I did a SIV w/ Alex a couple weeks ago. He's freaking amazing and Benoit helping take offs we great also Monica did great on the videos. All around super class.
To be honest Benoit is my spirit animal 😅 I absolutelly loved having him on take-off. His relaxed way of beeing is contagious :D Mona is a wizard with that camera to be honest. I can't imagine having myself tracking us bafoons in the air 😂
@@CristiUrsu I actually saw it and talked about it with my friends :( the corect reaction would have been the one seen in the first few exercises :( It really helps you as a pilot 100%!
Good progress. After the stall I also had always the problems that the ears were hanging in the lines. For clearing the cravate is maybe the stall spin on one side better - my opionion.
So inform me. On the 4:30 mark after the dive what was the correct way to handle that to not have a frontal? I thought you have to stab the brakes and catch the dive? I see your hands go down to do so. So what went wrong or what could be done different? Thanks!
The way I handled the dive was almost perfect, except for the fact that my hands only went down as low as my main carabiners. I should have punched the brakes straight down, giving me much more brake travel and thus more power to stop the wing :) My hands didn't go low enough, the wing just kept going beyond it's critical angle, and bam! :D
Nice! Looked like a lot of fun. On the rapid exit with the frontal on the Rook, you didn't run out of brake travel. Have a look again what happens - there are 2 other reasons it frontals.
@@7up-weee well, let's see: I didn't pull enough break for one... my hands were above the main carabiners and the second one must be the fact that I didn't keep contact with the brakes and let them go to fast mayve? 😅 thanks for the heads up and for the time you took to leave a comment 🤗 Much apreciated :)
@@AndreiPGPilot Yeah - you can't access the full brake range if your hands are in front of the Carabiners. If they are in a line with the risers and the carabiners you can put your hands down below your bum and you get a lot more travel - at least 30 or 40 centimetres extra. The second one is your hands go up before the wing has stopped moving forward. If you keep your hands down until the moment the wing stops, it won't frontal. The instant it stops, put your hands up.
Thanks. Comfortable uncomplicated presentation.

Awesome class, I agree :)
Alex is the best! Loved his SIV
Just perfect! The way he adapts to every single pilot is mind-blowing. And the calm in his voice makes you belive you can achieve anything :)
Alex is the best. Nice video, man!
Probably THE BEST! :D Thanks a lot for the kind words :)
Great video! I definitely need to do this as well!
@@CristiUrsu I can't recommend it enough :) It was tons of fun as well 😅
@AndreiPGPilot maybe you've seen the video of what happened to me last week... if it were for an SIV before, I wouldn't have had to throw the rescue

Yeah seemed so. We went from pumping the cravates out, to spin stalling to the cravate side, which worked much better :)

@@7up-weee Thanks a lot for spending the time to share your insight
@@7up-weee glad I got it down by the time I took the Omega out for a spin :D
