Big thanks to everyone at SkySchool for teaching us how to fly Paramotors
https://www.skyschooluk.com/

Taking off and Landing are the two most crucial phases of aviation, and although we can do a lot of practice in pretend takeoffs, there is no practical way to train landings without flying.

So an intermediate step is to go up towed by a rope so that ppg students can practice what it feels like coming in for a landing as well as the timing and inputs of the landing flare.

Sometimes the right day just comes along :)
It was a bit too weak at first but then the wind picked up just enough to make lauching and staying up easy.

Gemma launched, I launched too and took the osmo with me. These buttery smooth shots to me really convey what flying feels like for me.
It was a great half an hour of smooth sailing together and just soaking it all in. Perfect.

Ever since I got into flying paragliders the one thing that always amazes me, puts a smile on my face and still to this day I can't get over is how we can be here one second, the next be flying in the air, and then just as easily land anywhere.

It's mind-boggling! It's like what little birds do, hoping and flying from here to there. It's what Iron-man does, it's what flying is like in my dreams since I was a kid. Just amazing.

The wind was light so and we just got some FastPack Bags from Cross Country Magazine so we thought it would be nice to do some top to bottoms to test them. Luckily though the wind picked up just enough for me to stay aloft afterwards too.

A bit thanks to the whole XCmag team, those guys are great! Check out the FastPacks here, highly recommended.

This time we went to the south side of Foz do Arelho to practise some dune hopping.
It's a super fun and safe place to do it and we love it.

Gemma found that there's a big difference between groundhandling on the flat or on a hill. Some of the wind and physics are a bit different but also for sure some of it is a change in mindset.

All in all a good session but as always, more practice needed.

When I came up with the Groundhandling challenge the original idea was always to make it a challenge as a whole rather than just a collection of disjointed exercises.
https://www.groundhandlingchallenge.com/

So in this video I've taken the challenge myself to complete all the A level exercises in one go. It was very windy and super turbulent. Luckily I used the 14m2 BGD Seed otherwise there was no chance of doing this.
http://www.flybgd.com/en/parag....liders/paraglider-se

In the end it was a full on workout and really challenging, which is interesting given that the exercises themselves are very very simple. I completed all 4 in around 27minutes and 30 seconds. I'm sure I can do better next time.

On this third installment I go through the different electronic parts and their jobs on my system to be able to read and log the tension on my first prototype.

I'm using an arduino because they are cheap and the easiest way to learn how to program a micro controller.

I'm also using an ADC, an SD card module and a RTC to be able to read, save and time-stamp my measurements.

Getting the system working reliably took quite a while but I've learnt many things that will help me in future projects.

Next up is some field testing and then redesigning the load cells.

SIV courses in paragliding and designed for pilots to learn how to control a paraglider in flight and avoid dangerous situations configurations.

I've been wanting to do one for a while and when a group opening became available through my local club I snatched it up!

It is quite a long video but I tried my best to share the experience and what I've learnt from it. All in all I can't wait to go back :)

Big thanks to Malin and Flyeo, it's been awesome.

Florida doesn't have many hills, so if you want to fly a paraglider a motor comes in very handy!

We visited on the of the best schools in the country to see first hand what PPG is all about and we were amazed.

The people at Aviator PPG are amazing and it rubs off on their students and everyone that interacts with them.

For some reason Gemma's been fascinated with trying to fly a paraglider backwards (or upside down?) so in between storms we managed to give it a go!

As expected it's really hard and takes a long time to learn, not something anyone masters in one training session but she had a lot of progress and even passed a really difficult challenge by the end! Awesome day out!

David from BGD had a demo Lynx (High EN-C Paraglider) that I could borrow and test fly and since he lives in a beautiful part of the country we decided to do a little day trip to get to know more about it.

We got a lot more that what we bargained for as the scenery was breathtaking and the mountain air intoxicating.

Both me and Gemma decided not to fly based on info from the local pilots on the site and conditions but it was a great experience none the less.

Big thanks to Pedro, Graça and Fernando for showing us their backyard and for the beers! We need to go back soon! :)

I've attended Thermik 2018, a paragliding and outdoors fair in Stuttgart Germany. I had the privilege of interviewing Bruce Goldsmith on his decades of experience in designing paragliders and running a successful manufacturing company.

We talk about everything from the basics to more advanced concepts and even some new products that might be coming new in 2018.

It was raining so we thought we'd walk through some things to have in consideration when or before groundhandling.

Might be a bit boring but just a few tips from us that might help you if you're just started paragliding.

As Gemma and I were debating when groundhandling becomes flight we came up with a test.
If you can't stay up, you're below the flight line, if you can, you are above it.

We did a series of hops, off a little hill, higher and higher each time and tried my best to stay up at all costs. It's a super fun exercise, helps you feel lift better and how different parts of the terrain shape the air.

This imaginary line varies with a few factors, like pilot experience, wing, terrain, and wind conditions.

Not a lot of lift around but Gemma and I still managed to get up and to fly together and with the chasecam :D
Makes you wonder what is going on in the mind of a pilot as he's flying around...

The plan was to do some top to bottoms as the wing was quite light but by using my wing Gemma was able to stay up and even do her first top landing at Gralha :)

Since I've knitted a hat by hand I've been fascinated with the hand crank knitting machines (Addi style) that you find on youtube tutorials.

So as a bit of fun I decided to try to design my own. This quickly turned into a full blown R&D project and consumed a lot of time and resources.

It was really fun to figure it all out even though in the end it didn't quite fully work.

I'll revisit it in the future when I have some more time as I have a couple of ideas on how to not only make it work but maybe improve the current state-of-the art :)
