What an awesome flying machine. Where is a video of the test flight?

不知道适合新手驾驶吗？还是得经验丰富的飞行员驾驶？

Is this wing okay for a beginner/novice to own, or is it only intended for highly experienced pilots to fly?

😅

È bellissimo ma è anche troppo macchinoso a prepararlo.

I am having my best flying experience ever with this wing

Wow

That's what I tell my wife all the time. This guy reminds me of me.

I hope all is going well after this time passed. My father was in rehab with Collin. I'd love to be able to take him to a concert if he makes it out of the hospital this time around.

👍

So VQ is basically VR without winglets

Thank you

That looks very complicated to set up, compared to a flex wing.

May I propose a little enhancement? As I am looking at this video I recall that my friend broke one of his flaps. It happened because of the slack the wing has in relation to keel while it is being setup and one of the flaps was compressed against its fellow upright and bent until cracked :( I think that it can be avoided at all if the flaps were built from two pieces like first spoiler is.

Beautiful machine, unbelievable technology and performance. Hard to believe US pilots still flying their old rogallos. If Dustin and Jonny had been on these, the Open Distance Record would be 700 miles. The real advantage of a rigid wing however, is not on record days, but the ability to turn average flying conditions into epic days.

Were those tows static line or payout? How high were you getting on tow? Thx

looks sl;ow.

Nice BJ!

Why is your Speedbar overturned 180°Grad?

Thanks. Making the video's of myself have been useful to see mistakes that my mind's eye may have remembered differently. Really helped the learning curve. Feel free to reach out with any questions you have. You might like the most recent video I made here: VRS Flight in Tegelburg Take care!

Hi BJ thanks for posting your vid. Dean has shared your vid. to show some of your technique for efficient flying. Keep em coming, as us newbies to thermal and xc can always benefit from your experience and expertise.

BJ, thanks much for the video. Very informative. Will update my breakdown procedure and try to get it down to 12 minutes like Felix. :-)

way fun!!!

Great video. Looks like you packed a bunch into the weekend

very cool

cool beans

first comment in 6 years.. dusty ass video

im going for thanksgiving woooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANT WAIT TO HIT THE SLOPES< WHOS WITH ME!!!! lol

Looks like big fun. So you guys volunteered to go flying at Williams this weekend?

Nice!

@nomoreidea Dinosaur, CO is in Northwestern Colorado just east of the Utah line.

@SubRandomv6 Depends on where you learn. Lessons very in both time & expense depending on your location. Lower elevations and those close to the ocean have thicker air and consistent mild winds making flying/learning easier (warm weather also helps). Then there's how much the cost of living is in the area. I would plan on $2000 for lessons but it will very. When ready you can get a used beginning glider & harness for under $2000 if you keep your (or your instructor/dealer's) eyes and ears open.

so luxurious

now that's one fine ramp! damit, I really wan't go there!

Thanks for the tip bro!!!!!!!!!

Too many rocks in Field #2!!!

Dude, thanks for the flashbacks!! YOu got some awsome footage for sure man!

Almost positive its grand review under pete's express

What a scennerry!!!!

how'd you mount the camera?

Very nice flight. Where is it?

fuck you! :)

Did you speed up some of that footage?

thanks!greatship great flight.

thanks!how high were you?

I know, its like I'd rather jump off the cliff.

almost had a keel bouncer there, close one. but a nice soar altogether

That was my fav. too can't wait to go back!!

That was cool - I've never seen an entire glide before - that looks so fun!

Nice helmet cam - what kind of set up are you using?
