What do an X-Alps two-liner, a training glider and an acro glider have in common? What makes them different?

Philipp Medicus, Head of R&D at NOVA, sheds light on the synergies in the development of these different paraglider concepts. He shows surprising parallels that exist despite the obvious contrasts and explains why a training glider benefits from the development of an acro glider or a 2-liner.

1:28:12 Announcement NOVA Insights #4 with Markus Kaup

The NOVA Insights are a series of lectures, discussions, workshops, etc. They take place online and are aimed at ALL paraglider pilots - no matter what brand of wing they fly. The Insights are no marketing yada yada, they are about sharing knowledge and experience, and above all about "making you want to fly". The NOVA Insights last about one hour each. It is explicitly desired that the audience join in and ask questions.

NOVA Insights #3 – Philipp Medicus: XENON, PRION und GLITCH - Synergien und Gegensätze im Gleitschirmbau? (auf ENGLISH)

Was haben ein X-Alps Zweileiner, ein Schulungsschirm und ein Acro-Schirm gemeinsam? Was unterscheidet sie?

Philipp Medicus, Leiter der Entwicklung bei NOVA, beleuchtet die Synergien bei der Entwicklung dieser unterschiedlichen Gleitschirme. Er zeigt überraschende Parallelen, die trotz der vordergründigen Gegensätze bestehen, und erklärt, weshalb ein Schulungs-Schirm von der Entwicklung eines Acro-Schirms oder eines Zweileiners profitiert.

Die NOVA Insights sind eine Serie von Vorträgen, Diskussionen, Workshops usw. Sie finden online statt und richten sich an ALLE Gleitschirmflieger – egal, welche Schirmmarke sie fliegen. Hier geht es nicht um Marketing, sondern um Wissens- und Erfahrungsvermittlung sowie vor allem um das „Lustaufsfliegenmachen“. Die NOVA Insights dauern jeweils ca. eine Stunde. Es ist explizit erwünscht, dass die Zuhörer mitmachen und Fragen stellen.

In our pursuit to find "the flight line" we ended up doing loads more flying passes lower and lower to see if we could scratch our way out of it.

I also share some tips on how to maximize flights, by going to minimum sink position when in light lift, and turning in lift rather than flying past it.

Really good fun and good practice to get the skills for those scratchy days!

What a first day! Strong winds at the take off, low cloudbase and shadings - but still flyable!

The Prologue is an important event for the Red Bull X-Alps athletes which takes place in Wagrain Kleinarl (Salzburg) a few days before the official race start at Salzburg city. The first three to finish win an additional Night Pass which allows them to skip another mandatory night rest. Time penalties will also be distributed. The event is the perfect warm-up for the X-Alps. Moreover, there is definitely no lack of motivation and fun.

Der Prolog ist ein wichtiges Ereignis für die Red Bull X-Alps Athleten, das in Wagrain Kleinarl (Salzburg) ein paar Tage vor dem offiziellen Rennstart in Salzburg stattfindet. Die ersten drei im Ziel gewinnen einen zusätzlichen Night Pass, der es ihnen erlaubt, eine weitere verpflichtende Nachtruhe auszulassen. Es werden auch Zeitstrafen verteilt. Das Event ist das perfekte Warm-Up für die X-Alps. Außerdem fehlt es eindeutig nicht an Motivation und guter Laune.

I used the g4 gimbal from: www.feiyu-tech.com plus an optional cable to charge the camera trough the gimbal via an external 4 A/h 2S Lipo battery pack. With this set up you can fly up to 5 hours with the go pro 4 black (it needs a lot of energy). A remote is being used to start/stop the camera or change settings. You can use the go pro app to have a pre view when flying - that works really well with the latest version of the app! It is important to attach the arrow on two points, as you can see in the footage, otherwise you will have vibrations on the roll axis. It needs to be balenced from the top to the end. The wind sack is needed to keep the distance harmonies - one can evan fly reasonably high wing overs with the right sice. The external battery pack should be mounted on the string that is being attached to the glider close to where the wind sack is attached. This way the wait of the battery is smoothing out the movements being created by the wind sack.
You need to drill two holes into the gimbal in order to get the cables in. Minus pole is at the end. You don´t need to do this, but the time u gonna be able to film is being limited to the battery life of the camera and that is not long at all with the wifi being turned on.

Camera setting: I found the 2.7k 4:3 setting being the most efficient, one can choose the crop in the edit later (move up and down) + keep the go pro battery in the camera when u charge it through the gimbal, otherwise it will be unreliable.
Start: It helps if the person helping you to take off understands the process off taking off, otherwise you will see is crash!!!
Landing: With the right length off the line you should be able to catch the arrow in most cases.
Gimbal setting: There are three speed settings on it, fast creates to much unneeded movements, medium I found to work, the best.

Would be really happy to see footage/improvements from other versions!

Thanks Alois

Chrigel Maurer does it again! He is the first athlete to reach the goal in Zell am See at 6 pm on day 9. Therefore he wins the Red Bull X-Alps for the 7th time.
Of course, Chrigel is not a NOVA pilot. Though we were there to celebrate the winner. Hats off to this great performance!

Chrigel Maurer hat es wieder geschafft! Er ist der erste Athlet, der am 9. Tag um 18 Uhr das Ziel in Zell am See erreicht. Damit gewinnt er zum 7. Mal die Red Bull X-Alps.
Natürlich ist Chrigel kein NOVA-Pilot. Wir waren trotzdem vor Ort um den Sieger zu feiern. Hut ab vor dieser grandiosen Leistung!

The revolution has triumphed! Performance to the people!
Watch the whole story about Our revolution of performance for All!

The Ion 3 is the realisation of our mission: to produce paragliders with excellent performance, that give a lot, but require little. It's handling is precise but at the same time forgiving. The Ion 3 opens the door to a new generation of easy to fly paragliders with incredible performance. This makes the Ion 3 a wing for all occasions: a fun wing which turns like a dream; a cross country machine, tutor and gentle acrobat all in one. You can't get more out of a single paraglider.

The most frequently asked question about my paragliding videos is "How does the footage come out so smooth?"

So I've decided to do a video covering the equipment in depth and also the way I use it and why.

I've also compiled a list of the equipment below with links.
If you decide that you want to try it yourself and you buy from Amazon through these links you'll be helping the channel with a few bucks at no extra cost to you.

Much appreciated :)

Book into the Groundhandling retreat here :)
https://www.groundhandlingchallenge.com/retreat

We've just reached 6000 subs so I thought we'd go somewhere nice (Sao Martinho do Porto, Portugal) and talk about logbooks.

Maybe pilot flight logbooks are not as common with paraglider pilots as they are in general aviation pilots but I put forward the case that they should be the norm.

They help pilots track their currency, set aims and objectives and if nothing else keep a great log of their adventures.

Next time the channel hits a random ammount of subscribers or I'm short on videos I'll tell you another story from my logbook :)

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

The wind was just perfect to launch and land, so Gemma finally worked up the courage to break her flying lull and get in some take off and landing practice.
The takeoff was a bit busy at times but it worked great to get her confidence back and getting to enjoy being up there.
