Dave May touches the water on landing

[MrAndrew1101]

fantastic footage - looked like a lot of vg for a landing, especially on a sleddie day!!

I did learn a lot about how to turn a hang glider, or how can i better say, i understood better my teacher when i saw this video.

Total harmony pilot and glider. I believe that's the way to do it :)

Thanks for this video. Keep them coming.

Holy crap! I just saw this. Balls of granite. I would have set up for landing about half way through that clip...mind you, in my rig, it would have been a necessity. Very awesome vid.

What is the wire on your left hand for?

thanks

@ZippoZappata

Again, it's not me on the video (it was just my camera), and I'm not sure which wire do you mean. If that's the white wire (or handle) on the left hand side of the harness, then it's probably some drogue chute stuff.

@NewMikha

Maybe he means the rope in his right hand. That is the VG. To put it very simply. It is your accelerator. By pulling it in, you tension the wing - thus the name Variable Geometry - changing the shape of the wing slightly you can say) The wing can fly faster (more efficient) but will turn a little harder. Does this make sense?

[NewMikha]

@jacoherbst Yes, might be ZippoZappata meant that. The only thing is it's not on the left hand :) But it could be just a type, dunno.

[NewMikha]

@stpython Есть такое, особенно когда он на заходе над деревьями этак ныряет :)

Надо бы уже в жж выложить этот ролик, кстати, спасибо что напомнил :)
