Geez TH-cam is creepy. I just sat down to look up "concertina packing" on here to get my wing shipped/inspected, and this was already at the top of my homepage. Welp I'll be done in like 30mins 😅
Depends... If you are carefully packing it to store for a long time: Yes... But if, like in video/h&f competition, you pack the wing just to carry it a few hours, I doubt there are many wings delicate enough for it to be a problem... And certainly even less wings designed especially for hike and fly, if any....
Have you heard about the "Nickel titanium, also known as nitinol" they started using for about a decade now? Or do you think gliders are made or steel and they will break when folded? Also these gliders dont have thick rods running throughout the chord.
@@alejoal07 they literally don't bend unless you pinch them hard. Also this is perfectly fine for short term packing, it's just storage that should be done more loosely.
Già, bravo, ma la differenza è che lui non paga le vele, anzi, è pagato per usarle, noi dobbiamo spendere invece migliaia di euros, e ci deve durare...
Nitinol rods spring back perfectly as long as the bending radius stays above 1cm. Which is pretty much always the case, even when you pack them a bit messy. So it's more a matter of lower packing volume and having your wing lay down a bit neater when preparing for takeoff (due to more evenly distributed folds in the fabric)
No stress, no fuzz, practice makes perfect.
1m55s? Me taking off my helmet ;].
Maurer is not a human he is cyborg
😲😲 increíble que una aeronave ultra liviana de alto rendimiento, quepa en una mochila tan pequeña 💪💪
Now I need a vid of him unpacking
That was masterful the way he leaf'ed the wing with the lines, or is it a special fast-pack wing? haha.
Perfectly done…. and no big deal in no wind condition in combination with ultra thin material… #StaySafe Chrigel!!!
Impresionante... Y rápido
😯 Wow!!
Wahnsinnig schnell 😊
1:09 Hölle Hölle Hölle Hölle! =D =D
one could probably use this technique, but take a moment to ensure the rods are lined up and flat, and be done in, say, 3 mins. still pretty sharp.
Now that’s quick!

Excellent
Next level!
what is the music at 1:11?

Es bueno hasta recogiendo el parapente!!!!
Ist der von der Marke Stewischirm 😂😂
1:08 Hölle, Hölle, Hölle!
Молодец!
🤯
I'd probably bend all the rods of my crappy mojo if i did that....
Ну ты крутой.
This only works with a wing that does not have rods that must be carefully aligned. But still amazing!

So like every modern wing which is not a CCC glider?
Yeah, f..k the rods! LOL

Nitinol rods can still get bent, only reason they fold like that is because they get new gliders quite often, they don't need to care for them as much

Sarà solo questa la differenza? :)
Looks soo easy….but its not
I use my glider for over 5y, so I can't treat like this.😐
echt chrass
Il fait rien de spécial….
He doesn't give a fuck about the nitinol rods!!!😂😂😂 Only those guys can do that! They receive a new wings every 3 months...
Not true... Anybody can do that... Their resilience is literally the main point of nitinol rods...

How often did you already observed broken rods at all?
Nitinol rods are literally used in gliders now so that they can bend quite severely without any issue...
