We took advantage of the stronger conditions to to play around with controlled drag, but Gemma has never tried doing it from standing before!
This was our first time out in the new year, and the first time we've been out practising our groundhandling in FAR too long!

Andre is super pleased with his new EN-B glider - the Ozone Swift 5 - but Gemma has had a harder time getting comfortable with it. On this day at Gralha Beach, she explores the wing more to decide if and when it is a good idea to move up to a higher performance paraglider...

Come groundhandling with us!
https://www.andrebandarra.com/retreats

It was quite a windy day so I took the opportunity to try Gemma's new Geo6 as it's a bit small for me. This made me think about weight ranges and what are the consequences and considerations when we fly our wing outside of the weight range.

In short, flying heavy can give us access to stronger flying conditions but it comes with some caveats, including:
- with higher wind come more turbulence
- more stress on the lines and cloth
- more dynamic glider behavior
- collapses will be more violent and demand faster reactions

Explore safely and progressively.

I found my friend Lawrie out on the hill and he was reviewing the new Ozone Roadster 3 for Cross Country magazine so I took the opportunity to ask him about Paramotor wings :)

Seemed to be pretty floaty and thermal just as well as all the other wings! Wish we had had the time for me to fly it too but maybe next time!

Check Lawrie's channel on youtube too!

There are as many ways to pack a wing as there are pilots but the concertina method is very popular with modern wings because, among other things, protects the plastic rods from being damaged and bent too hard.

In this video we show you two ways to concertina pack your paraglider wing with and without a special bag for it!

If you fly a paraglider have you wondered how to find the center of a thermal? Or how counter intuitive it is that if you have a strong headwind and you're sinking out you should stamp on the speed bar!?

Well since a few years ago I always wanted to make a quick little simulation that would allow me to test these things. I didn't get very far in the project but my friend Ricardo, a game developer stepped up to the challenge!

In this video I go through the logic algorithm of how to find the center of a thermal when all you have is your variometer (thermals are invisible most of the time).

This technique allows you to progressively get closer and closer to the center of a thermal allowing you to not fall out of it and climb in the best lift available.

My friend Ricardo did a quick game prototype where we can test this method and it worked surprisingly well.

Now the question is what should we do with it?
Mobile game? Pc game?
2D or 3D?
Educational tool?
Multiplayer online game? RACING! :D
Let us know in the comments!

A couple of weeks ago (before Europe went into lock down) we went out to fly and Gemma got to practice her new favourite manoeuvre: Top Landing!

So, in this video, Gemma talks us through the process of learning with a few top tips from her perspective. And. of course, some playfulness by Andre.

In this week's Groundhandling Class we thought we'd make some experiments on unevenness as suggested by Brent and Phill on Patreon.

We tried offset on the A's, on twist on the hips, not being perpendicular to the wind and even sticking some brake permanently on.

The results were a bit surprising by being a bit inconsistent but I thin that was mostly my fault as I kept compensating by mistake as I'm so used to bringing the wing up straight.

In aeronautics polar curves describe the relationship between horizontal speed and vertical speed of an aircraft.

With polar curves you can see your glide angle at various speed and even factor in things like headwind, tail wind, sink and lift or a combination of them.

They are extremely useful to understand how our paragliders work.

Gemma has had trouble before knowing Pitch from Yaw so we did a little recap video that we thought might be useful to other people too.

I also give some insight from my personal experience on the connection between the Yaw axis and the Roll axis and how they might be connected in a paraglider.

Rule #1 - Brake the dive!

Jocky Sanderson, often known as the SIV Guru, has been teaching paragliding for over 2 decades and in this video he talks about Security in Flight.

What to do, what not to do with plenty of examples and an animated pace from someone that clearly loves what he does.

Jocky has a wealth of knowledge and much can be gained from paying close attention.

Ridge lift is probably the easiest and most accessible type of lift to fly in for paragliders.

In this short video I share my views on how it works and how I make sense of the thing. Hope it helps.

Ian Currer has been flying for several decades. He is the Technical officer for the British Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association and also the author of Touching Cloudbase.

In this talk he explains his findings in what keeps some people in the sport and why others drop out.

It's all a head game and setting the right goals to keep you in the arousal zone might be the key.

Aspect ratio in aircraft define a lot of their performance and maneuverability. In paragliders the same happens but perhaps to an even bigger extent as the very structure behaves very differently from low to high aspect ratio wings.

We had just finished filming from the day and the wind was picking up, but in the corner of my eye I caught this wall that seemed to be well aligned into the wind.

When we got closer we realised it was quite off to the wind actually but still decided to give it a go. After a few tried I actually managed to slowly make my way up and go from the beach all the way up to the top of the ridge about 70 meters up!

It was quite a strong wind day at Gralha for full sized wings but we still managed to fly a fair bit and do bottom to tops.
Groundhandling at the beach and then slowly climbing the hill and taking off as soon as the wind is strong enough to support out weight.
Then from there you can scratch all the way to the top and beyond! Pretty cool stuff!

To finish off the 3rd week we thought we'd put Gemma to the test and boy did she deliver!
She started on A01 from https://www.groundhandlingchallenge.com and only stopped at the Es! That's amazing from a groundhandling "noob" and all in a day's work! :D
