@ohhwotehh You sound it like a car spin with all this brakes and all that brakes.
get a hang glider. its way stable
-
@miraclepieco Why would you say it's 'unairworthy' because it lacks an 'airframe'? What do you mean by 'airframe'? Would you say the same of any ram air wing?
-
yes, PG is dangerous. Still, the mistake he made is obvious. Its the matter of how much risk can you take. It's just like riding a bike
-
@K9Productzions Yeah...he's ok. He eats steak dinners through a straw...but he's ok.

I agree miraclepieco, dón´t let the wing surge in front of you and without pressure on the brakes untill you have enough altitude. It´s always the same error. It wouldn´t happen to me too.
-
@miraclepieco I'll go ahead and say it then - in those conditions, that wouldn't happen to me because I wouldn't sit back and let the wing surge in front of me like that. Active flying, flying a wing and conditions suitable to your skill will prevent this happening.

Man iv just passed my EP, think ill be using a DHV-1 wing for a while o_O

@K9Productzions who care's :)

is the guy ok?
@schl0tte : Apply brakes to dampen the glider surge. No surge, no brakes. Mild surge, mild brakes. Surges on the left, apply left brake. massive surge on the right, immediately bury the right brake and then ease up.
the true short story is "fly a wing within your skill level."

The reserve chute should be thrown BEFORE takeoff. That way the bastard killing machine stays on the ground where it belongs, and the pilot can live long enough to buy a hang glider.
