@@sandrainthesky1011 the year before the fails where a bit more intense, but i think its a good sign that they got more harmless over time. And yes, of course i have a beamer as my reserve.

@@samu.fliagn ja wenns geht lande ich immernoch lieber mit dem Hauptschirm😅. Aber dieses Jahr bin ich absichtlich zwei mal den Rogallo geflogen um die Routine nicht ganz zu verlieren😜

Thx, yes the infinit twisted stall-exit got me a lot of recovery experience in a short time period :) There is only one pilot to be seen btw.

@anieltoengi wow! That's cool! Nice work!

Thx❤, still a few things to improve tho😅

Thx❤

I put a led strip in it that has a usb connector, together with a powerbank and some tape

@@samu.fliagn ich habe mich im Vorfeld mit Fachleuten unterhalten, sie sagten, das es gut sein kann das sich der Beinsack oder das Fussbrett verabschiedet. Es hat aber in meinem fall alles gehalten👌

@@mmcowan thx, but I don't think i can get 40kg of ballast into my harness😅

Sure, a doing a PLF is never wrong. For me the descent rate is very manageable on a beamer flown at 70% of its max take off weight.

You can literally flare the beamer and the sink rate is lower than a normal reserve to begin with.

I have seen this method used in a real situation once, it seemed to work ok. My only concern would be how well you can steer to the unattached side. Do you have any experience with that? I have quick outs at home, but I just like the ease of beeing able to clip in a different wing within seconds.

Yes exactly, this is how to test fly your beamer as safe as possible. I have my fair share of "real" rescues and of course every situation will be different. In an ideal scenario with lots of height and away from terrain i would absolutely pull in the main wing. If you have a low fuck up, just stall the wing and hold it with one hand. With a different brand of rogallo i was only able to steer towards the side i held the paraglider, its like a airbrake on that side. In some real scenarios you won't be able to steer at all and are just glad that you don't hit the ground at terminal velocity :)

This was part of my excercise, i wanted to test my packjob and having to fold it again, gave even me more practice. If you don't trust yourself to do it, any paragliding school or shop will do it for you. I hope you repack it every year anyway.

@ Where did you get the repack instructions? The manual is impossible to follow and there are no decent how to videos online. I just bought mine a couple months ago, so I have some time to find good instructions. I don’t let anyone do my re packs, I always do them myself. Maybe you can do a decent re pack video please? Jajaj

​@@hanumandorje584i used the official packing video from high adventure: th-cam.com/video/NCQOCN4_N5s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VhyjpkSgQDOZNp8T I know the first two "cells" can be a bit confusing, the rest i find quite straight forward. And it really helps if you can do it the first time with someone who already knows. If we have a long bad weather period this winter maybe I can try to make a packing video that is easy to understand. But i can't promise it, sorry.

It's just a standard computer voice from my editing programm. I think with AI it would sound more natural but I don't have any experience in this field. I just didn't want to do a voiceover with my swiss german accent😅. This is actually the birthplace of the Beamer, with 3 big fields and only two fences, a tree and a house on them it is the safest spot in the valley.

@@anieltoengi Fair enough. I was asking because I was not quite sure about the voice, and it seemed to work ok, even if it made you sound like someone in his sixties. I have the same conflict of narrating videos with my Danish accent vs trying out some Ai. Have been going with music thus far. Must say that when I look at your landing field, there seems to be a lot of obstacles, if you were coming down in a regular "go where the wind blows" rescue ;-) Thanks for the info.

​@@thecrazybirdyes a normal rescue would be stupid to test there, especially from this height. If you watch my fail video, the first rescue i had to throw was a companion sqr which is not steerable but has a little forward speed to be more stable. I crossed the valley with this rescue and landed in the river. I was super lucky that the rescue came down on a big bush, if it also would have landed in the water, i would be dead😬

@@anieltoengi The separation between "that didn't go according to plan, and was no fun" and "that is how he died" is too damn close at times. :-/

@@anieltoengi A Swiss German accent is the best and most credible accent possible for paragliding advice! 🙂

The Beamer definetly has some forward speed but you can't compare it to a paraglider. It is not built for xc flying :) Next time I will take my vario with me for some accurate data👍

@@anieltoengi I would guess an aerodynamic efficiency of 1/3 ? May be 1/2 ?

Thank you very much❤

Hallo Julian, mit dem Alpha hast du auf jeden fall längere bremswege als mit dem 16m2 acro schirm in diesem beispiel. Stallen sollte aber kein problem sein, wenn du am notschirm hängst, kannst du auch nachgreifen. Die bremsdrücke sind viel geringer. Alternativ kannst du auch die hinteren Tragegurten nehmen, die brauchen viel weniger weg. Das schirm einholen könnte vielleicht ein wenig mühsamer sein, weil du wahrscheinlich einen grösseren schirm fliegst und mehr material zum verstauen hast.

Yes, 16m2 90kg tow

@@christophwaller9016 Yes, soon 8🎂 but was basically unused when i bought this bargain
