Well done! The amount of work is proportional to the amount of ribs to sew (not much to the size of the project), and 19 cells is almost miniwing territory. You've even spliced the lines, you're a patient man! Did that exercise raise enough confidence to sew yourself a paraglider? :D
Let me know if you decide to build another wing someday. I think I could probably cut the panels for you with my laser cutter. You might have your own machine by now though. Incredible work here and on your other projects. Very inspirational.
Thanks man. I'm not sure, maybe 50hours or so? Had quite a bit of help from Gemma. I don't think there was one part that was particularly time consuming but I'd like to build a laser cutting machine not just for speed but accuracy
@@AndreBandarra1 ahh cool. I think you’d get a ton of use out of laser cutter for your type of projects. We had a few at Disney and they were super useful for all sorts of things.
OMG I have been doing way too much nylon sewing! As soon as I saw that thread on fire I waited then blew at the screen! It went out, so the next one I did too. How bizarre! I always wanted to see something being made from single skin, thanks you guys! You got skillz Andre with the fid, were you a sailor before?
Ahah, I'm just a hobbyist. Because it's single skin all the seams are exposed and not hard to sew. "Normal" double skin paragliders you have that last cell problem. It will be something to tackle in the future :)
@@AndreBandarra1 I was surprised to discover you could do that. I tried to convert a dual line parafoil kite into a quad line kite just to get some idea of what it feels like to hold it steady in wind and rotor. I never finished the conversion because I lack kite building skills and confidence.
This put a grin from ear to ear on my face. What a lovely little glider! Are you gonna make it radio controlled and let it soar? That would be fun, I guess.
Thanks! More of this we want to see. More construction, design, assembly, sewing knowledge, splicing. Is there any good free program to develop a good single skin kite? What type of printer is needed?
Could you tell me the name of the fabric you used to make the SpaceX paraglider, in quotes please, to understand it better, I still want to make a mini paraglider
Have you thought of making a real (life size) paraglider before? it would show people a lot about the function, aerodynamics, and work that goes into a paraglider.
First! Lol. Loved the video! Your curiosity and attention to detail are amazing. I’m curious how many hours you invested in the project? PS. the scissors ✂️ need to go. The patrons need to pony up a laser cutter for you 😉
ahah thanks Jim, way too many hours! Funny that you mention that because as soon as I finished this project I had the idea of making my own cnc laser cutter or hot knife cutter :)
Hi Andre, I’m part of a University rocketry team who competes at Spaceport America Cup in the United States. As the recovery lead, I’m trying to develop a gps guided parachute system from scratch. One component of that is manufacturing our own paraglider. Do you have any resources for the parachute, including anything from sewing, the materials, or the different gores.
Great video, but there has to be a follow up: Make this radio controlled. You two clearly invested a lot of time into this project, but the demonstration at the end felt a little bit short. I left the video longing for more, and I think making an rc version would be a great addition.
Nice video!! Fun to watch!! One question - and I know it's a model and not so important - but I was wondering about how you're attaching and linking the lines and cascades with a lark's foot where only one of the loops is passed through the other instead of both through each other. I ask because this is something which was called out in the accident report/analysis by Ozone for Kiwi's incident and I wonder if it's good to be consistent even in models. Anyway, awesome video!! And making/splicing lines is somehow so much fun!!
Will there be more videos from @Andre Bandarra? Elon might offer him a job... I bet if you increase the weight and drop it from a bridge, it will fly like a dream!
@@handriegoetze590 I am think more in the line of a fun RC paramotor, those are super simply to build. A small electric motor and an old S148 servo. Make a flying doghouse with Snoopy as the pilot.
Cool! I'm currently building up a LuteFisk RC paramotor. This is the original design used for the Hobby King RC model featured in one of Andre's earlier videos. The HK wing has fairly inconsistent line lengths making it difficult to launch and prone to collapsing in anything higher than a slight breeze. It does behave better if flown heavier, and single skin designs benefit from a bit more brake to keep the leading edge inflated. The single skin wing designer is available. ICAREX PC31 for fabric, and Dyneema Spyderwire for lines. Neither are optimal, and an updated design for the LuteFisk is using a slightly softer material. Andre, I like the line you're using. Can you share what is?
@@AndreBandarra1 maybe, but could be a good contender in the ground handling only category like the seed, but a first in the "single skin" ground handling only category.
So freakin' cool! I wonder how it would fly as a four line kite. Do you know roughly how long it took to build? I may have to dig out the sewing machine!
Wow! At this rate, might as well just build your own paraglider :D What and why are you applying here 7:43 and here 7:49? 8:20 Incorrect tab-line attachment? :p
epic. I wanted to see what it would take to make my own glider. now I know. f that. :p I can work harder. make more money and buy a new one that is tested and safe. amazing amount of dedication. love watching your videos. we need more shots of you flying this little guy! like from the top of a bigger hill. do a distance test :)
@8:20... how NOT to attach a line, to a paraglider attachment tab. "Lines should not be attached with a lark’s foot as this significantly reduces their strength."
Great work and inspiration for future inventors and curious pilots. Your channel is full of good and valuable information, I really appreciate your videos, your work and the way you share it. I am paragliding since 21 years ago. Just one important small detail about the way it looks like you attach the line loops to the attachment points to the wing on minute 8:20: that is not the way to do it. It can cause the lines to brake and it was the mistake that cause that pilot named Kiwi to have a massive failure cascade on his wing, and Ozone making a report after investigation. I am just pointing out in case someone is thinking on changing his line set and thinking that this video is showing the way to do so. Here the full report: xcmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Accident-Investigation-Nevada-2020-2.pdf The rest of your video is just GREAT. My deepest respect Andre!!
so, what are the secrets? just regular single skin manufacturing techniques, actually pretty amateurish... my eyes just drop when I saw you marking with a permanent marker ... that is a sin (Pilot color eno for instance ...). Otherwise, it seems to work, good job, but no information. I suggest adding two lines and giving it a try as a stunt kite (although bridle might not work for that you can always give it a try! ;O)
Well done! The amount of work is proportional to the amount of ribs to sew (not much to the size of the project), and 19 cells is almost miniwing territory. You've even spliced the lines, you're a patient man! Did that exercise raise enough confidence to sew yourself a paraglider? :D
Impressive work Andre, now we can all appreciate the skills that all our paragliding firms need from their excellent staff!
Absolutely, that was definitely what came out of it for me. In the grand scheme of things, our wings are very affordable! :)
That's an insane amount of work! Great job!
Thanks man :)
respect Andre! dedication and craftsmanship, epic!!
Someone was stuck inside alot during COVID, jeez man, that must have been a few hundred hours of work. So fun to watch, hope it came out great.
Wow -That's a lot of work! Awesome!
holy smokes the amount of work! fascinating

Thank you Brother Genius for your educational report. Glad to know how to work a sewing machine. I am one level below you. Very inspiring.
Your sewing is meticulous
Amazing wee wing. Well done
You are a genius...well done
Excelent vídeo, strong like !
Bet he can fold a damn fitted sheet by himself too. Good, no, GREAT video Anthony.
Pretty cool!
very cool and very nice work
love it! always been interested in SpaceX's parafoil
hello, nice project, what kind of strings are used in the rc paraglider friend?
I loved the build and would like to sew one for myself (Rc Project). Is there any way i could get the plans?
It looks great! And works! How long did this take to build? Was one part more time consuming than the rest?
Thanks man. I'm not sure, maybe 50hours or so? Had quite a bit of help from Gemma. I don't think there was one part that was particularly time consuming but I'd like to build a laser cutting machine not just for speed but accuracy

Sows you right, great job !
Great video. Would be interesting to try RC setup and try test soaring along beach shore ridge.
So much fun!
Wow that was very informative!
Awesome. Would be a dream to accomplish my own build wing but probably never get to it because to much work with what I am doing now. But awesome.
this was amazing! damn you've got some patience Lol
Awesome job. I’m 135 lbs. I think I could fly it. Top notch kiting skills btw.👍🏻

Great project!
How about radio controlled pilot for this wing? She could even have a name 😀
Tendrás los planos para construir uno
Would it have worked if you used a cnc lazer to cut it or would the effect the integrity of the cloth
No that’s good, that’s how the real ones get made
Impressive! I have to say, you have too much free time :-D

What's the spray?
Cool, but how about an update on your uncollapsible paraglider wing project?
good things come to those who wait :) or maybe not.
Great Work! Where did you source the materials from?
Most of them from Ozone paragliders but also the odd stuff from "home depot" xD
Looks great! Good project to try, what did you use for bridle line?
just 10mm webbing I think
I bet in the next video, he will have trained a chipmunk to fly that damn thing, dude, your crazy smart.

allez maintenant tu dois faire une 16m2 🤣.bravo André
Merci Thierry! Un jour je le ferai!
wow 😮
thats the cutest wing ever
Wow cracy project. Great work. May I ask how many hours went into this?
Make a full sized glider!!! Maybe a mini wing. You could dune goon it
Really like the video, cool project. But please note never do the line connection this way on a real paraglider.
How long it took for experienced tech for this?
You should make and sell these as novelty toys for kids learning how to ground handle!!!
Ah, I thought about that! But they would probably be too expensive.
@@AndreBandarra1 maybe, but could be a good contender in the ground handling only category like the seed, but a first in the "single skin" ground handling only category.

Hmm., hard to tell cos a fair amount of the time was research and design not just build, but I'm going to guess 50-100 hours? really not sure
A lot of work for a toy wing!
what app is this friend?
Single skin
