Experienced Kitesurfer here. I see great potential in adding this to my reportoire. Do you think a basic Paragliding course is sufficient, if I continue to learn during those moustache travels of one of your partners? I see myself spending most time at the ocean and not sure if I ever wanna get into all the thermal flying.
We recommend a paragliding course on top. You will learn the airspace restrictions, way of right in the air, how to avoid collision, hot to make a proper landing approach, ... With kitesurfing background you will pick up the flying itself a lot faster
Hi Armin, danke fürs Video. Ist das ein Update des Breeze, das du da am Strand beim Groundhandling hast. Wäre toll, wenn das wie beim aktuellen Range X-Alps mit anderem Ventil rauskäme. Und etwas stärker gepolsterte/längere leg pads. 🤷🏼♂️ Cheers
Great tips! Have you encountered any close calls when flying nearby others on the ground? I find that lines on tip can go too close of comfort darn easily. Especially when turning, so increased margin is recommended compared to normal paragliders.
I'm currently studying the epsilon 9 paraglider the biggest one they got because I'm so fat I have to have the heaviest fattest weight limit I'm just barely low enough that my insurance is good. I'm trying to learn as much as I can buy watching videos before I go back for more ground handling this summer. This is very interesting how it flies so well but this heavy weights on small amounts of square yards lead to something that likes to do a spiral dive. This thing will always be beyond my skills I'll never be a pilot good enough to fly that. I just want to go around like an old Cadillac big old lowrider epsilon 9. I heard pilot error is the worst problem it looks to me like I'd have a bad pilot error problem if I ever tried to fly that wing
Groundhandling is the best to learn how to handle any wing. If you see a Moustach, as to groundhandle it. 26 would be the best size with your weight. You can fly it slowly or fast. That is up to you
@@ArminHarich the fates have decided. I have an epsilon 9 and I'm flying heavy on it. I went to the school and I did some ground handling it didn't go well at all and I hit the ground or and then the wind wasn't with me and I didn't get to go back very soon. I got another Wing at a garage sale but I have an unpacked it was 100 bucks and I have a little tiny speed harness that came with it. I'm going to go out and try to fly it but I'm not going to strap it on and get plucked buy something.
very informative, thanks for sharing your experience!
It is a pleasure
Great information, especially the part about mixed pilots on a hillside flying together.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
A pleasure
Nice one mate!
This video is awesome. Thank you for all the information.
Fly safe!
You too.
Very useful - thank you Armin!
Thank you
Thoughts on a 22 or 26 used for XC flying/thermals. Collapse recovery etc... thanks for the very informative video!
If you are >=75kg the 26 is usually the way to go.
Great video............luv my Moustache!

thank you soooo much for this video. As a mustache pilot I apreciate it.

Da wird dran gearbeitet :-)
Schön zu sehen, wo ich im Januar Urlaub gemacht habe 😀
Bis denn!

Yes. Keep distance is important and I also ignore it too much sometimes

Hallo, ist das bei 5:20 min Boltenhagen? Beste Grüße
Ja
Sehr informativ
Danke
interesting wing..any one using them for xc and how do they go?
We recommend soaring for the beginning to dial into the system.
First let go the pod harness 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why. Podharness gives with fast wings better glide
Wusstest du dass schon Gleitschirmflieger mit/an dem Helm gestorben sind? :(
Das ist nix für mich... Zu schnell, zu dynamisch, zu gefährlich.
Das kann ich gut verstehen. Wir bringen noch einen 26er. Der ist entspannt aber man hat die Kontrolle.
