How to connect to your paraglider while looking at it for reverse launch

[BrunoModigliani]

Wonderful video!

I've just started taking ground controlling lessons. This video givis a nice idea and refresh the beginner mind about what was practiced during classes.

Very good idea and great way to expose the material!

I hope you keep editing other videos about learning paragliding techniques.

Thanks a lot!

Tja..als Starkwindflieger gehts gar nicht anders....aber den gesteuerten Start mittel D-Leinen habe ich jetzt nicht gesehen ;-( , denn der gehört automatisch mit dazu....

trotzdem cool, dafür extra nen Filmchen zu machen...wäre mir zu stressig :-)...

Die guten Sachen bringt man sich eben immer selber bei ....Gruss Udo

@4scope Jepp hast recht der is auch nicht drauf. Soll eher ne Anleitung sein wie man sich richtig einhängt ,ohne dass nach dem Ausdrehen großes Unglück entsteht. Hatte da am Anfang extreme Probleme und bin fast verzweifelt. Zum Thema Rückwärtsstrat bei Starkwind gibt es bei youtube ja genug Beispiele wie man die D bzw. sogar die C Ebene einsetzten kann. Wenn ich Zeit und Lust hab mach ich da viell auch mal nen Film !

Hauptsächlich giengs mir darum dass die Leute beim Start weniger Stress haben.

Thanks for the Video! Nice job on the editing and contents. I have somewhat different system (usting the D-lines as you mentioned) but I still like the way you sort out the gripping of the A-lines and brakes!

Thanks!

Nice idea, and good video work inc. the editing (I also like the pause to give time to read)..

That said about 95% of the safety checks I would advise are missing, perhaps the most serious is when it comes to busy flying sites is the lack of 'Airspace' checks before moving the wing off the ground.

NB I've seen a LOT of accidents at launch with pilots taught those 'holding' methods, esp. when flying with a decent wind

@murrayhay Thanx

Of course this video can`t show the whole real launching process. Of course you have to do your 5 step preflight check, but i can`t show everything in the video. It`s just a help to learn a new method of connecting nothing else.

Hi Parabolous Yep, I've been teaching how to clip in while facing the wing to basic students EMPATHISING that this is a more advanced method, IDEAL for clipping in in STRONG (15-20kt) conditions, since the late 90's.

I like your mention of the 'left over' OR 'right over' (depending on the pilot) options, which I also teach, i.e. I teach a LEFT handed pilot as if I was a LEFT handed Instructor (I'm naturally right handed)

BTY We use a climbing carb to 'keep' risers when not in use :-)
