It was a good day Don! Took us two hours to get his wing and reserve out the trees! ;)

Thanks! :)

I asked about the song. Did something Wrong and my question dint post. Nice video and Beautiful song. WoW ! Chat GPT ( Gulp)

@@XCWings Exactly! This AI stuff is scary. 😅

Good morning! Its it you Don? :)

Yip, it's me

@@SezPilot 😁

Thank you. ;)

I also fly a Z2 now. The small. Love the glider. AUW 83-85kg. My sink rate is as good as anything out there. ;)

Wait, what..!? Didnt you know that if you have a Moustache you can do what ever the hell you want! ;)

@@wild2flyparagliding160 it’s just that everything I’ve seen so far was soaring and furious speed flying down the mountains from moustache pilots. Goes to show I was wrong. Mind asking what is your weight ? Great video.

Probably you are right. ;) But the theory is that Armin thinks he can do quicker corrections in the turbulent cores - get his speed up faster and therefore adjust more efficiently and do better in the climb. Who knows for sure - in turbulent cores its often just a lucky turn that makes the difference. ;)

Yeah, those big men in the grey suits are around there from time to time! ;)

It is. You would probably love this video then. ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/imHMnnSVec98bqMsi=OrxnxEoZ5YydNx7K

There is no logic here. I think it is probably just the pilot. ;)

Indeed! Love this crazy thing we do. ;)

It is def one of the more tricky routes of the area. So a good one to do. ;)

Lots of good luck! 😂

So glad you enjoyed this one Gareth! :)

Indeed! :)

Thanks Morne! Yes, it was a nailbiter for a few moments. :)

It sure was special Kane. 👊💥🤩

Its a UP Guru. :)

Me too! At least its not as bad as the Gerrickes point lee side rotor! Now thats a bit hectic! lol 😉

It was lekker as they say Wj! And the best for 2024 to you too. ;)

Thats exactly why I want to retire Jon - so I can fly more!!! 😂

@@wild2flyparagliding160 😜 lol of course , Now I get it , see you soon boet 😎

Thank you! And happy new year to you too! 😎

We sure do! 😊

Not exactly sure. Armin looks slightly heavier than me - Im 74kg and the Zeno is 21m projected area. 😉

I do not know. 😉

Thanks 🤗

I dont have much experience on the 26 but it is way different to the 18 (I owned an 18). The 26 does thermal better than the 18 with less break pressure (though the intent is not necessarily for thermaling even if it does it very well.). 😉

@@wild2flyparagliding160 Thanks ;) As it is the most collapse resistant wing ever, I think it's very much for thermaling, but that's just my personal opinion and it might considerably differ from mainstream ;P

@@P4n0r4mAif you collapse cravat the flare it is important to know the tailslide immediately no matter how resistant if your inland then bad air will collapse the leading edge.

@@5ty717You can't tailslide a moustache. It will never fly backwards, ever. And from all the Mo's out there, not a single frontal collapse has been reported. Not from those soaring in 60km/h winds, nor those who dare to thermal. None.

The moustache 26 is new or relatively. The original advice was thermal air and moustaches did not go together but that was prior to the 26 coming out. Your video was very impressive and have wanted to add to my 18 which I fly at the coast. This video has made up my mind I will definitely be getting a 26. Flair moustache have revolutionised paragliding with a unique riser system. This has already been copied many like little cloud and mullet.

It is indeed a rare privilege for hang glider pilots to fly a Millennium. I treasure all my flying memories with this amazing glider. :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks for the compliment on the video. :) I dont think you would have done this on a S3.., maybe a T3 though the Atos is def better performing than a T3 (sink rate and glide) - the T3 on the other hand is much faster. (The Atos VNE is 90kph) this has to do with the rigid nature of wings versus the loadshedding capabilities of flex wings. ;)

Yes, a very popular area for paragliding (and hang gliding) ;) Wilderness on the Garden Route in the Western Cape. Google it.

I am using www.sportstracklive.com And its free too.😉

Yes and yes and yes on all three accounts. :) But the mountain launches are difficult to get to so we are all spoilt for the ease of access near the coast not to mention all the great restaurants and coffee shops near by! lol ;) The local distance record was flown on a PG from Serpentine (I pass over that spot around the 40s mark in the video) and is around 100 miles along the mountains to the west. You can do it in a hangie but the many areas with lack of landing spots makes it un attractive option to the hangies but for the PG's its fine. This is a PG flight I did from one of the mountain launches we have here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKeue6ykYsxoiqs :)

Better in all aspects except comfort. :)) The Mill is just soooo cozy - can fly for hours and hours! ;)

Dankie Pieter! Ek geniet hierdie glider hoor... ;)
