I'm very surprised by the comment at 4:10 that a small cravatte leads to more drag than the collapsed side, is that really so ?

from my experience, yes. a safe wing can be collapsed 25% and fly straight with little correction. a similarly sized cravatte would send you in autorotation if not corrected for. I think you can find my SIV videos on my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZfKlmutaJuceLs

What wing is that? Seems very easy to stall
@mystershow Жыл бұрын
I would say an Advance - Alpha since the glider seems to be forgiving

From the color scheme and the number cells (counted >30 on a half wing) this is an Advance Sigma 10 (EN-C)

This is an Advance Sigma 10 (EN-C) and it is actually very hard to stall. This wing wants to fly and bravely resists all attempts to stall it. I have 500+ hrs on it and an SIV as well. In normal flight, you need to pull your brakes a lot to stall or spin the wing, and the brake pressure is extremely hard down there. Indeed, with one side collapsed or when braking too long on catching a surge, you can easily (accidentally) stall it. But it's nothing special for this wing, it's a common behavior for all paragliders.

thanks all for your response I haven't flown any Advance paraglider for a long time, it was in the early 90's I thought it was an Alpha by the color scheme and the fact it was recovering well, I didn't go further I stand corrected and thanks for all the informations Always a pleasure to read the comments here
