Best instructor you can find. He will always help anyone who needs it. And best vaca you will ever have. Makes you feel like family. Great video dell🤙🤙
Thank you for giving me the information on flying through a cloud and thank you very much for giving more information then I can find anywhere on the internet about how the trims work
No wonder all my trims down kiting leads to me either trying to bull my way forward or just getting sucked away in general haha. If I was a millionaire I'd have taken your class yesterday.
Well you only get to be a millionaire by doing things right. Poor people think they are too poor to get proper gear and training but then end up losing all their money destroying the crap gear because of no training. If you got SUPER training along with a Flat Top & Dominator you could be out there making $5000 a day doing tandems instead of talking about how you don't have enough money for the best gear and training in the world. :) Just something to think about.
@@DellSchanze Solid points. I ended up building my own paramotor which I know will make you sick 😄. When I take your class I'll bring it and you can judge it and crucify it. PS the more I worked on it, the more I wish I had just bought a flattop from the start.
Dang...... how can anybody give this a thumbs down???? I have been watching PPG videos for over 5 years and have never heard such great explanation before. There are some real haters out there.
Dell how much altitude do you lose while you're flying trims up? If you flew with trimmed up and speed bar could you have a chance of inverting the wing because of the angle you put the wing in and how much altitude do you lose line that way?
Got one question you said with the trims up and you raise the rear end of your glider you lower the angle of attack wouldn't that just be the opposite with the trims up because with the trims up you raise the rear of the glider you make the glider go faster? Because the speed bar make it even steeper of an attack if I'm understanding the video right?
Yes that's correct. When you have risers without trims it's the speedbar that gives 100% of the acceleration through lowering the angle of attack. Those with trims reduce the speedbar by the amount the trims add. So like with the Dominator you get about 40% of the speed from trims and the other 60% from the speedbar making for 100% of the acceleration through angle of attack. Other gliders have very different ratios. The Dominator is the ultimate because even with trims up it gives incredible speed but without really sacrificing safety much at all. With other gliders you won't likely get near the increase in speed nor maintain anywhere near the safety. Trims up on many gliders and the safety goes right out the window. Especially with hoaxflex death trap wings they call "reflex". Trims up on those and you turn it into a complete and total death trap. One collapse and they do a backflip 180 and lock into a face down spiral straight at the ground. That's why zero competent pilots fly them. Hope that helps.
Am I getting this wrong, is a wing like a sail on a ship the backwards? Sailboat catches the wind that's coming from behind it so is the wing catching the wind is coming from in front of it? I'm trying to understand the angle of attack.
You ask some funky questions. A paraglider is a wing that produces lift. It's about getting the wing that produces the best lift and gives the best performance but while at the same time has the best stability and safety. That's the Dominator. How or why a sail works compared to a paraglider is not really my area. I just test piles of gliders and know the Dominator is the ultimate. Why it's the ultimate I don't know for sure. I just know it is from vast testing and experience.
No. The Dominator is the safest class of glider. There is simply no reason to lack safety as it also has the most performance. So it would be silly to have a less safe glider that also has less performance than the super safe Dominator.
I am not sure how many people in this class understood what Dell said. It is crucial to make an animated video showing angle of attack, trim, the impact of air touching front or back of the glider, use of a riser and its impact on glider.
Did you go to training with Dell? This is just a short video. He actually shows you more in depth one on one. I saw Trevor show someone not understanding while he was kiting and instantly got it
Definetly the world's best. That Dell has a way of explaining things that just makes sense.
After 2 hours looking on UA-cam I finally found this video and you explained all about the risers and was just what I was looking for.
Best instructor you can find. He will always help anyone who needs it. And best vaca you will ever have. Makes you feel like family. Great video dell🤙🤙
You have all the best necessary tips from 3:00 to 4:40 in you awesome workshop :)
Thank you!
Very good explanation of the setting of trimmers during takeoff, flying and Landing. This is exactly what I needed to be sure about
Best video ever explaining trimmers thanks del

Awesome video Dell. He knows his stuff
I am the number one instructor!
Dang...... how can anybody give this a thumbs down???? I have been watching PPG videos for over 5 years and have never heard such great explanation before. There are some real haters out there.
I even saw that the trim was up. And I just watch on youtube :-)
Very Nice👍👍Great instruction with So many students
Why does one fly with trims down? Oh, never mind you answered it later in the video.
This helps a lot..... Thank you....

Why? You wanting to be Top Gun? Only Maverick flys inverted

Ok how do you push a rope
Muito bom !!!
Does the dominator come in different classes?
No. The Dominator is the safest class of glider. There is simply no reason to lack safety as it also has the most performance. So it would be silly to have a less safe glider that also has less performance than the super safe Dominator.
