Best explanation ever! Thank you, Marc! I think it will be also great to demonstrate - in a 100% safe manner, of course - typical beginner mistakes and the effects they induce in the wing, like inducing a frontal, symmetrical or asymmetrical, pulling on the wrong brakes inducing a wrong roll. Or tips on how to untangle the lines. Great channel! 👍💪👍Keep these awesome videos coming!🙏

Hi ! Candid question. Aside of being fun and challenging, what is the purpose of wing overs ? Can it be considered as a quick descent manœuver ?
@leavesleyaviation3 күн бұрын
Good question Yoann, Well you loose height doing wing overs so I guess the answer is yes, I personally do them for the fun and G-Force, doing good wing overs both sides is an art and fantastic to get them perfect.

I agree I like open harnesses. But when it’s soarable here in NorCal it’s freezing! So pods are very much useful to stay warm

Hi Marc, Great video like always. Writing out of Vancouver Canada. Had my first paragliding lesson last weekend and will continue this weekend. I have a question regarding wing selection. I want to do both Paragliding and eventually also transition to Paramotoring. I am looking at a Apco F5. Will it be possible for me to use this wing for both ? I am a male, 62 years old and 82kg.
@leavesleyaviationАй бұрын
From what I have heard it’s a good wing for both matey but I have not flown one. All the best to you and all wings these days are good.👍 🪂

Nice, very good you strongly mentioned etiquette, sometimes on smaller hill, where there is litttle bit crowdy, it is big problem, everybody want to be established and some people have problem with correctly joining others in thermal. About this finger wrap, isnt't it hurting on the finger? I do hand wrap when circling in very weak thermal in flats, so it is not so tiriring, but doing it over one finger seems to me like too much pressure n the finger.

Leading edge rods get bend when you fold leading edge inside down. Bad. Better just pack leading edge all together, the rest of the glider doesnt matter
@charliedenny1Ай бұрын
I flew with one of the test pilots from advance in Switzerland and he completely disagreed. Said I was wasting time, the roads are designed to bend and spring back. I'm still unsure but I sometimes do it his way if I'm getting the wing wing out within an hr!!

@@charliedenny1if it’s good enough for the best pilot Chrigel Maurer it’s good enough for me. Yeah the rods can be bent these days without any problems.
@leavesleyaviationАй бұрын
@@AndreyGreenYtube You’re totally correct but this pack I personally use is what the eagle uses so good enough for me.
@@charliedenny1 Good competition pilots get their wings for free from sponsors, just for the season. For them yes, it makes no sense to care about rods too much because they will sell the wing shortly after

Hi, Thank you for the instruction. I don't harmonica my gliders myself. i just make sure all cells are upon eachother and strap them down. Then i roll the sides in like a sausage. this way i don' t get sharp folds.
@leavesleyaviationАй бұрын
I think that would be just as good, as long as cells are happy.

Would love to learn to paraglide, but it's not something that you get second chances if you have a misfortune accident. Rappelling might be safer and more affordable to get into.

Hello Marc. What a beautiful place to fly. I'm Frank from Kilkenny in Ireland. Our weather for flying the past few years is so bad. I have 15 years flying but would like to do a guided xc of 50 km or more. Perhaps 100 km. I have a rush 6 which is amazing to thermal on. I am still learning after all these years and would love a guided xc so I can relax and enjoy it, instead of being stressed out in mental rough thermals. Your video and instruction was brilliant. So calm and relaxed. Well done you. Best of luck to all your students. Where do you mainly guide from. Thanks Frank
