Whats your all up weight on the Zeno? I fly the Z2 small and AUW is 86/88kg and im not convinced on the small, maybe MS would have been better

I also fly a Z2 now. The small. Love the glider. AUW 83-85kg. My sink rate is as good as anything out there. ;)

Wait. You can do thermaling with the moustache ?

Wait, what..!? Didnt you know that if you have a Moustache you can do what ever the hell you want! ;)

@@wild2flyparagliding160 it’s just that everything I’ve seen so far was soaring and furious speed flying down the mountains from moustache pilots. Goes to show I was wrong. Mind asking what is your weight ? Great video.

Hey Johan. Ive just bought the plot next to where you have just landed. Thats gonna be my new home in a couple of months.

@simhathecat 3 ай бұрын

Looks like it's not about Moustache having any advantage: you just fell away from the core in this uncertain thermal. Happens all the time. But I may be wrong...

@wild2flyparagliding160 3 ай бұрын

Probably you are right. ;) But the theory is that Armin thinks he can do quicker corrections in the turbulent cores - get his speed up faster and therefore adjust more efficiently and do better in the climb. Who knows for sure - in turbulent cores its often just a lucky turn that makes the difference. ;)

Could you explain me what makes the moustache better in rough and broken thermals? I dont quite understand the logic there.

@wild2flyparagliding160 3 ай бұрын

There is no logic here. I think it is probably just the pilot. ;)

Beautiful video and soaring equipment. I want to try parasoaring some time. Be careful turning a circle inside each other. Its only a matter of time before one or the other misjudges height. Make sure your circle isntt crossing against others.

Can I fly a 26 moustache with 80KG flying weight only? I want one for thermaling. So far, I do it with my 18. Works like a charm, but breakpressure is quite heavy over time, so I wonder how it is with a 26.

@wild2flyparagliding160 6 ай бұрын

I dont have much experience on the 26 but it is way different to the 18 (I owned an 18). The 26 does thermal better than the 18 with less break pressure (though the intent is not necessarily for thermaling even if it does it very well.). 😉

@P4n0r4mA 6 ай бұрын

@@wild2flyparagliding160 Thanks ;) As it is the most collapse resistant wing ever, I think it's very much for thermaling, but that's just my personal opinion and it might considerably differ from mainstream ;P

@@5ty717You can't tailslide a moustache. It will never fly backwards, ever. And from all the Mo's out there, not a single frontal collapse has been reported. Not from those soaring in 60km/h winds, nor those who dare to thermal. None.

@norfolkflyingboyz2404 4 ай бұрын

The moustache 26 is new or relatively. The original advice was thermal air and moustaches did not go together but that was prior to the 26 coming out. Your video was very impressive and have wanted to add to my 18 which I fly at the coast. This video has made up my mind I will definitely be getting a 26. Flair moustache have revolutionised paragliding with a unique riser system. This has already been copied many like little cloud and mullet.

@f4ucorsair153 9 ай бұрын

Amazing moments indeed! Unfortunately, its almost impossible to find one nowadays, let alone in Europe. Do you know of other aerodinamically controlled glider designs like Millenium, apart from SWIFT?

What a great HG video :) How does this glider compare to a WW T3 or Sport 3 ? I've only flown a falcon 4 and sport 3. Could this same flight be accomplished with a ww sport 3?

@wild2flyparagliding160 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the compliment on the video. :) I dont think you would have done this on a S3.., maybe a T3 though the Atos is def better performing than a T3 (sink rate and glide) - the T3 on the other hand is much faster. (The Atos VNE is 90kph) this has to do with the rigid nature of wings versus the loadshedding capabilities of flex wings. ;)

Yeah make them PGs jealous!!! Isn't there any launch spot on the mountain range already? And can you fly XC further into the mountain range?

@wild2flyparagliding160 Жыл бұрын

Yes and yes and yes on all three accounts. :) But the mountain launches are difficult to get to so we are all spoilt for the ease of access near the coast not to mention all the great restaurants and coffee shops near by! lol ;) The local distance record was flown on a PG from Serpentine (I pass over that spot around the 40s mark in the video) and is around 100 miles along the mountains to the west. You can do it in a hangie but the many areas with lack of landing spots makes it un attractive option to the hangies but for the PG's its fine. This is a PG flight I did from one of the mountain launches we have here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNx7fdyfks2ZhH0.html :)
