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?

On a standard length throttle cable you wouldn’t have the travel required to achieve hands fully up or full down for the flare.

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?

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!

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.

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 .

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

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.

@planocomplejo2 жыл бұрын
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?
@stephenkeen60442 жыл бұрын
It could be that the combined angle-of-attack increase of entering lift and dumping speedbar caused the wing to surge forward (centre-of-pressure moves back) enough for the angle of attack to go negative? If at low altitude, could also be that by the time the wing surges, it hits sink at the "far side" of the thermal. Depending on the glider design, it's either best to stay fully accelerated through turbulence, or go trims in and fly "actively" like a normal paraglider.

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?
