General discussion

Hey guys,

I just wrote an open letter to a lot of people involded in paragliding to draw
our attention to the ecological and social impacts of our beloved sport.

We depend on nature and we are somehow responsible for what happens with our
gliders, harnesses and other equipment.

I think we need to reduce the negative effects of travelling around the world
as well as help to improve the situation of people working in paragliding manufacturing
in the development countries.

Hey!
I need to go training do get ready for the summers competitions.
Was thinking of going to annecy for acro/siv course or lake garda or gerlitzen.
Period I can go is between 20may-5june.

Does anybody know if there are courses or who to contact?

Emailed Flyeo in Annecy, but somehow they dont really answer and also want to look after other possibilties.

Thanks!

can my wing do a sat.? and any other acro?

Hi I will be at Lake Garda from 12th to the 23rd April. I was wondering if any other acro pilots will be around. I have not been before. I am going there with my family and staying in Malcesine but hope to fly every day that is flyable. It would be good to meet some new pilots and get tips and advice about the area, my flying and have a good time. I am currently working on Heli that is my main focus whilst I am there.
Also do I need to bring my own life jacket or is it easy to find one to rent my understanding is you have to fly with one .
Thanks
Sam

Hi Everyone,
Has anyone here had experience D-Bagging from an Excitor trike by Fresh Breeze in particular? The pilot sits in the front so the exit point is tricky between the pilot and the propellor. Looks like it could work as a jump away, but exit is cross wind?

Any help would be awesome!

Does anybody have any experience d-bagging from an ultralight, microlight or trike? I would like to discuss the process and options with someone who has done quite a few jumps.
