5:56 What is the black cable in front of tension rope on the nose of the glider? Looks like it is caught between the ropes at the upper right pulley 6:09
Not sure! I've just bought the VQ Race, which is a newer model with a carbon keel and the tailplanes trim automatically with the different flap settings. The black cable looks like a loop and looks similar to the handle for the speed brakes (which this glider doesn't have), but this can't be that handle.
A LOT of set up.. I have an old Exx... and it’s a bit much on a windy day....side of a hill...etc....ie the real world.. A gentle breeze would be very difficult for this ATOS setup....
What a beauty! I thought setup was more complicated. Enjoy!
What is that tool he uses to bring the leading edges together at the nose?

Супер крило ! Дали ще имам щастието да се порея в небето с него !
Very interesting craft, but I would only fly it once a year, the setup looks brutal.
12min. A flex wing can take 15-20m

23,497 people had Zero to say about the leading edge of Hang gliding Tech ... Wow .
Strange ! Indeed .
All set up 10 min ?Realy ?
I would need 10 day's to get that shit together.... and still some nuts and screws left over in a bag....
Well you can see how fast he's rushing...

Nah. It’s a similar setup time as a U2 once used to it. I set mine up on mountainsides typically.
They often rig faster than I do my Seedwings Spyder and honestly haven't seen them struggling with wind. I fly in the Alps
Flex wing pilots need to be retrained.
That just looks too easy to set up
12 mins, rigid wings are getting ridiculously sick.
