my weight is about 75 kilos but i wear 4kg of gear. I have found that i fly nano faster when i use smooth minimal inputs to keep speed more constant and by favouring harness turns over toggle turns or combining the two.
@mrkarlhey of cause thhat makes it faster because controling is done by creating drag on oneside or the other which makes it turn so shifting weight is much better and efficent
most of the inflight footage, with the exception of the long and mountain swoop part at the begining of the video, is by me flying my Nano 13 . And the bit following a carving decent that too is me shot from outside camera. On all these flights on the 13 the trim was set in neutral.
Not tried changing the trim yet but i have heard it makes it alot faster. Looking forward to trying it one day. This is still fast enough for me at the moment.
The point is to have fun flying down the side of mountains, hills & off cliffs, & if you want, flying close to the ground. Paragliders create lift,have large wings, they can fly for hours,covering many miles & are hard to keep close to the ground. Speedfly wings & parchutes like in this video are made for speed, are always losing height, especially when turning, & so only fly for a minute or so, a fast minute of flying as close to the ground as you want which leaves you smiling for ages after.
nice film, good tunes too!

In this video, the guys who fly with the nano 13 have set the trim riser for more speed or no?

looks fun :) But tell me - what's the point of ground launching and why not to use para glider then?
