I’ve had a few good hikes to Pat Sin, not an easy takeoff if the wind isn’t perfect…but it’s a Beautiful site. Steve did mention you were returning to us soon😁 although he flies to the Us tomorrow for a few weeks… Actually weather is very changeable at the moment…fingers cross it improves in July 🤞🏻.

@@completespaz1873 waiting for a long time for a flyable day. Starting a day job in few days so will only be available on Saturday and Sunday but hopefully soon. Been one and a half year since I last took the wing out of the bag.

Thanks and good choice👏. (The editing removes the hour of swearing and failed launches😂.) I had my allegro repaired during covid so I bought a little cloud Urubu in the meantime…madness I know…but I have since gone back to the allegro. Turns out I had learned to love the extra feedback. The allegro is fast and agile too and the big ears are mental but the whole thing is also predictable which builds confidence. Have fun and post some videos once the weather breaks👍🏻.

That’s Emil Kaminsky, he’s arguably the best tandem pilot in HK. Very safe, renews his equipment every couple of years. Nice guy too. He’s in many of my videos because he knows I am filming so he flys close whenever he can.

Cheers Andy. The weather's gone a bit hazy already so some of the 360 footage was a bit unclear and there's never enough good footage of 'stuff happening' but fortunately the song is ideal for the content so it worked out ok. 👍

yes HK$, still an outrageous sum of money. HK Post said they had no service to SL at all for the time being...crazy.

Mini equals more flying opportunities

I have an Ozone zero3 19m myself. But I wonder if a spiruline flies beter of almost the same? My AUW is around 85kg

Congratulations on your new wing!Ah yes, it took me a bit of time to get that dialled in. First of all the line layout while not hooked in makes GH a real challenge. I rarely do much more than shake the lines out before hooking in. Once hooked in I have found the only thing that works for me is to hold all 4 A’s evenly. Just using the centre A’s doesn’t give connection / control of enough of the wing surface. I use other hand on both rear risers so it’s easy to kill if necessary. In strong wind I will grab the rear risers high on the lines otherwise it can be hard to keep the wing tips on the ground. Because it is lightweight I find it comes up and overhead quickly but without any nasty tendency to drag at 45° or anything so once you get it right it’s easy to be confident at launch. Stick with it buddy, and take it easy and I’m sure it will click really soon. If you’re at all like me it will be because you’re a little apprehensive on the new wing, once you relax and lock in the muscle memory launching will be a pleasure… ;-)

@@completespaz1873 Thank you very much for the help! I'll do some groundhandling once the wind is right... I was already planning on going to the Mitsos/A's and C's method, so hearing that from you makes me wanna try it even more! Will try both, inner As and all As, exited to see the difference! Thanks again, for the help and the videos!

Thanks for the nice comments. Not sure about the decent pilot tho, hard to improve just flying a few times a month. Do you fly?

@@completespaz1873 I was trying to be funny. Yes, I fly too. Once or twice a year. Really enjoying your videos. Subscribed and pressed the bell icon.

Yes. Contact Kim. Best tandem pilot in HK, others have very questionable skills & morals.

Thanks for your comment.👍 I upgraded from an Eden7 which is a great wing but was never quite as precise as I wanted it to be. The AXA feels very precise and the line arrangement makes it fast on SB and gives a very efficient big ears. Really easy to launch too so long as you hold all 4 A’s. Hope it works for you too😁. Pete

@@completespaz1873 Thanks Pete!!! I am coincidentally flying an Eden 7! 😃 This is great news you are getting along well with your new wing and assuring I have met you a pilot with the same experience I am looking to get into regarding my next wing. Thanks again for the insight! By the way, I am also delving into DaVinci Resolve, still a newbie though.

@@JorgeParagliding haha, interesting. I looked at your videos so I suspect Ziad has some influence for you also😉. The Eden is a great wing and a very good progression from an A or a low B. The AXA has a different character but if you are comfortable on the Eden 7 then you should have no trouble adjusting to an AXA. I was also a bit light on the Eden, the weight ranges of the Phi suit me better…and a bit of a diet too😖😁. For the sake or argument tho I do have 3 issues with the Phi: 1. Buy the GIN Concertina Compress Bag, the wing just comes in a very simple bag. 2. The material is light and fragile. I ripped the leading edge on a twig without even knowing it and I was being very careful. 3. The lines 😖😖😖😖. I love the layout but I have yet to unpack and set up without knots in the lines. As for davinci resolve, I’m really just a half-baked amateur, I just watch UA-cam ‘how to’ videos. Resolve works great unless you want to handle 360° footage or >30fps. For ~€300 Studio has a few more features but right now they are giving away their SpeedEditor keyboard for free. I’m not sure how to use it yet but it looks good🙄.

ahhh. so sorry for such a late response. I rarely check youtube, usually on facebook. been grounded for the last 3 weeks so I'm probably less than 10 hours on the wing but i feel I have just slotted into it straight away. I would describe it as immediate and responsive, it turns on a dime as they say. risers are great but they mean you have only one option for big ears. huge or huge...excellent descent rate for a simple maneuver. speed is impressive especially on speedbar. Only caveat I would offer is the size of the wing. I'm within a few kg of the top of the range but have read a few comments that it climbs better if you are closer to the middle or a bit below. I have noted other pilots on 777 queen and iota's climbing a bit better but honestly that could just be me and my crappy skills.

@@completespaz1873 That fit's with all I've heard so far as well! Hannes told me to load it in the middle, rather than the top... (was torn between 2 sizes) Thanks for the vids, loving them!
