Our friend Joao Pedro invited us to go fly with him in the mountains near us and it was awesome to get back to thermal flying after so long flying at the beach.

I've definitely missed having enough space and height to fly around in every direction, 360, and listening to that beautiful vario go beep beep :)

All in all a great afternoon soaring and thermaling around and Gemma got her first taste of evening mountain flying too :) Awesome

This one was just a lot of fun! It was blown out for flying but Ash and Mark fancied some ground handling so I joined them at a local field.

At the field it was way too windy and in clear air we would have been dragged so we decided to groundhandle in the lee of a row of trees which meant the air was very turbulent and hence a very interesting session ensued.

At the end of 2019, Théo de Blic announced that he would split from his previous partner Gradient. Since then, the paragliding community has been speculating where the three-time Acro Paragliding World Cup Champion (2015 – synchro, 2017 & 2019) and three-time Acro Game Champion would move. Now, he has let the cat out of the bag - from now on Théo de Blic will team up with NOVA.
Watch him fly his new acro proto!

Read a long interview with lots of background information here (How it happened? What his duties are? WIll NOVA build acro-wings?): www.nova.eu/theodeblic


Ende 2019 kündigte Théo de Blic an, dass er sich von seinem bisherigen Partner Gradient trennen wird. Seitdem spekuliert die Gleitschirmszene, wohin der dreimalige Akro-Gleitschirm-Weltmeister (2015 Synchro, 2017, 2019) und der dreimalige Acro-Game-Champion wechseln wird. Jetzt lässt er die Katze aus dem Sack: Théo de Blic arbeitet ab sofort mit NOVA zusammen.
In diesem Video siehst Du Theo mit seinem neuen Akro-Proto.

Since the founding of the NOVA Pilots Team sub-team in July 2020, three female and seven male pilots have been climbing and flying the highest and most beautiful mountains in the Alps under the name NOVA Climb & Fly Team (CFT). The focus is on the passion for para-mountaineering, i.e. the combination of paragliding with climbing and alpine touring.
NOVA staff members Luis Depping (R&D harnesses) and Paul Nagl (Service, Quality Assurance) are passionate mountaineers. When NOVA expanded its product range with two lightweight mountain gliders (the DOUBLESKIN https://www.nova.eu/en/gliders/doubleskin/ and the BANTAM https://www.nova.eu/en/gliders/bantam/), and motivated mountaineers actively approached NOVA, the idea of the Climb and Fly Team was born. That is now more than a year ago.
This video shows the weekend when the CFT members got to know each other a year ago at the Schüsselkarhütte (Leutasch, Austria).
The members are: Simon Heinrich, Manuel Ploner, Fabio Keck, Alexandra Lamprecht, Jessica Kratz, Carla Vivó Soler, Christof Happ, Luis Depping and Paul Nagl.
In this article the alpinists describe some of their favorite tours of 2020: https://www.nova.eu/en/news-st....ories/article/news/n

NOVA CLIMB AND FLY TEAM FEIERT EINJÄHRIGES JUBILÄUM
Seit der Gründung des Sub-Teams vom NOVA Pilots Team im Juli 2020 besteigen und befliegen drei Pilotinnen und sieben Piloten unter dem Namen NOVA Climb & Fly Team (CFT) die höchsten und schönsten Berge der Alpen. Im Vordergrund steht die Leidenschaft zum Para-Alpinismus, also die Verbindung von Paragleiten mit Klettern und Hochtouren.
NOVA Mitarbeiter Luis Depping (R&D Gurtzeuge) und Paul Nagl (Service, Quality Assurance) sind selbst leidenschaftlich gerne in den Bergen unterwegs. Als NOVA seine Produktpalette um die zwei leichten Bergschirme DOUBLESKIN (https://www.nova.eu/de/gleitschirme/doubleskin/) und BANTAM (https://www.nova.eu/de/gleitschirme/bantam/) erweiterte und motivierte Alpinisten aktiv auf NOVA zugingen, entstand die Idee zur Gründung des Climb and Fly Teams. Dies ist mittlerweile schon über ein Jahr her.
Dieses Video zeigt das Wochenende, an dem sich die CFT-Mitglieder vor einem Jahr auf der Schüsselkarhütte (Leutasch, Österreich) kennengelernt haben.
Die Mitglieder sind: Simon Heinrich, Manuel Ploner, Fabio Keck, Alexandra Lamprecht, Jessica Kratz, Carla Vivó Soler, Christof Happ, Luis Depping und Paul Nagl.
In diesem Artikel beschreiben die Alpinisten einige ihrer Lieblingstouren des Jahres 2020: https://www.nova.eu/de/news-st....ories/artikel/news/n

As my first attempt at designing a wing in 3D to then cut the 2D panels for it I'm using the Single Skin software.

It's a free software used to design single skin paragliders and kites, where wings can be designed in a mix between parametric and graphical interface.

I had my first go at it going through the different settings and seeing the result and on the next video I'll see if I can put it together.

The forecast was strong wind so we headed out to our favourite beach to get some groundhandling in. Turned out with the sun high there was a thermal bubble on the beach and the meteo wind was just blowing above it.

That meant the windspeed was low and there was quite a bit of turbulence, making it an ideally tricky day to try more advanced groundhandling and it requires fast and decisive control.

Great fun and as the sun eased off managed to fly the wall and the meteo wind aloft was actually quite strong. Glad the speedbar was connected.

The TWISTED JOKER is another one of Pal Takats’ inventions. The Joker is a Tumbling rotation performed only once and stopped during the Shoot (called Booster), which you then connect into a Helicopter. For a long time, the Joker was the trick to do in competition. Here it is performed twisted, which means twisted during the tumbling and untwisted when starting the Helico rotation.

The TWISTED JOKER REVERSE is the same process like the Joker with a Booster entry, but then the connected Helico is turning to the opposite direction and therefore it's a reverse trick. Here it is performed twisted, which means twisted during the tumbling and untwisted when starting the Helico rotation.

„Theos Trick der Woche“ #4: TWISTED JOKER und TWISTED JOKER REVERSE

Der TWISTED JOKER ist eine weitere Erfindung von Pal Takats. Der Joker besteht aus einem Tumbling, das aber nur einmal ausgeführt und während des Vorschießens gestoppt wird („BOOSTER“ genannt), welches du dann in einen HELI überleitest. Lange Zeit war der Joker der Trick, den man im Wettbewerb zeigen musste. Hier wird er ge-twisted ausgeführt, d.h. twisted beim Tumbling und und untwisted, wenn die Heli-Rotation beginnt.

Der TWISTED JOKER REVERSE beginnt gleich wie der Twisted Joker mit einem Booster-Einstieg, aber dann dreht sich der angeschlossene Heli in die entgegengesetzte Richtung. Es gehört daher zu den Twisted Tricks. Hier wird er verdreht (getwisted) ausgeführt, d.h. twisted beim Tumbling und untwisted, wenn die Heli-Rotation beginnt.

A MISTY FLIP is a 360-degree spin followed by a shoot. The higher the spin is, the better the Misty is. Misty Flip is one of the coolest tricks and also one of the first one you learn on your acro journey. It's not particularly difficult and it can be connected into many other tricks.

The TWISTY TWIST is one of the most technical twisted tricks. Basically, it's a Misty Flip that you start twisted, while the glider is rotating it untwists and twists you to the other side. So, you have to pull twisted and control the shoot twisted. It's a technical trick worth quite its share of points in competition. It's a trick I use a lot in my comp runs to switch directions.

Theo's Trick der Woche #2: MISTY FLIP und TWISTY TWIST

Ein MISTY FLIP ist ein 360-Grad-Spin gefolgt von einem Vorschießen. Je höher der Spin ist, desto besser ist der Misty. Der Misty Flip ist einer der coolsten Tricks und wohl auch einer der ersten, die du auf deiner Acro-Reise lernst. Er ist nicht besonders schwierig und kann mit vielen anderen Manövern verbunden werden.

Der TWISTY TWIST ist einer der technisch anspruchsvollsten Twisted Tricks. Im Grunde ist es ein Misty Flip, bei dem du ge-twisted startest. Während sich der Schirm dreht, dreht er sich der Twist auf und zur anderen Seite gleich wieder ein. Du musst ihn also ge-twisted negativ abreißen und das Vorschießen ebenfalls wieder ge-twisted kontrollieren. Es ist ein technischer, anspruchsvoller Trick, für den es bei den Wettbewerben viele Punkte gibt. Ich verwende den Twisty Twist oft bei meinen Runs im Wettkampf, um die Richtung zu wechseln.
