Paraglider test pilot working - DANGEROUS

Mario is working for a paraglider company and testing a new prototype. He does what most don't do: front stalls from max speed and this time he almost catches the glider twice...

That pilot is either awesome or lucky as hell :)

@Paintballer2200 he's a pro - Mario Eder was working for Nova and is one of the best test pilots.

Weak　wing？

I will never use this wing

[Claudioeh]

Well, you will never be able to try - it does not exist any longer :-)

[bingo1980]

it looks like the shockwave!

[Claudioeh]

This was about 3 years before the shockwave was worked on. This wing had a bigger surface, too.

Nice try but your lackluster credentials are unimpressive. Moreover your nannying insipd comment "safety must come first" after your idiotic input tells me all I need to know. OOhhh you were a chaplain in the territorials! You're qualified!? You daft wanker. It takes a special kind of crazy to think that's a qualification for anything. You're an academic who thinks a brain fart is an idea, and who's never heard of valved airfoil cells but still insists in smearing your feces on the topic.

THAT'S what you call big nuts. Not fer me.

Would love to buy these guys 'n' gals a beer for making my kite as safe as it is.

He has earned EVERY cent they pay him

[vellotrol]

YEAH! Mario works for a paraglider company and he has HUGE COJONES too!! LOL!!

[Claudioeh]

As far as I can judge, their wings have always been performing very well while offering the highest safety possible. To achieve that Mario does those stunts - and you can be sure to get a safe glider.

Nova was always aggressive/twichy wings.I hope now they do better stable wings, and not to push the limits on L/D. :)
