2024-10-18 - How (NOT) to Full Stall in Oludeniz

[@cobrayescobra]

Thank you for sharing, especially because it is not perfect! Considering my first how (not) to full stall Oludeniz experience, you did great! Of course there is room for improvement, but that's what we try to learn. From understanding 2-stage stalls to actually doing them are a long way. I would have been very happy with these stalls on my second flight, especially with this high aspect ratio wing.

Thanks man for finding something nice to say! Agree, they were far from perfect but they still felt like a huge achievement! Only after 40-50th stall I felt that I have enough time to think about entry types, heading, practice hand positions, time better my exits... Anyway... time to clear my HDD of these clips so I will upload a compilation these 83 full stalls... for a winter evening and for me to watch it next time when I go to Oludeniz :)

Looks like you have a broken brake line, was it from the start or happened during it? Also where are you mounting the camera? chest? thx

[@florinelzx6r]

that's correct, good observation. They broke after the first full stall: one line close to the right tip on the upper cascade and another one closer to the middle right of the glider but on the second cascade so affecting a big part of the trailing edge. I decided to continue the exercise, I was curious how much the behavior will be affected...

[@dymanoid]

Your entry is not really nice. Do you actually do 2-stage? You let the wingtips go too far back so that they even touch. That's dangerous and can make the whole things more unstable. I'm curious why your SIV instructor didn't mention this.

[@florinelzx6r]

Esthetics were not part of the evaluation criteria at this point but no worries... don't you even think I got any cookies from the instructor either... It was work in progress and, gradually, in the following flights, some of the stalls got much better... and some of them were way more terrible. Hopefully all of the attempts are contributing for a safer future, that's the whole point.

[@hanumandorje584]

Right on! And the instructor congratulating him is worrying.

[@letawci]

which flight recording software and hardware was used

[@florinelzx6r]

Gopro for the video file. Garmin Fenix 5x for the GPS track (GPX format). Dashware to embed the telemetrics onto the video...

@@florinelzx6r very very nice, thank you for the feedback. If you will be ever flying in Slovenia give me a ping.

[@paddledogs]

@@florinelzx6r Really nice job both from the SIV and the video. Can I ask what you set the garmin to for the flight (i.e. Run, Track Me, Hike, etc). Thanks

[@florinelzx6r]

@ Thank you! Oludeniz delivered a very good experience indeed! I defined an “activity” on my watch, called Paragliding with a couple of data windows mainly focused on ground speed and altitude. The watch is recording the same data regardless of what activity you do, the customizations are only to show the data fields you need.

@@florinelzx6r Great idea, thanks!
