simple tips, but we need to hear this tips again and again (because forward launch is so rare these days). And cut of the video is very nice and professional. Looking forward for you next 5 tips :-)

Thank you! Yes I kept them super simple as they are for the begginers. You're right, the forward launch is so infrequently used now, but something we all need in our locker!

Nice and clear instructions. One point I'd like to suggest - there's reference to "holding" the A risers but I've found it best to "push" them. If you hold them there's the potential to pull them down collapsing the leading edge, but if you keep your palms open and push this can't happen. A hard habit to shake but pays dividends.

Nice, well-structured and methodical approach Jack, very easy to follow and very useful tips. Re tip 1: maybe 'crescent' or 'croissant' is a more accurate description of the glider shape? 'Horseshoe' suggests the tips closer together than the bulk of the wing?

Some good stuff here. However I would be interested in your comments on the following after releasing the risers: 1. You say acceleration is key - I agree. But why the 'arms back' position restricting the ability to achieve maximum acceleration, since some brake is applied? 2. An article by Bruce Goldsmith in Cross Country magazine some time ago advised that modern gliders are more pitch stable with no brake applied. The procedure you demonstrate seems to me to restrict acceleration and result in possibly a take-off on a less pitch-stable wing. These problems would appear to be avoided by a 'hands up' stance with elbows pointed forward; leaning hard into the harness, with hands up near the pulleys to allow for any steering and/or overshoot correction and resulting in full acceleration on a pitch-stable wing.

One thing I noticed in beginners behaviour is holding onto the risers as they move forward pulling the wing down. When they release them the forward edge has no tension and it folds in. Might I suggest that you advise pushing with an open palm as the wing comes up in order to avoid this. When the pressure on the palms is nearly zero, then is the time to look up and check the wing.

I didn't see you do a line check when the wing came up or did I miss it?

I typically look at each wing tip as I launch having done a thorough line check. For this video I was in the field for 5 hours, so i knew it was good.

@idanghelber8282
@idanghelber8282 3 жыл бұрын
Nice tutorial. Also worth noting I think why to hold your arms up closer to your shoulders instead of to the side. I see a lot of people trying to do forwards having their arms more to the side, which will work ok especially on lower aspect ratio wings. However, you want to promote inflation of the center first so that the wing doesn't horse shoe, which is why it helps to have your arms like you do in this video, closer to a W shape.

Absolutely! Thanks for sharing this, great to add the reasoning behind it.
@bobflyman
@bobflyman 3 жыл бұрын
You maybe could have mentioned that with gliders with split A's just use centre A's to get a clean inflation. My glider is rubbish using all A's! And personally I don't like the Spitfire arms back run either, but good video mate.
@JackPimblett
@JackPimblett 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah fair enough, I can agree with you on that. It varies from wing to wing but most do prefer the centre A inflation.

@simonwinkler5874 3 жыл бұрын
Sure there are a lot of styles and techniques in launching/flying/ and so on. What @Paul Skywalker means, and I agree with that, is that if you put your arms backwards like shown your shouldermovement is locked (so called policelockposition) if you need to put the brakes higher (in strong wind takeoffs and flat takeoffsites) you have to bend you upper body more forward which leads to more pressure on the chestbelt. This leads to a movement of your center of gravity of the body behind the mainraisers of the harness. (Your ass gets more into your harness) if the glider creates lift then there is a turningmomentum which pulls your feet up and pushes the whole body into a seated position. The bad thing on that is that you get shortly a bigger amount of unintended brakeamount. Which is, quite bad for strong wind and flat takeoffs.. It makes it as well a bit harder to accelerate if you have a bit more belly 😁 so in some cases a armposition during acceleration with pointing finger and thumb pointing upwards and close to the maillions is better. ✌️
@JackPimblett
@JackPimblett 3 жыл бұрын
Interesting technique! As you say, there are different techniques with pros and cons to each. I fear that having your arms in the upright position forces you to run more upright too, providing less acceleration and loading through the glider. The technique shown in this video is pretty normal for the UK I believe but can always differ from school to school / country to country. Here I was just offering a tip that may or may not help you. Certainly not a form of instruction. Thanks!
