Very cool! I'm a paraglider. Must know something already about the manufacturing process.

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Hi, there Is the link to that on the description!

[@nathanbarraud]

Absolutely amazing ! 🤯 And it's the first transparent wing too, must be invisible in the distance ! 🤣

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Ahahah really thanku, yes It Is quite stealth 😂

[@robinharrischapman9802]

Dude thats awesome! I just got finished making a wingsuit and a 3m traction kite. Mad props I know exactly how hard this is to do!

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Robert Harris Yes, 6 months of hard work every day!!!

[@joemaiocco9778]

Luca Ghivarello, Yo!!! Love what you did! Just wondering if you could make more vids with the plastic paraglider? Maybe put a motor on it or something

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Hi,now i am really busy with the study but sometimes i open It to do some ground handling and check if It is still ok,maybe in the future i could make other video!

[@rameswarboro5195]

Robin Harris I'm working on a homemade paraglider project too and i'm having difficulty in building the panels specially becoz they are of different size, any easy way to do it?

[@lucaghivarello2959]

thank you! (:

[@Miner4aheartofgold]

Incredible! I suppose its almost invisible from a distance. Is this how angels fly? Its seems a crazy amount of effort for what is essentially a disposable wing. Thumbs up!

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Miner4aheartofgold Yes it's invisible! I have done it for demonstrate the concept (for the secondary school exam) that also with a very few of resources you can do what you believe in (the total cost of the wing is about 85 euros).however i am not crazy and i use the wing only for very low altitude flight and ground handling!

[@Miner4aheartofgold]

Luca Ghivarello Didn't mean to imply anything about you . I wasn't saying that YOU were crazy. For a student even 85 Euros is a large sum. Keep in mind that the average new glider depreciates at around 10 Euros per hour of use. Can you get more thann 8.5 hours of use? If you call your time free, it could still be a cheap glider. I assume you have the patterns... I am curious about what you did. Is it made of common polyethylene? How did you bond the seams? Did you keep track of how many hours you took to make it? What did you use for cordage?

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Miner4aheartofgold Yes it is made of common polyethylene (used for the greenhouse) How i have connected the line and all the hours of work will be pubblicated soon when i will publish the relation in which i explain all!

[@cristiansosa6822]

Hello!!! Friend, how fantastic your paraglider looks, brother, I can't believe it, it flies very well but a few meters I ask you what kind of plastic, cords you used to make it and in what measures it would be good to make paragliders like this with a simple sail, it is sold all over the world it is used for practices in spaces that do not have trees, it is disassembled, it only has a flat hill for take-off, when the person knows how to handle fly in a common closed paraglider with drawers where the air enters, you can tell me where to get the plans I'll thank you. Congratulations Greetings!

[@lucaghivarello2959]

Hi, thank you! The plastic is the one used for the greenhouse and the cords are the ones used for fishing (dyneema material). In the link leaved under the video there are the web site with the planes and all the project explained. Unfortunately it is only a technological dimostrator and i think is not good to be used for practices beacuse could be very dangerous use it.

[@cristiansosa6822]

@@lucaghivarello2959 I understand Lucas can cause accidents and if I make it smaller 1mts to use it with radio control it will do no problems, thank you very much for your answer.

Good afternoon sir! Excellent you have a single-layer paraglider made of polyethylene! And the main thing that flies well and holds a heavy load! Please tell me-because I, too, make your way wings(kites,speedglider)----I would like to know how you fastened all joints between the ribs and the cloth dome? Welding+soldering film and then all reinforced with pieces of reinforced tape? Thank you sir!

And wait once more, does the A risers are a bit smaller than the C risers near to the trailing edge?

Thank you! I googled it and found it for sale on amazon. "0.05mm thick"... 50 microns. I have some 10 micron plastic sheet which I tried to heat-weld as you showed in your project paper... but 10 micron is too thin, too fragile and just breaks. Maybe I will try with 50 micron :)

Remember that you have to put alluminum paper (used too cook) between the plastic and the iron (if melt put more sheet).It is not easy to found the right temerature(also you can lowered the temperature of the iron)!

Such BS, I saw these at Walmart for $29, they're one-use throw away wings, like rubber gloves

[@ryanfarrell8370]

That doesn't make any sense? Single-use paraglider wing? That wouldn't even be allowed to be sold, let alone cost $29. Your comment is what's "BS"!
