This is how NOT to do wingovers :P
Bad timing and not pulling the brakes before the glider collapse ends with a nasty cravat. To block autorotation I moved my weight to the side that was still flying and kept a little pressure on the left brake. It took me a few moments to find stabilo line and pump it. My instructor said that I could also perform an asymmetric front collapse and probably the cravat would be fixed by itself. Luckily I was high enough to recover and the glider was flying pretty fine despite the cravat and me trying to fix it. In the very end "Big ears" did the job. I have to practice my wingovers a lot but I'm happy I had the chance to deal with it without using my reserve or even perform a full stall.
Thanks for watching, Fly Safe :)

You need to pull outside brake quite a bit during wing overs to prevent outside tip collapse. It’s a minor cravat and you need to pump your brakes harder to release. If that doesn’t work then you. Need to grab the stabilo and keep pulling, and what I mean is pull hand in hand with BOTH hand s and eventually it will come out. That maneuver is sometimes called baba ganoush.

Wow good work stopping the auto rotation early, it was going in steep spiral pretty fast there... thanks for video!

@Krawaritis 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment buddy..actually it was the first time i had to deal with a real auto rotation situation.. a couple of SIV's before that helped me a lot to react as fast as possible 😁

Nice recovery!

@Krawaritis 11 месяцев назад

Thank you :)

if one wing end is twisted, you usually may not solve this situation by using the break line. Then try using a single "big ear" instead (pull the outer A-line) and release it again. This will hopefully solve the issue. Don`t panic and keep an eye on your flight direction. You can even land normally with a twister like this.

@Krawaritis 6 месяцев назад

Correct! Thanks :) it was my first time being in a situation like this and stopping the auto rotation was my high priority after that i learned a lot. Happy New Year and safe landings

@JP-ts8oy 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing. Nice job in managing your weight shift and keeping the same direction. Have you done SIV ? I'm surprised by the "asymmetric front collapse" talk. Here in France we learn the opposite: a short asymetric stall on the side of the cravat (also pulling the brake and the stabilo first). A front collapse is precisely how cravat happen, so I'm not sure how that would solve the issue. Cheers !

@Krawaritis 5 месяцев назад

Thank you :) I've done a lot of siv's since then. Sure an asymmetric stall is the most effective way to solve the problem as you feel comfortable to perform it and you are far away from the ground. I'm not an expert but i think that any action that would "loose" the lines for a little bit it might be enough to untangle the cravat. Even a big ear. Its better to practice over water and always prefer an instructor's opinion than videos on youtube 😃 safe landings!

@Krawaritis 6 месяцев назад

Not apparently:) make sure you keep pressure on your both brakes as long as you climbing higher than your wing

Good recovery. Beautiful looking spot. Where is the location so I can come visit :)

@Krawaritis Год назад

Thank you! It is Ypato, Theves central Greece. As long as you visit Greece Sent me a message. 😁

@@Krawaritis Awesome! definitely will do that as Greece is on my places to visit/fly 😀

@tonyjohnson7290 4 месяца назад

Quick question - do you feel that you were fully commited to the wingover or hesitated a bit? Thoughts?

@Krawaritis 4 месяца назад

Hesitated for sure :) as an amateur it was the second time i tried wingovers with that wing and I had just moved to High-B's. I should have mastered wingovers with my previews wing

@pietroreni129 2 года назад

Stabilo..

@AlexRaflas 3 года назад

a front right side collapse would do also the job! ;) only the executive does fullstall for a wingtip! :P

@Krawaritis 3 года назад

You've got right but If you got burnt by the soup you blow the yoghurt !!! 🤣 Big ears instead of asymmetric collapse

Absolutely avoid the full-stall manoeuvre, imho, too risky.

Hello, congratulations on the flight, I`m about to buy my BGD BASE 2. What are you thinking about this paraglinder? Do you like it? Have you ever made a long flight? how was it? Your video is really cool. Thanks.

@Krawaritis 3 года назад

Hi Caroline! Thanks for your kind words. Unfortunately i haven't made any long flight yet due to covid restrictions but i really like this wing :) it has a very smooth feeling on the brake lines and this make it pretty easy to handle. It is fast, it is playful and it has a surprisingly good glide even with my open harness. I'm looking forward to hit some real thermals in the spring to check its climb rate as well..

@sandrainthesky1011 3 года назад

Pas la bonne suspente pour sortir de cette petite cravate et surtout donner de bons coups de frein à l'opposé pour envoyer la pression côté fermé.

@mikefoster3487 Год назад

Why did this happen? What is the reason? Trying to understand

@Krawaritis Год назад

Bad timing in weightshift and not holding the pressure on both brakes.. as a result i lost tension of the lines and then came this spectacular collapse

@mikefoster3487 Год назад

@@Krawaritis thanks! so by holding pressure on both brakes would you have avoided this? Considering the bad timing in weightshift

@Krawaritis Год назад

@@mikefoster3487 probably yes but i should have trained a lot in 180° transitions before trying this one

@sandrainthesky1011 3 года назад

I'm not sure but I think you needed more outside brake once that deep, I find it slows the wing so I'm always pulling on it with my weight, also you can feel it getting soft as you go deeper so pull more.

@joule162534 3 года назад

problem was pulling the inside break too late. that results in not enough speed and the inside wings collapses. rather be too early than too late on the inside break.if one pulls the break after passing under the wing, the wing can collapse

You r doing wrong❌

@someguydino6770 2 месяца назад

that's a wing UNDER! Sorry; people but paragliders are TERRIBLE parachutes and are also inherently unstable. Been flying hang gliders since 1981, was among the first in the US to fly paragliders in the mid 90's.
