Dudek Universal 1.1 Free Flight

[@dstuts8185]

This is one of the reasons i love my universal , i also use it for FF ;)

[@MikeKing]

Awesome video mitch, really enjoy your videos, cool flight and place to ride out to.

[@mattgyver77]

Dude, I like your style. We need more sites in our area and more pioneers like you.🤙🏼

[@Robbo1966]

Great video watched it several times, looking to get out on my Uni 1.1 28m soon (UK weather dependent)! thanks

[@MitchG]

@@Robbo1966 uni is a great wing

[@flyul1]

That looked like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing.

[@Efntodd]

WoOoT. Pump me up. Free flying the universal. I want one even more now.

[@ppgaddict5248]

Mitch, great video!! Would you recommend the Uni for a beginner first wing? What other wing would you consider for a beginner ?

[@MitchG]

Universal is a great beginner wing. Ozone spyder is another option.

[@muddyudders]

I was going to ask this same question. Thanks.

[@NelsonsWings]

Sweet! Amazing altitude. If they close the Franklin's for sure I'll be out there! Looks very interesting. So, which launch is easier for crappy pilot me? Those rocks look like something I would land in... We were in the same time that day. It was classic. The far north end looks like it might have a launch near where they have been bulldozing. And there looks like other spots just below the top road all along the ridge.

[@MitchG]

This launch is much easier and more room for error IMO. From the air it looks like you can launch from lots of spots but when you get up there those rocks and bushes are huge in person. Not enough room to lay a wing out. I think you can do this launch

[@AirbornePirates]

How does this compare to a Spyder 3... I’m looking for a new wing. 26m size though :)

[@MitchG]

The spyder is known for super easy launches. The universal isn't hard to launch at all, the spyder is just a little easier cause it's so lightweight. The universal is the better performer in the air. Universal has better handling and faster top speed

[@AirbornePirates]

Mitch G thanks Mitch, what would you say is slower trims in?

[@MitchG]

@@AirbornePirates That depends on wing loading but they will both be similar. Adding a little brake pressure helps as well.

[@AirbornePirates]

Mitch G cheers dude’

[@parasportz]

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy your content. Pity the audio was unclear in the air.

[@sacooper802]

great narration and your thought process is great , that was gun shots in the background i heard?

[@MitchG]

Thanks, yeah there was a group of people shooting nearby

[@BobThePilotN4WFH]

Staying sharp.

[@ripmanridin7092]

Awesome playground........................enjoyed the vid!

[@ChrisTopher-pr5lc]

Mitch, have you flown the Ozone Roadster 3? It's marketed as a similar wing to the Universal 1.1: good for both paramotor and free-flight, and possibly paramotor thermalling. Do you know how it compares to the Universal 1.1? I have a new Roadster 3 if you'd like to try it and provide your thoughts.

[@MitchG]

I've flown a roadster2 and spyder but not the r3. What size is it? I'm down to try it and make a video

[@ChrisTopher-pr5lc]

@@MitchG 26 m2

[@MitchG]

@@ChrisTopher-pr5lc that a little big for me especially for freeflight

[@ChrisTopher-pr5lc]

@@MitchG That's ok. Look me up if you're ever in Colorado. We'll go flying.

[@308fullbore]

Thanks for the video mate😁👍

[@AdrianLeviAU]

I have a 31 and struggle to free fly it. I am a bigger unit though at 120kg

[@jdlin4230]

Did you need to change the brake pulley position for free flight? The Uni has three positions.

[@MitchG]

Nope. All factory

[@kevincanfly]

Mitch, have you ever free flown a spyder? I have both ppg/pg wing loadings on the placard. I am thinking I should fly it on the white line but trims all the way in would be safe also??....

[@MitchG]

I have only ground handled a spyder and flew one ppg. You should have trims all the way in for the lowest sink rate when freeflying.

[@577buttfan]

I'll have a roadster 3 and the manual states it's suitable for FF..trims in and use speed bar and or trims for penetration or losing alt,same glider as the Spyder just heavier fabric.

[@AnthonyVella]

Please help me learn this.

[@MitchG]

Next time you are coming with me

[@kevincanfly]

Stop being a pansy and go get you some of that Vella!!!

[@AnthonyVella]

@@MitchG YES!!!!!

[@AnthonyVella]

@@kevincanfly lmao! FINE!

[@pajorama11]

Uni has TST. So, while thermaling is most efficient to keep glider flat as possible, can you use TST for steering?

[@MitchG]

Hmm. I havent tried. The regular brakes work really good for slow flat turns on the uni

[@pajorama11]

@@MitchG cool. i must give this baby a test run. been liking it in theory for a while. And yes, its smart to keep hands on toggles all the time when freefyling.

[@superstar2983]

Ain't tryna jinx you Mitch, but am surprised you don't see a lot of dust devils out there.🌪️ summer times maybe?🤷‍♂️

[@MitchG]

Oh we see lots of them lol mostly mid day in the warmer months. I've landed out there to avoid them before

[@AnthonyVella]

FIRSTER!!!

[@kevincanfly]

Anthony Vella you were the first loser 😂... corona virus got me all hot for flying videos🤷‍♂️

[@kevincanfly]

First!
