    Some nitpicking : technically your turnpoint was not Geneva in Switzerland but in a small municipality called Septmoncel in France (the border is a few km East or South).

I had my first "own" flight experience last weekend (I dont have a pilot´s license yet but i was flying with an flight instructor that let me control the plane once we reached an average attitude of about 400-500 meters) and it was so damn amazing but also relaxing.

    Hi Stefan! Does paragliding disturb your flight? Or is it possible to thermal along with them? What is the best thing to do if you're a paraglider pilot and see a glider coming your way?
    We don't have many gliders flying in Brazil along with paragliders, hence why I ask. Thank you

    • @SteFly
      @SteFly  Рік тому +1

      I think you as a paraglider can do nothing. We are faster and need to fly around you and usually it works ok to thermal together. There paraglider in the middle and the glider around :D At this flight it was my first time that it was very stressful with a lot of paragliders and even one hang glider in one thermal. Usually I try to avoid it but in this case it was mandatory to gain some meters.

    All those bugs on your leading edge and you keep on flying unconcerned . I have bug whipper on my glider , I wonder why you don't use one . I remembere I was in a Libelle at 1,000meters ,30km from the airfield so the flight back home was feasable but as my leading edge was "pelted" with bugs , maybe 1 on each centimeter that a made a forced outlanding halfway (15km) to home .

    Stefan, at a 10h flight, with drinking a lot of water to be hydrated, where do you pee it out, or better what device are you using. One way slips for incontinent, or a milk bottle, or special pee bottle, catheter and a plastic bag at the leg, you could do a whole video about this interresting question. 🤔😊👍
