold the Cs in properly the wing is effectively stalled and cannot possibly fly because the profile is deformed.
@Florian24
@Florian24 5 лет назад
@@GrantonTheFly obviously you didn't handle a prion 3 in 30km/h... Even with C control it starts jumping up higher and higher. It simply doesn't stay on the ground

There is no way your wind was close to 20. Maybe 10-12 tops

Well he said 15 to 18 miles per hour, but even that seems to be far fetched, I'd say...
