Vlog 10: Hang Gliding Scooter Tow Class #15 at Blue Sky Flight Park - Going Prone Practice

First time moving my hands to the base-tube.
At first I was intimidated but I quickly started feeling comfortable flying in the prone position.
I definitely have to work on getting the timing of transitioning back to the upright position right for landing.
By the way I’m flying school’s training glider Alpha 180.

You are going really well!

[@behzadtamaddon1025]

Awesome our freind.

[@SVSky]

Great flying! One suggestion, once you release pull the rope from over the bar to behind it. If it catches on someting on your landing it can make for a bad day because it will jerk the base bar down. Keep up the progress!

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you so much for this advice because I meant to ask Steve about that. There were a couple flights during this class and the previous class my foot got caught on the cable a little while landing and running. Ill talk to him about it.

[@penrynbigbird]

Nicely done!!

[@Sidetrackification]

Excellent!

[@Nezenmoin2085]

Super fly 😃👍

[@ThomasLowFlyer]

So great to see your steady progress. Welcome to the community of pilots. Soon you will be soaring.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you sir😊

[@marccusnz]

Nice to see you progress congratulations Miss

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you Marc😊

[@GuyMontage451]

Awesome! You are doing great. We'll see you soon, soaring with us at 6K. Knut

[@JPNZ7]

Very nice 🎉🎉🎉

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you!

[@ficamu2]

Doing great!!

[@petehelliwell]

Good to see more progress happening. You are going really well! Take note of how wide apart your hands are when on the base bar, the wider they are the more likely you are to put a turn in to the glider when switching your hands up on to the down tubes 🤓

[@nanoraflyz]

Ahhhh, that kinda makes sense! Cus when you move a hand back to a downtube, briefly the weight inserted on the basetube is only by the other hand..so it’s better to have the hand placed toward the center to keep the glider’s path straight. Wow thank you!!!!

[@christoomey9890]

Looking good……

[@jatufin]

Great to see a new hang glider pilot in the making! Our paragliding club has few, and they're not exactly young. Those things are so sleek and fast. And rigid.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you sir! I’m excited to be part of hg and air sport community. I might looks like a kid but I’m an immature 37!👍😜

[@andymccann2716]

That was sooo cool, I'm as jealous as hell

[@nanoraflyz]

I felt the same way when I was watching all of the experienced pilots’ hang gliding videos, still do.

[@santiagosilvera9934]

Felicitaciones !!

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you so much☺️

[@Ayerstairs]

Nice flying! You'll be soaring soon!

[@nanoraflyz]

Can’t wait!🤩

[@seaportrait9684]

Looking good Nano but I did not see you catch the frisbee. You have to go back and get it. :) KoolKid in the making!!!!!

[@nanoraflyz]

😝

[@krisanderson1787]

I enjoy watching your videos! No annoying music, just the wind. I can almost feel how to fly one just by watching your videos. So please don't speed up the video in certain segments!😀 I definitely have to try this some day! The instructor on the scooter confused me at first until I researched how the scooter tow system works! Can't wait to see the truck tows!

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you Kris. Yes I love the sound of rushing wind when I’m flying and I want you guys to hear that’s why I don’t put music on. If I could just make it the way I want I wouldn’t fast forward at all but each flight is getting longer as I progress and flying a little higher. Just trying to keep my video shorter so I can include more flights. Thank you so much. It makes me happy to hear that you enjoy my video😊

[@17999msl]

Getting higher and longer flights from the truck towing is going to be so awesome. Congrats on the progress so far!!!

[@justhangin7186]

Nice👍

[@colinfarrell7924]

Enjoying watching you train. Keeps me smiling. Started paragliding this year, spent a month in France in Annecy going off big stuff. Sky crowd was so fun at the Doussard LZ with all types of flyers! So awesome...Thanks for sharing : )

[@nanoraflyz]

Maybe I’ll try paragliding one day but I’m totally preoccupied by this sport.. it might be awhile😅 Thank you for watching.

[@TheCameronEvans]

YES! that landing at 3:04 was epic haha It sounds like you have a great instructor there too "When in doubt check"

[@nanoraflyz]

Lol right? Gotta do everything in style😝 I haven’t been trained by other instructors but I know in my book Steve is THE best of the best🌟

[@b8496]

Nice job..Always a good take off followed by a safe landing..All you need to be a good pilot. In the air it's your time..make it as long as possible given the conditions. And always check the wing..dont get distracted before you launch.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you☺️ can’t wait to fly taking my time.. gosh that really would be like a dream.

[@b8496]

@@nanoraflyz You are doing great. When I learnt we trained on rogolla, we called "The Brick".. Winch towing was dangerous and no movie cameras..Still the results were the same..gradual progression and fly safe..no wingovers..

[@ducksappliance8036]

As always super great job! Wish I coulda been there flying with you but I cut my stupid hand open!!! Can’t fly for another 10 days😞

[@nanoraflyz]

Lol Don!!! Didn’t know Duck’s Appliance was you😆Steve and I were gossiping about your injury… Steve was like why you gotta send the pic of the cut?!!!😂 hey I hope that heals quick so you can take more classes. Come fly with me🐥

[@guyguthrie3236]

Forward view with cam behind you gives much better perspective.

[@nanoraflyz]

Thank you for this feed back. I put the cam on the cross bar thinking it’d be a better view for checking me transitioning to the prone position. Ideally I need one more camera.

[@HGAviator]

@@nanoraflyz I use 2 cameras. First one on the keel, the second one on the diwntube, near the base tube or on my sprog. (I fly a U2-160.

[@nanoraflyz]

@@HGAviator I’ve been thinking about getting second cam. I’d probably put one on the keel and the other on the cross bar. Don’t want camera facing me🫣
