Thx❤

I put a led strip in it that has a usb connector, together with a powerbank and some tape

@@mmcowan thx, but I don't think i can get 40kg of ballast into my harness😅

Sure, a doing a PLF is never wrong. For me the descent rate is very manageable on a beamer flown at 70% of its max take off weight.

You can literally flare the beamer and the sink rate is lower than a normal reserve to begin with.

I have seen this method used in a real situation once, it seemed to work ok. My only concern would be how well you can steer to the unattached side. Do you have any experience with that? I have quick outs at home, but I just like the ease of beeing able to clip in a different wing within seconds.

Yes exactly, this is how to test fly your beamer as safe as possible. I have my fair share of "real" rescues and of course every situation will be different. In an ideal scenario with lots of height and away from terrain i would absolutely pull in the main wing. If you have a low fuck up, just stall the wing and hold it with one hand. With a different brand of rogallo i was only able to steer towards the side i held the paraglider, its like a airbrake on that side. In some real scenarios you won't be able to steer at all and are just glad that you don't hit the ground at terminal velocity :)

This was part of my excercise, i wanted to test my packjob and having to fold it again, gave even me more practice. If you don't trust yourself to do it, any paragliding school or shop will do it for you. I hope you repack it every year anyway.

@ Where did you get the repack instructions? The manual is impossible to follow and there are no decent how to videos online. I just bought mine a couple months ago, so I have some time to find good instructions. I don’t let anyone do my re packs, I always do them myself. Maybe you can do a decent re pack video please? Jajaj

​@@hanumandorje584i used the official packing video from high adventure: ua-cam.com/video/NCQOCN4_N5s/v-deo.htmlsi=VhyjpkSgQDOZNp8T I know the first two "cells" can be a bit confusing, the rest i find quite straight forward. And it really helps if you can do it the first time with someone who already knows. If we have a long bad weather period this winter maybe I can try to make a packing video that is easy to understand. But i can't promise it, sorry.

It's just a standard computer voice from my editing programm. I think with AI it would sound more natural but I don't have any experience in this field. I just didn't want to do a voiceover with my swiss german accent😅. This is actually the birthplace of the Beamer, with 3 big fields and only two fences, a tree and a house on them it is the safest spot in the valley.

@@anieltoengi Fair enough. I was asking because I was not quite sure about the voice, and it seemed to work ok, even if it made you sound like someone in his sixties. I have the same conflict of narrating videos with my Danish accent vs trying out some Ai. Have been going with music thus far. Must say that when I look at your landing field, there seems to be a lot of obstacles, if you were coming down in a regular "go where the wind blows" rescue ;-) Thanks for the info.

​@@thecrazybirdyes a normal rescue would be stupid to test there, especially from this height. If you watch my fail video, the first rescue i had to throw was a companion sqr which is not steerable but has a little forward speed to be more stable. I crossed the valley with this rescue and landed in the river. I was super lucky that the rescue came down on a big bush, if it also would have landed in the water, i would be dead😬

@@anieltoengi The separation between "that didn't go according to plan, and was no fun" and "that is how he died" is too damn close at times. :-/

@@anieltoengi A Swiss German accent is the best and most credible accent possible for paragliding advice! 🙂

The Beamer definetly has some forward speed but you can't compare it to a paraglider. It is not built for xc flying :) Next time I will take my vario with me for some accurate data👍

@@anieltoengi I would guess an aerodynamic efficiency of 1/3 ? May be 1/2 ?

Thank you very much❤

Hallo Julian, mit dem Alpha hast du auf jeden fall längere bremswege als mit dem 16m2 acro schirm in diesem beispiel. Stallen sollte aber kein problem sein, wenn du am notschirm hängst, kannst du auch nachgreifen. Die bremsdrücke sind viel geringer. Alternativ kannst du auch die hinteren Tragegurten nehmen, die brauchen viel weniger weg. Das schirm einholen könnte vielleicht ein wenig mühsamer sein, weil du wahrscheinlich einen grösseren schirm fliegst und mehr material zum verstauen hast.

Yes, 16m2 90kg tow

@@christophwaller9016 Yes, soon 8🎂 but was basically unused when i bought this bargain

@@gellerttoth2113 sadly they where not just my reading glasses, i see pretty bad without them. Barely found the landing field🤓

I respect your desicion but this is a compilation of me figuring out how not to fly a PG, every fuckup was pilot error. There is no turbulent air in this video😅. Please watch my other videos to see why i find PG so much more fun to fly :)

@@anieltoengi you sure fly reckless. yes pilot error happens, but it happens many times with turbulence.

@@safurianhe's pushing on acro training here. He's putting the wing in these configurations it's not like they are "happening to" him.

This guy is beyond crazy. Even experienced acrobatic pilots dare some of his maneuvers only over a lake.

@@asksteevs Thanks for pointing that out. Still I have seen quite a few PG throw their reserve in turbulence

Thx man, love you too❤

Danke für dein Kommentar und die guten Wünsche. Auch wenn dieses Video vielleicht nicht den Eindruck vermittelt hat die Sicherheit bei mir einen hohen Stellenwert. Gerade deshalb finde ich es wichtig, sich mit allen Flugzuständen und den Rettungsschirmen vertraut zu sein. Der Weg dahin war natürlich nicht ohne risiko und ich hatte auch ein paar mal Glück. In den knapp 3200 flügen, die ich bis jetzt erleben durfte, bin ich aber ziemlich zufrieden mit meiner Unfall statistik👌

Ja, ich kenne das so, dass man vorher Wasser drunter legt.😅 Infinity mittendrin abgebrochen und knapo die Kappe verfehlt über Land. Jo, meistens geht es gut.

we all know he’ll run out of luck

@@samu.fliagn Hello my friend, i went to the training hill for the first time in october 2022 and got my paragliding licence in january 2023. I started experementing with spins, stalls and helis soon after and joined the acro club in july 2023, where my acro journey began. My tip would be to fly a lot, and don't get frustrated when a maneuver doesn't work the way you want. Failure is part of the process, and its almost necessairy to learn how to do it right. But when things get out of controll and you have to use your rescue, you proabably flew over your skill level. Don't hesitate to throw your recue, you paid for it and it was made to be used :). It is natural to always want to fly the next maneuver, but always ask yourself if you are truly ready and always try it in a safe environment. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Have fun and stay safe✌️

​@@anieltoengithank you for your answer, keep your videos up, rhey are great

It works but it isn't an easy wing to get turning nicely.

Yes that's true, the more you fuck around, the more you find out. Best of luck to you in your progression and fly safe🫡
