We have a Dragonfly based at a small ex sailplane airfield in

We are looking for a paragliding or hang gliding instructor (or
better yet- biwingual) who wants to run a business and school at our local

been taken care of by mother nature, site owners, and previous pilots.... mehr

Pilot's report.I fly away from the slope and initiate a sequence of two loopings. At the end of
the first loop, properly done, I check my speed and see 80 km/h, which is not
enough for the second one. Therefore, I increase my speed without finding out
that I’m overshooting the VNE (130 km/h) because the speed indicator display is... mehr

In looping, the frames needed for fuselage to travel its length is seven to six frames. Seven frames going up and down, and six frames before next pull up, so the speed varies between 88-103 km/h (55-64 mph).
Obviously the speed was pretty high and with Clmax (1.6) in mind, at full pull up the... mehr

An update: I got a Remora, and I'm thrilled with it. It is so much
stronger and more stable than my old Glider Rider, and the suction cups hold so
tightly that I can rock the whole vehicle around by pushing/pulling on the base
of the rack. The gliders do not bounce, rock, or sway on rough roads... mehr

These are two of the fastest maneuvering birds in the world.
Rarely do we get to see them in action, at least to this extent. But, some have

magnificent creatures. And what was captured on camera for the first time ever,
was proof once again, that nature... mehr
