How to Choose the Right Paraglider (Part Three: Weight Ranges)

[@razzadazzas]

once again cracking video on helping people find a wing that is best suited to them rather than insisting on a certain brand , very helpful and informative ,if any one watches all these videos carefully and pays attention they can make a more informed decision and hopefully find a wing that is best suited to them that wont make them feel uncomfortable or set them back in there flying career, well done greg keep up the good work

Ok, here's what's missing in this excellent discussion - wings for heavy pilots. How about a segment on wings choice for heavy pilots who have to select Tandem wings as their first wing. 130-135 Kg. There are no other videos on KZbin on this topic, you'd be doing us a great service. I am told I should use a 38m small tandem wing. where my 155Kg flying weight in the middle of the wing's rated weight range. Would you agree?

I gots yer solution. 2 little wings. Bam! Problem solved! Damn I'm a genius! You can place them one on top of the other or staple (or duct tape) them at the tips, your call.

Really appreciate the effort y'all put into these - informative and great production quality. Verifiable diamond in the rough when compared to other shops that put out thinly veiled video sales pitches touted as 'educational'. Please keep them coming..

As always answers based on the practical science of flying to my dormant half-formed questions! Thank you!

[@MrBAMF-xl2km]

Can you clarify please. If a wing has a rating of 80-100 kg, you state the sweet spot is around 50-75% of that range. Does that mean the ideal loading would be 90-95 kg? For example, considering the 20 Kg spread, 50% is 10 Kg over the 80 Kg low rating and 10 Kg under the 100 Kg upper rating...placing 90 Kg at 50% and 95 Kg at 75%. ?? I'm just trying to be sure I correctly understand. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

Very good information! I gotta know, how did you attach the camera to the riser?

[@greghamerton4422]

most of this was a camera on the wing, using a magnetic mount. There are a few over-shoulder shots which is just a selfie stick thrown over my shoulder and pinched against the side of the harness. If you're into the film-making side of things, join us over on patreon.com/flybubble

[@moshe6501]

Can I suggest comparing different conjunction (harness + paragliding) and the resulting handling and control?

[@uni000ver000sal]

Any ideas what wing size one should get when one is 135kgs all up? No much choices out there.Should one go to a small tandem wing?

[@notafanatic]

celery for 3 months then buy a normal wing.

[@lucywucyyy]

how would i go about finding a wing for someone who weighs 100lbs?

[@tobiasbrunner4720]

Nova ION 5 Light has XXXS size

[@robinjwallace]
