Wow, has it been over a year since my last video?? Well I am back, and while my focus won't be this channel, I am getting fully involved in the paramotor community once again at Aviator Paramotor. Looking forward to this new chapter in our lives!

    Yep, I appreciate your spelling it out but to me, a consenting adult ought to be able to do pretty much anything just so he doesn't hurt, maim, or worse to anyone else. There's more chance of folks killing you in allowing them to drive a car than any of these small aircraft but we've allowed the policy/rules to overshadow the LAW's of the land. I'd love to fly but they are too far UP everyone's "ARSE" to be free. Thank you for the video, peace guys

    Just an observation/comment on Class E surface to air. We can fly in some surface area of Class E airspace. If the surface area of Class E is “designated as an extension” we can legally takeoff and fly through from sunrise to sunset. But, if the surface area of Class E airspace is “designated for an airport” we cannot takeoff or fly through it. Class E Surface Extension, Yes but only after sunrise or before sunset. Class E Surface for an airport, No Let me know your thoughts, Thx Conor

    While I know very little on this topic it is interesting is that for you to fly as part 103, it sure requires a lot of education and the ability to read those aerial maps. While it may not be compulsory requirement for training, there is a fair amount of education that needs to happen for a beginner to fly safely.

    @larssorenson9916 6 місяців тому

    Hey I love your videos. Very thorough with attention to detail and no shortcuts. I recently bought an Advance Fastpack bag (see video link), and I’ve been employing your method which not only makes for a neat unfolding of the leading edge at launch but also, my risers are consistently trouble free. However I have one apprehension about your method. It concerns holding the leading edge battens between the knees during the trailing edge and other glider parts “stuffing” process. Namely I have noticed how the fabric balloons out and ultimately, even after the collected battens are placed flat at a 90 degree angle on top in the center, and then additional fabric is piled on top, the ballooning continues. Therefore it seems clear that we are choking the air exit at the leading edge as we are stuffing the glider into the bag - first by the knee action and second after the battens are laid flat. In both cases, we are not allowing the air to escape from the internal wing structures and essentially we are forcing the air through the fabric, thus encouraging increased porosity by force and thereby shortening the life of the fabric. Ideally, for a long wing life, we should work the air from the trailing edge towards the open leading edges as we do during concertina packing. There may be an argument that the fast pack is not the primary packing method and is only used during certain times, like successive launches, but some people use the fast pack as their primary method. My guess is that such people will find an increased development of fabric porosity and hence prematurely shortened glider life. I want to use a method like yours, but without the fabric ballooning so much. Take a look at the Advance fast pack video example, notice how he works the trailing edge into the bag while the leading edge is relatively open. Moreover, there is little sign of the fabric ballooning at any point during the packing process. The leading edges however, are not paid attention to as you do. So do we have to choose between leading edge integrity or fabric longevity? I also don’t have luck with leaving the harness connected to the risers like in the example video. For some reason this always seems to complicate riser unpacking at launch. Check this video to see what I’m talking about: ua-cam.com/video/Ad9w-DbJwpc/v-deo.htmlsi=H1ecZNy4WJUgV56i I hope you have a chance to comment. Thanks, Steve :)

    • @liftedppg4370
      @liftedppg4370 5 місяців тому

      Howdy, thanks for your thoughts! I’m hard pressed to believe that the air escaping though the fabric is increasing porosity, but that is an interesting theory - ultimately I think loosening the knees up a bit and pressing the air toward the leading edge is going to let that air escape through the cell openings. It doesn’t need to be a very forceful operation either, the air will leak out eventually wherever it can without damaging the fabric. Good thoughts!

I was a Wildland Firefighter and have 18 flights in a helicopter. Ever thought about flying over Aspen, Co or flying from Meeker to Steamboat Springs?
