N. Side blowback avoidance and procedure
---------------------------------------------------------------
If its easy to bench up - don’t
If you are high when you bench up, make a left ( save making a right for when your are still fighting for altitude )
Fly the East end of the hill, you don’t come over the parking lot high almost ever
Check your forward speed
If it gets windy, go out front (Wheadon Farm Park)
If its strong, work it forward let off sometimes when you can, push gas if the air is nice enough, it might take a while - don’t do ears until out in front
Don’t blow back behind north side
If blowing back, take your height and slide to the end then turn southbound toward Adobe Building, overfly the SS (don’t land there)
Turn into wind, don’t push gas unless you are at risk of blowing into an object, keep it into wind, keep it open
PLF - check in via FB, telegram etc. have a buddy

No apologies for the rant, Chris. This is excellent and essential information for the novice, and good review for the experienced pilot. Thank you for your care!
Great briefing sir. This is a must watch for every visiting pilot!
Great video - very generous of you to help everyone for free.
So happy to help. Thanks for tuning in.
Never benched up, but I'm super greatful for this information! I can't wait to try it one day.
Thanks again!
Great video!!! Can't wait to pick up my wing and fly with you!!!
if you get blown back send it to inspo for the boys
Essential. Well done! Can't wait to learn.
Always so great help. Thanks so much.
Great briefing!!!
GREAT video to make!
I'm glad to see your analysis. I will never fly this place I am too poor. I scraped together enough money for an epsilon 9 and lessons to fly at. No one lives in my area that flies paragliders. I am going to be alone. I'm the only one who flies out of my launch zones.
A year later, how's it going? How are the lonely launches going?
@@asksteevs I'm still at the ground handling stage because I had a lot of other things went wrong and I couldn't get back to the school and they are storing my wing for me and my harness because if I'm not legal to fly it I don't want it here. The good news is I got a new wing and new harness well at least new to me I gave 100 for the harness and 100 for the wing and it's a little bitty boardless harness. I didn't unpack the wing but I think it's probably a small wing. I decided I could practice my ground handling with the smaller Wing because that epsilon 9 looks like a circus tent. It's the biggest one they make and I'm so fat I'm almost too heavy for the insurance. Everybody says I'm going to have to fly in a 10 mile an hour wind in order to get enough lift from soaring ridges and everything like that. I was ground-handling in a 9 mi an hour wind and the wind was rising and I thought it was still dropping I called that shoot up about when the wind was rising and I didn't get under it quick enough and it yanked me through the air about 15 ft and I landed on my face. It didn't hurt me but it gave me a different perspective on figuring out this ground handling. If I can get this ground handling down with the smaller wing and lower speeds where it just can't pick me up off the ground and yank me through the air it would be a lot more convenient. I do have three different Farmers that are going to let me launch from their farms and fly around and throw out cornstarch and make it rain so they get more money.no one will pay me to do this but when I go and fly from these three people's places and I explained to everybody this one guy that's rich is Rich because I stole all the rain from everybody down wind that's farming and he won't admit that's where the money comes from people will beg me to fly out of their Farm because they want that cloud seeding if there's any chance it could happen. I enjoy the educational part and discussing these things online with everybody and I put about $1,000 hours into the gathering of information and mathematical calculations I will share my results. Fly straight. In any kind of an aircraft if you are overloaded and you fly straight as an arrow you will probably be able to pick up off the ground. In any kind of an aircraft when you do that and you're flying overloaded you cannot turn a sharp corner without spiraling into the. The radius of the smallest corner you can make decreases rapidly as you increase weight. The wing area gets a little smaller as you increase the bank angle and the downforce increases rapidly. If you are flying and you have a 45 degree Bank angle you have about one and a half times as much downforce on the wing as you would normally. If you are overweight you may not have enough control authority to pull out of a spiral and it might be a pretty large radius spiral. I went on a hell of a ride I tipped the pilot to give me the ride from hell and by God he gave me the ride from hell. They towed us from the launch and we got way up in the sky about a mile from where we were supposed to go back and land and he just turned around and he did the most gentlest turn a glided back up there to where we're supposed to land. The hair stands up on the back of my neck when I think about what happened next. All of a sudden this mellow friendly ride in this nice airship floating along like a hot air balloon was over. He threw that thing into a spiral dive and you could feel the soul of the Wing change. The lines began to sing loudly the song of death. I was tightened up like a fighter pilot to hold my blood in my head and not pass out and he said we were going 58 mi an hour at one point and he agreed with my 6G estimate. As long as I live I'll never forget that ride I'll never forget that pilot and most of all I'll never forget those lines singing the song of spiral dive. I think we did seven or eight rotations and at one point he went asymmetrical and we were going over the top of the wing. I didn't realize he was going to do that I thought that would be called a loop the loop like they called it an airplane. I thought I was passing out even though I was tightened up like a fighter pilot because I kept seeing the sky and the ground flash around us and I thought my eyesight was going bad from the g-force or something and turns out I can see perfectly I understood everything and we were above that Wing every time we went around the last five or six times. I've argued with a lot of people about a lot of things online and the only conclusion I've come to for myself is..... Fly with your hands up and stay out of those brakes you idiot.... I'm not screaming should I looked at a lot of tape and a lot of videos of people hitting the ground hard doing exactly what I'm going to try to do. These people have a hundred feet of altitude but they're in the brakes and they're going too slow or they get a problem with the tip or something. When you use the brakes improperly like ride both brakes slowed way down and then lift one break and not the other you can go into a spiral that you cannot get out of you will never have the velocity to have the control authority to break that dive. I'm a gangster and I'm coming in heavy on the way and I'm flying at trim speed now I'm not using those brakes not till I need to flair and land. When I go back to the school and I get good enough of the ground handling to stand the launch and face the landing to pay my bill for getting to fly at all,I'm going to tell all the other pilots it's around there at the time to make a circle and I'll get on the ground and you can all kick me now because I will ram you. You can wait until after I ram you to kick me if you want it doesn't make any difference I can't fly I'm not a pilot I will ram you. I'm going to fly with my hands up I'm not doing active flying because I believe in that mathematician over at advance. I like to think about him sitting at his desk crying saying to himself we told him just put your hands up and we'll fly you through the turbulence. When I get to where I can fly good enough I'm going to try to do some high anxiety videos. I'm going to be flying along with my hands up and crying because I don't know how to do active flying. Then I'm going to cry part of the time while I'm looking forward to having to make this landing I don't know how to do either. One of the things that really makes me happy is I've got this old $200 rig and I'm going to take it out to my friend's farm and try to do launches with a payload and a special harness to keep the paraglider from going into stall mode and slapping somebody into the ground if they happen to be riding it. If I could buy 1500 ft of paracord in one piece and come up with a safe flat land bridal that would keep the wing from diving in the ground like a kite has a tail, then when you pull the release the tail and everything else falls off and your 1500 agl. My state has more miles of riverbank than any other state in the United States. A lot of these Rivers cross the state line so their Federal waterways and I have a right to be down in there with my parachute on that flat Sandy River bottom with my 1500 foot rope. A lot of these slopes are tree covered and there is nowhere to launch on the slope. If I can get a thousand feet above ground level and I have a 10 to 1 glide ratio that means I can fly almost 2 miles. There's a great flying place an hour's drive away that used to draw hang gliding people from all over but it was on public property and they had to launch on public property and they had an accident and public property forbid them to launch. If I can go to a private landowner within a mile of this and get 1500 ft on a string on flat ground then I can fly over to the sloped public property and no one can say a thing to me. It's been a busy year I hadn't really thought about how many things have happened and all that but it doesn't matter really. I've already had a lot of entertainment value trying to figure out these equations and calculating and looking and watching all the fatal videos.
Yeah buddy. Gotta get back out there soon, Chris I’ll bring you some oat milk! 😂
U r da man!
