Remember that box canyon guy? That was almost me...

Learning to use power Brakes is the key to nil-wind launches... Modern gliders are happy to inflate readily (with power to assist), and will firm up with a little brake added.... more power more brake... and you're light as a feather... and up sooner. Here I'm using max braking... (or close to it) to show how much one can get away with on the Roadster III by Ozone. (28M, 300 lbs all up). I use ...

Chase cam goodness featured on a sweet little flight.

The first flight of our OpenPPG Batch 3 machine... I call her "little bird" or The Electric Chair. Carries 4 22000mAh LiPo batteries. Don't know what the max flight duration is yet... only made a 10-minute test hop. Music: Bensound.com

Getting to old for this #&*}@! Paradad picks a windy day to try his very first reverse. Truly cringeworthy. Somehow I never flew on a day that you couldn't forward launch... so that's all I know. Today, a forward was not possible... and having not kited for about half a year, it's what you'd expect. My only true asset is stubbornness. And maybe Tourettes. Music: www.bensound.com

More Paradad shenanigans. My helmet go-pro battery had already given up (grrrr)... but my son caught this at a distance... Been trying to get more aggressive with the wingovers, and the fact is I got sloppy. The wing recovered very nicely, but because I was still holding right brake she went into a spiral that got pretty flat... As it was stable, I let it come around once more while I thought c...

2nd flight on the Roadster... doing some very cautious Wingovers just to get the feel of the thing.

The Shenanigans of some Old Dude new to the sport of PPG thanks to 24 months of prodding by his son in the form of Tucker Gott videos. Turns out it's the best idea ever. Two motors, Two wings, Too much fun. Music: Appalachian Coal Mines by: Mid-Air Machine freemusicarchive.org/music/Ask... Same intro, but with better color balancing and added stabilization.

At about 15 hours total flight experience I'm starting to work on my wingovers on a 33m Velocity Core. This is a BIG beginner wing and is not nearly so responsive as her intermediate cousins, but I think she has a trick or two up her sleeve.
