Hi , would appreciate your advice on how Zero 2 launches in 20 + mph , what technique would you advise?
@DansEscapades18 күн бұрын
I’d either cobra launch or reverse launch for sure. I have flown in those wind conditions and it’s alright….. just be careful
@pianoforest5815Ай бұрын
Hi, do you need special license or ticket to launch there? Thought it was for tandem flight only.

@@todd.foster77 it’s deffo the simplest and rawest form of flying I think. The app I used to use was PPGPS - quite simple to use and easy to read. Now I use an app called Gaggle. It has more features on it and about 4 quid a month. You can get a “flight deck” that clips to the front carabiners allowing a platform for what ever you fancy- phone, camera, snacks ….

Great advice. It does seem like the last loop on your deployment bag was pretty tight. It should come undone under its own weight, you shouldn’t have to pull it that hard, hopefully whoever packs your reserve will do a better job, sometimes the factory pack isn’t ideal.

They have a wireless connection and can have up to 30 strobes with simultaneous ignition and flashing synchronization. They also have the peculiarity that they are completely repairable and all their parts they are achieved. I consider it the best option at the moment, due to its capabilities, power and low price.

Seems a little like operator overhead to me. That tent is probably in the top 5% of simple tents Half your video seems to be rant, which, honestly, evidences an issue not originating with the tent Not to be an asshole or anything, but ALL tents are pretty complicated until you figure them out completely. And if you don't camp often, you figure it out again each time! On it goes until you rip it, break it, or lose a crucial piece. Then you buy a new one and the cycle begins anew. God forbid you loan your tent out to someone😅. Nah, bruh. Besides price- the tent ain't your problem. That's okay though. Frustration breeds patience. I'm interested in a follow up. Did you use it once and put it away? Good luck on your adventures!
