Im really getting interested in paramotor wing design and reflex technology, I found your video really useful, also check out Mitch G think he's on the same page but Dell is on another planet

I drove these in the 80s when I worked in cemeterys

Having just seen Dell's view of the reflex wings NOW I get YOUR video which is AWSOME for me because I love to hear all sides of any story. So far my conclusions is tentatively about the pilots REACTIONS to changes in angle of attack. It seems like if you do NOTHING on a reflex wink it will stabilize itself but if you are on a non reflex wing you NEED to apply action to maintain stability. This makes me wonder what happens if a pilot reacts according to a non reflex wing but is actually on a reflex wing This MAY BE the problem some pilots experience.

Why can't you clip the cable into the carabiner clip there, or similar, to stop it going backwards?

Macpara has a Reflex wing called Charger. It has wingtip stearing which is supposed to be used when trimmers are all the way out, ( Reflex setting. You stow main brake toggle and use the wingtip stearing toggle). Anythoughts?

Pls Sir what is the HP of the engine and what is it highest RPM sir❤

Curiously, dumpers never caught on in the USA, even today these useful machines are never seen.

The only reason Dell hates reflex wings is because the wing he sells (rebranded Cima) and therefore has exclusive rights to, is old non-reflex technology, so naturally he hast to bash everything and anything that is NOT his equipment. Even though he has some moderately decent training videos, I can’t watch more than a minute of them as his personality gives me cold chills.🥶🥶

Hi! I would like to ask dont you have a technical description or manual about this dumper? My friend has this type of dumper (Benford OPP/SWING), but he cannot use it, because in hungary we need the technical description/ manual for the exam. I am not an expert about dumpers, i just try to help to my friend. If you have any technical description or manual we would appreciate if you would send me a copy about it. Of course we would pay for it. Thank you!

Which engine?

The question may have been asked already, but why isn't there a more rigid protection at the back, like a steel mesh instead of what looks like a rope net?

I need to repair the steering box on my dumper where did you get the parts from.

Found this really helpful, great video thank you

Excellent explanation. Clarified the mess for me beautifully.

Hi, couldn't comment on your previous videos, anyhow very interested on how you adapted the Honda ignition onto the Weslake as i have lots of them for hovercraft use and plenty of spares parts but only have minimal ignition parts, so your video caught my attention. it would be great to have a chat with you if you have time, but i'm unsure of how i can get any contact details to you via you tube as it delet me putting my email addy up on comment, any ideas??

Thanks for the great explanation. It's all clear now.

I remember these machines on building sites in the 70s . Useful machine still .

How did you get on with the V2? I am assuming something like 75m to launch compared to the Moster (50m ish) I really like the efficiency of the baileys and I like long lazy xc flights. Half way through building a trike for a Avian Fly17 just now and I have a V2 to use... Hoping not to have to use a two stroke.

I really want to get into this sport, and I've been lurking on the sidelines for some time. However, I'm a bit skeptical to pull the trigger due to misleading or inconsistent information. This style of education is exactly what this sport needs. More intellect, and less 'bro science' explanations. Thank you!

Thinking of getting into the sport can you point in the direction of a good EN-A certified reflex wing. Thank you in advance.

nice level headed excellent how it works video .. No name calling .. Just good solid presentation of how it works . No screaming ,yelling rolling eyes . just the presentation of FACTS . Brilliant well done . top man . Such a shame that a certain group of instructors are seemingly unable to put their personal aims to one side and present the facts as you have done . I have followed your presentation closely and can glean that the reflex wing will automatically adjust for some levels of turbulence . Whereas any non reflex design will need to be actively flown through sketchy / undesirable conditions . . The question with pops up in my logic filter .WHICH ONE is more likely to end in tears . IE which one will return to a flying wing rather than a bag of twisted up shroud.. all things being equal . dramatic statements like face down , plant etc are not very constructive . I have dabbled in Lawn darts( hang Gliders ) and flown as passenger on a paraglider and flown [passenger in a trike hang glider .. The Hang glider trike was the most controllable with excellent feedback .

Dell is an idiot🤣

Super job Ian. If I didn't know any better I would think you read the test results. Here is a link for the actual NASA test on the reflex design, I think back in 2003 or something. The test speak for themselves and rightly show ignorance in aerodynamic theory, especially surrounding reflex glider wings. ntrs.nasa.gov/api/citations/20040161133/downloads/20040161133.pdf

thanks you for info . I just bought used RAMA FLEX 22M 4 YEARS OLD .what do you think of this ? and are you going to the open uk championships in July?

Thank you for sharing

Great explanation from an actual aeronautical engineer taking the "Super trainer" to task... well done sir! 👏

And there is privacy on your videos for comments. Your content is showing as kid's content, could you please change settings as well?

Hello hope you're doing well I've same engine but I'm unable to start it because of ignition which is I think designed for high rpm to start engine And there's no starter builtin engine.. Could you please help me?

I have been paragliding since 1998. In 2010 I decided to switch to a reflex paraglider and I bought OZONE Roadster I have flown with it in a variety of conditions (both free flying and with paramotor). In some very windy conditions I took advantage of it especially by avoiding being blown back the hill but in light wins I saw that the performance of standard paragliders was better in terms of staying in lift. Overall I can say that reflex wings have great speed and security performance however their trade-off is not generating enough lift in weak conditions. Overall, I am satisfied with this wing, still flying with it. You can watch some of my flights in my channel. Hope my comments are useful.

Nice! I like it. I am not a pilot yet and have no experience/training/experience. I will definitely keep this in mind!

Love the "Dell". Great video

Great explanation. I was watching this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/foecc4GkaZx4oNk where at 9:30 the author explains how he got a collapse on a reflex wing. He was accelerated and he went off the speed bar just before the collapse. This is the right behavior on conventional profile wings. I was wondering if on reflex wings, the reaction of releasing the speed bar while encountering turbulence is the right thing to do. Maybe you can help me understand this?

Dell is a clown and very bad for the sport

Nice addition Ian. I wonder if you can get it to fly too?

its the little things! loved the video

Instant thumbs up for the dell comment 🤣😂

Hi ! As I can see this wings "pulls" ón the right side. You must always majd corrections and moving slightly left on the speedbar.

Je voudrais acheter un, quel site je dois contacter ?

Good video, great advice, turned on subtitles because the volume is very low. Worth the watch!

Excellent landing Ian 👍

Nice landing. I bet that flight felt good.

looks like crumble was catching up easily, perfect speed

Looks too easy to fly.

But but Dell said, oh, wait🤤.

This was excellent. Glad I came across this video. Thank you!

Dell won't understand this.

Could you cover ozone's sharknose tech?

Hola Soy Cristian desde Chile y estoy buscando información sobre el ultraligero Mk3 skycraft scout para poder construir uno gracias.

So if a reflex is more stable but has longer recoveries, would that make it better or worse for flying <300m AGL in heavy thermic tropical regions as opposed to a standard wing?

thumbs up fast to the point AAA PLUS
