0885ful USPHA is for USA you know... if you live there, I think on uspha they list instructors. Or google it. As far as I know in US all pilots must be certified anyway, specially tandem, so probably any commercial pilot you find advertising will be certified. I myself live in Brazil and things around here are a mess. I don’t have any certification at all (not an instructor though), but many instructors don’t have it as well. There’s no law requiring it. CBVL has the status of a club, and I hope it always stays like this because they are completely fucked up and I’d rather fly illegal than pay a cent to them. Hope that helps :)

sfbluestar 1) not definitely, but possibly depending on weather conditions and some skill to find thermals to bring you back there 2) You can always dive to go down quickly, but that only helps if there is a nearby landing zone that a car can pick you up. Other than that the best you can do is a “speedrun”, fly along the ridge as quickly as possible to the nearest landing zone. Check Wolfgang Siess channel, he has filmed many crazy speedruns.
@christianfournier68623 жыл бұрын
@sfbluestar= To complement the answer of Érico_Schmitt: The problem if you have to land in an unplanned area is to find the right spot. It is preferable to find a flat expanse of land, but not a must: my first contact with hanggliding was to retrieve a pilot who had landed in the dry bed of a river, which was strewn with rocks! The beauty of hanggliding is that one can land like a bird, just on a chosen spot. The danger is elsewhere: if there is wind and obstacles such as trees or houses near the landing spot, these can generate rotary air-turbulences and the hang glider can be brutally thrown to the ground with no possible remedial move. As I recall, one Brazilian champion lost his life while landing during a competition in the Alps. There was an innocuous sheperd’s cabin near the landing zone which induced turbulence, and that made his glider fall so badly that he was killed. __

@ericoschmitt4 жыл бұрын
sammy by grace if you learn foot launching first some 10-12 lessons on average, some 4 hours each. You start running at a field with wing level, later small dunes or similar. Besides that you do at least two tandem flights. I did two as a passenger before lessons plus two where I piloted the middle (but instructor took off and landed). How long that will take depends on your schedule (and instructors) and weather. I had some issues with my instructor, most classes only during weekends, so it took me some 10 months. But some people can do it during vacations and are flying in a few days. Also you can learn tow launch first, and that should take less time. Because on foot launches you have to walk the glider up the cliff/dune each time and that takes time and effort. You can spend a whole afternoon on it to get only 10 launches off a 20 meter cliff. I ended up learning boat tow only after I was ready to fly from mountains... When you begin on towing you will do several tandem flights outright, and you will learn how to pilot mid air before learning how to land (instructor will take care of that for you). This way you learn first to control the glider, and that makes it faster to learn launch/land later (less days walking the glider up the dunes). It could cost more since your lessons will involve a tow trike and another pilot (if its aerotow) or a boat, or a winch, all requiring a third person and fuel. Sometimes you wont have an option. The boat tow wasnt operational when I started. But if you have an option, learn tandem towing first, and later learn foot launching and landing. Much faster. You could be flying in as little as a couple weeks. Only remember you have to learn a minimum if theory before that, and you can do it right away. Plus you can learn a lot if you are into sailplane simulator. Buy Condor 2 and start learning how to soar on your computer! Many pilots train soaring on Condor, even HG-only pilots can benefit greatly to practice on that simulator. Also check Microflight 7 sim, its simple but has a HG in it with decent physics. Not the yellow-red with engine, you can download another one without engine :) its green and blue. Go figure lol.
@ericoschmitt4 жыл бұрын
sammy by grace oh, plus as far as ive seen, prices in US are much higher than here in Brazil. It can possibly be cheaper to spend a vacation here and learn here, even considering all travel expenses. The usd-brl exchange rate is very favorable for coming to brazil right now (I mean, after corona). At my city, Florianópolis, theres a great school called Voe Asa Floripa. They have the so far only purpose-built off the factory boat specific for HG towing. Top quality stuff, and the instructor has decades of HG and Sailplane experience, has held distance records, recorded series to Off channel... you can learn boat tow plus foot launch with him. And two of the best harness manufacturers are brazilian, so you can get a great harness for good price here, even if used. Those ae Rotor and X-wings. Mine is a Rotor, but if I were to buy a new one I’d go for x-wings. Check Wolfgang Siess and you will notice he uses a Rotor. Both are great. Same for reserve chute, you can get great stuff here. Even a beginner glider is cheaper if you can actually bring it home. I got a Skyway Sky, similar to a Wills Wing Falcon. A falcon afaik is around 4k usd, while this skyway would be around 1300 with current exchange rate (but consider the cost of taking a 3,5m 30kg package on a plane back home).

Dan Blumel Hello Dan, we call it as VG( Variable Geometry) control. If pull it, the wing angle is wider and wing sail tensions is increased. The high tension wing make the lower drag, finally we can fly more speedy but, the side effect is the wing controls is stiffer. So we have to find the best trade off between performances and controls by adjusting of the length of string.

Once you are flying at high altitude with the hang glider because the upward currents push from below, how do you determine when and where to land?
@ericoschmitt4 жыл бұрын
Ercole 91 if the thermals allow you to stay up you land when you are tired (or hungry). Same goes for wind if you are doing a ridge lift. If they die you will glide down. Usually pilots define a landing zone before launch, have some sort of flight plan. But you can always go for a wild cross country and improvise a landing zone - that’s what happen during record breaking attempts (pilots choose a direction but aren’t sure how far they will get). Pilots of unpowered aircraft must always keep an eye on at least one LZ within glide ratio, and better yet to have plan B and plan C. You can never be 100% sure that you will find good lift, so any launch spot must always have a LZ within reach if you just have bad luck and don’t find any thermals. For a flight like this he certainly had several LZ options along the way should the lift die. Also if your chosen destination requires a leap above a region without LZ below, then you have to first climb to a minimum altitude to guarantee that you will be able to glide over it even if you don’t find a thermal along the way (such as gliding over a forest or over a lake). Landing on a tree is never desirable but shit happens. Water landings are dangerous because you could be stuck in the harness and drown, plus you can easily loose all your equipment.

Liger King look for local instructors, that’s all you need. They will advise you on equipment. Also consider, if you have the spare time, that it might be cheaper to learn it in Brazil due to the current exchange rates. Even considering travel expenses. Plus two of the best harness manufacturers in the world are brazilian (rotor and x-wings, I have a rotor but I’ve been to x-wings factory and would go for that next time) and that piece of equipment will be cheaper here. Reserve chute too. So you could have an unforgettable vacation. Here where I live (Florianópolis) there’s a great school called Voe Asa Floripa (voeasa.com.br) that can teach you in a very short time since they use boat tow in tandem to get you several flights in a few days. You learn to fly and control the glider before learning how to run and land (contrary to the usual) so when you actually go on foot you will learn much quicker. Plus you will learn two kinds of take off in a package (tow and foot). The instructor know as Formiga is very experienced, having held south american records in 80s and 90s, as well as an accomplished sailplane pilot who has done things like recording series to the Off channel. He has been to many countries flying. There will be other instructors and places where you could possibly get something similar in south america, and will probably pay off the travel expenses.

Érico Schmitt, wow! You're so awesome for taking the time to give me the valuable information you put down here! Thank you so very much. I'm from Texas, United States and I looked up a few training schools around me (got a tip from someone who cared just like you). But I know what you mean. Everything is expensive in the United States. I looked up different glider models and found out that the cheapest costs a little over $3,000 and it is a low performance type. The highest performance in the list is just over $8,000. This is just glider alone. Glider training could cost $2,000+/-, depending on some factors. But I hope to enroll as soon as the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted and the schools are able to reopen. But again, thank you immensely for being so kind to answer my questions that even the channel owner hasn't acknowledged. You're indeed very awesome!

Liger King I’m probably going for a masters degree at SHSU later this year, just north of Houston! I’ve done my research, it seems there’s only Cowboy Up nearby, and another school near Austin. Hopefully I’ll have the cash to bring my HG stuff with me.. but right now the orchestra I play is closed, and my reserve cash (in brazilian real) is loosing value real quickly so I’m screwed, just hoping I can somehow get there by august. My glider costs 7500brl, around 1300 usd now, brand new. I’ve seen for 5k with some 20 flights and for 3k in good shape. Afaik its a copy of a Falcon 2 project but somehow performs much better. Some people have tried Falcon 4 or Malibu and say this Skyway wing is on par. The exchange rate skyrocketed recently, so I’m not sure if prices will be the same post-covid. But anyway, a boat-tow course would cost 5000brl, and a foot-launch course alone would cost that as well. But if you do both things with the same instructor then it will be a lot cheaper than 5+5k. Just check google for the exchange rates, I’m talking in BRL A rotor harness was somewhere between 4 and 5k brand new, I got my rotor used in great shape for 1500. My chute was about 3k brand new (because you should always get a brand new chute even if everything else is used). All I got so far including all courses costed me some 18k brl if I’m not forgetting anything, and the only used thing I bought was the harness. I recommend strongly that for a vario you but 2 Bluefly Vario from australia. Cheap, simple, small, super precise and pair to your phone. Thats all a beginner needs. Open the Xc-track app and off you go. Strap them to your helmet strap, leave one off as a backup (but battery lasts some 10 hours). So.. I’d say you can get all your equipment brand new plus the course here in brazil for some 20k which would translate to $3500 only. The difference pays for traveling and you can possibly even manage to bring a glider broken-down back to US. I February I met a guy here who lives in US and was planning to buy one glider just like mine and bring there... He also took some lessons here.

Érico Schmitt, wow! This is awesome info! Yes, I live in Houston. I used to be on Facebook. But not anymore. However, I could give you an email that I use for the purpose of getting info. Then, we could share counteracts via email..., if that sounds good to you. Let me know what you think. Thank you bro.

Hi i suppose to stay a long time in altitude you must have a physical good condition ? Regards

Alain Bibi I think is OK to stay a high altitude even though normal condition . I was at max. 3600m high for 2 hours maybe.

No need, since he is not working out and quite used to it

Alain Bibi only if he goes higher than that for a long time he would need an oxygen bottle. Going above 4000 without oxygen is not smart. You can pass out in a few minutes if you are not used to that. Hypoxia is dangerous stuff. Some pilots flying at those altitudes carry oxygen just in case since you could possibly be sucked by a cloud and be spit out at 6000 or more. Some unlucky have died this way.
