Tolles Video 👍🏻, hab den Skywalk Spirit ebenfalls ins Auge gefasst als 2.Gleitschirm😍🪂.

Der Schirm macht schon Spass. Zudem ist das Packvolumen ziemlich klein :)

@paradude0 Hast du Erfahrungen zum Pi3 ? Wie schneidet der im Vergleich zum Kode P bzw Spirit ab ? Habe gerade die Qual der Wahl zwischen Kode P 18, Spirit 85+ und Pi3 19 (bei 95kg) ..

[@paradude0]

Hallo Tobias, ich konnte den Pi3 in 16m2 testen (bei ca 78kg). Also die gleiche Grösse wie der Spirit und Kode P. Ich würde den Pi3 und den KodeP gleichsetzen und den Spirit als die Variante mit etwas mehr passiver Sicherheit bezeichnen. Gut sind sie alle, daher wäre hier auch vertretbar, den Schirm nach dem optischen Erscheinungsbild zu wählen. 😅

@@paradude0 Hey, dickes danke erstmal. Glaub ich hab dir hier jetzt schon mindestens vier Fragen gestellt 🥲🫶🏽 Glaube am Ende des Tages läuft es dann wohl auf das Design hinaus und das gewissen extra an Passiver Sicherheit nehm ich bei Spirit gerne mit :) Danke dir !

Did you mount the cam in the Backpack ? Love the angle

[@paradude0]

Yes, on the side of the backpack. You can see its shadow. (it is a insta360 X3 with the standard selfie stick)

[@OreanoX]

Wow!

[@andyinzuerich]

It looks like it almost collapses during the barrel rolls or is it just the camera angle?

[@paradude0]

Yes, at some rolls the wing got a little wobbly at some parts, but thats only due to my execution. If it collapses i would blame the pilot and not the wing. (as in most of the cases) I also did on purpose some very shitty rolls to see how it behaves in these cases. Once for a glimpse there was actually half the wing gone, but it recovered very very fast. (shitty rolls = i took too little energy for the swing)

👏

[@battestini8918]

how is it?

[@paradude0]

in short: A lot of fun and easy to handle I flew it in the smallest size (14m2 projected) and loaded around 78kg. The wing just pops up at the start and you are ready to go. Due to the small size it builds up some speed and you can enjoy the dynamic of the wing. But even tough you can fool around with this wing quite a lot, it still behaves very forgiving (imo). But yeah, I only had two flights with it so maybe I can't make the best judgement, but I really enjoyed the wing.

[@paradude0]

@@battestini8918 not in the near future. What would you have liked to see?

[@kevinhogan5141]

@@paradude0 have you flown the Tonic for comparison

[@paradude0]

​@@kevinhogan5141 nope i didnt. But a friend of mine did, and he said that the starting is more comfortable with the Spirit. According to him, the Spirit does not dive as much as the Tonic after the first moment when you start flying. (Furthermore the Spirit is lighter and can be packed more compact) Hope you can use something from this answer ✌
