we push the speedbar inside thermal... depends on how large the turns aka uplift is.. but mostly in the thermal and on the B you have to check stronger waterfall.. on twoliner mostly not strong waterfall.. or collapse that why you have to wait on b's its like 95:5 ratio mostly no collapse..
Welcome back ari....not seen you in ages. Good to see your face on the tube of you. Crazy how you mention the use of speed bar. I've always tried to reduce oscillations in this way, hopefully with more effect on my new 2 liner from tomorrow 🥳
I was thinking that you seem a bit out of practice on the video and a bit all over the place, then you said that your brain was melted. Makes sense. Thank you for the tips!
I saw some people who had the brakes in the speed bar at the same time and got big bad twist. I just bought a wing I'm going to go take the lessons. It's an intermediate Wing epsilon 9. I'm going to learn to fly it from the start because I'm old and poor and I probably will never have another one. Thank you so much for making these videos. My mathematical analysis of the situation is this. In general we need a gradual application of the controls because it changes the pendulum of the weight at the bottom under the glider. When we put on the break for our landing we have a certain amount of speed flying level at that speed. We have the angle of the pendulum has changed and we try to break so we keep that same angle all the way down to the flare at this point the pendulum angle changes it's pretty quickly and you land on your feet if you are talented or if you are lucky.
Hi Ari, do you use ratchet pulleys on bar? I'm going to give those a go this year and interested in any thoughts on the set up, espeically from the way you describe the way you use speed bar, which is very active. Super cool videos, love your passion and enthusiasm, it's infectious :)
Great video Ari. Can you detail how you setup your speedbars? Do you use asymmetric bars, one for each step and foot, or full width bars for both feet?
EveRytime i use speed bar my low buzz z5 I feel like I’m worse off when trying to get out of sink or to make a transition… I’ll try to remember these tips thanks man
Thank you for the tips and congrats for the record :) I was thinking about that topic recently and I was trying to find some opinion about the difference between full bar + rear risers compensation vs just a half-ish bar. To me, trying to do gentle pitch corrections with just a speedbar always seemed ridiculous and inefficient (one leg bent). So for example, instead of pressing between 1/2 bar and 3/4 bar, isn't it better to fly just a 3/4 bar with more rear riser compensation? The only slight detail I found was that my wing (Peak5) has a limiter on outer A risers, so with a full bar on the tips are not accelerated to such extent as the middle part. Anyway this compensation is something I definitely need to practice more, so thanks for the ideas for training exercises! On the other spectrum, I've seen some lecture (ua-cam.com/video/LlEH4B8xElc/v-deo.htmlm15s) where they advised to enter the core of a thermal by quickly releasing the speedbar then going to a turn. What do you think about it, isn't it against all the ideas about pitch control and having the glider directly above our head? Actually what actions would you perform going full speed through a dynamic air to a gaggle climbing 5m/s?
Could a person just fly a paraglider without the speed bar without the brakes just hands up, except for landing and weight shift for all your turns? I'm only doing the groundhandling stage right now and I'm advancing very slowly. I bought the epsilon 9 because I think it's a high-end B.It's supposed to be somewhat self-correcting if the pilot has the discipline to let the wing fly it out. I am right at the top of the weight range for the wing I'm flying. It should damp out those oscillations by itself if I can just hold on and keep the weight shift steering in mind. One talented pilot said that it would dance through the sky collapsing and opening and burning off energy until it stabilized and the pilot input was to try and use active flying to cushion this process. Would flying with a drogue shoot help dampen the pitching oscillations?
@@kaisarkazi5981 the advanced company said that with the epsilon 9 it would fly better in turbulence if I could keep my hand up but they recommend active flying. Everywhere you look they say pilot error is the biggest problem so I wanted to pick something that I could do always if it isn't shooting in front of me I don't have to use the brakes. This may lead to some sort of violent Cascade. I wish I had better things like pilot skills but those take a long time to get here.
Great insight!
9 HOURS ! wow - congrats to an amazing ride!

Congrats on your new record 👏🏻🥳🏆🤠
Thank you so much 😀!!! Video coming soon!!
Grats on the new record, Ari! This was a great topic.
muy buen video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🪂

Thank you, can you tell some tips for beginners...how..when+when is safe... Why used speedbar?

Just what I thought, this would be really helpful.
Ok! I will try to make a video on how I set up my harness and bar. In short, I use a 3-step bar for my 2-liners.
@@AriintheAir Thank you! :)

What's best combo for 6+ hour PPG XC? Paramotor? Engine? Prop? Tank? Wing?
Thank you for the tips and congrats for the record :)

You can fly that way in the laminar wind and not when the wind is turbulent
