Hope this video helps you to understand the theory of the pitch control better. To practice active piloting, join one of our SIV courses - www.flyingkarlis.com In this video you will learn about the art of pitch control.

We foucuss on the fundementals in our courses, in order to practice them we spend a lot of time on rotation, to dial in these concepts and wing control in rotations. We, as paragliding pilots, spend most of our time in-fligh in rotations. The better we learn to control a rotation, the safer pilots we will be.

    He didn't apriciate where his wing was in relation to him when he wanted to turn tight to the right. Wings don't like to turn when they are behind the pilot. And when it doesn't turn, people pull a little harder and stall.

      @FlyingKarlis The camera is perfect 👌..you can simply zoom in a bit to flatten the frame. We can then focus on what's in front of your risers (just like a pilot does when flying). I mean...it's all a matter of taste. I bet there are some who like the fisheye..but for me it is not a human perspective (hence the name) and serves the purpose of a novelty rather than a storytelling tool. Don't let it distract you from posting more 🤜🤛

    • @FlyingKarlis
      @FlyingKarlis 8 днів тому

      Thank you, glad you like them. As I have not looked into any type of automatization on this aspect, I am doing it manually. A bit of old-school way, frame by frame, similar how they used to make animations on paper. It's a screen grab of the frame I want to use for explanation, then throw that into a photo editing software, add a layer, draw the lines, save the layer as a new image with transparent background, then start deleting some section of the line save the file as 99 then delete some more save as 98 till you deleted it all. Then add these into video editing software, base layer is the map, another layer for the frame by frame animation. It goes quite quick for me as I'm used to doing it by now. I haven't found a better way to be as detailed as I would like it to be when it comes to explaining valley systems.

It offers both usable speed and performance, making it easy to fly at full speed bar. I've done quite a lot of SIV/Acro practice with this wing before going to India to test its limits and characteristics. This helped a lot. I think BGD has created something very special here.

  • @PetrPolach

    My few cents to improve: - too slow entry is prone to asymmetrically stall tips - wingtips should definitelly not touch at the back, higher tier wing will punish the pilot for that - hands fully up while exiting Your voice navigation is great! Calm or very simple and clear during execution, while pilot has to focus. Then very short brief to make next attempt better. Excellent teaching.

    • @FlyingKarlis
      @FlyingKarlis 18 днів тому

      Hey Petr, Thank you, I'm glad you like the teaching style. The points you make are all good, it dose however take time for pilots to get there. This is where a well run SIV course comes in very handy, to keep practicing and improving on all the small details.

    As bad as that was, the pilot was still able to get it back under control and fly out the cravat. I’d bet there was some good coaching going on under that music. I saw another video taken elsewhere where someone made a similar problem with a deep wing over and stuffed it into the mountain. That one looked like it ended in injury. This one looks like good practice and will be remembered by our pilot for a long time to come.

    • @FlyingKarlis
      @FlyingKarlis 18 днів тому

      This is what we do, the whole point of the SIV's are to get the pilots as ready as possible for things that might eventually happen in the wild. Sure there was instructions druring this execution, but the pilot still managed to keep calm and get things sorted out, instructions only goes so far.

  • @timothee.gigout-magiorani

    I have a strong dislike for the old school stall ball. Might be a useful first step to just to learn to stall the glider but the transition to backfly is just so darn messy that I wonder if it'd be better to directly teach 2 stage.

      It sure is better to teach 2 step stall directly, the deep stall creates more issues than solves things.

    • @7up-weee
      @7up-weee 20 днів тому

      A small amount of brake removes the reflex built onto the wing so you get a more violent shoot if you keep this 5% brake at the wrong time. Still catchable with full brake at the right time as the wing shoots

      Using the rear risers, the C's or B's depending on the wing your fly, or in some cases the D's. Using the risers to stear isn't that much different from brakes, the concept is the same. Just the sensitivity is different, and the way you aply them is a bit different.

    • @FlyingKarlis
      @FlyingKarlis Місяць тому

      I had the same issue with my X-Alps Range 2 being too wide. What I did was add a strong paragliding line between the two locking carabiners on my waist strap. I made it shorter, which takes the load, so make sure the line is strong enough. I even looped it through twice, just to be sure it would hold. This made the harness more stable and the wing more pleasant to fly.
