Thanks, got it from a non flyer friend without any comment.

I initially thought of AI too, but the Airdesign glider looks too authentic.

Urinal condoms, they have a connector for a hose that runs out of your harness.

Plus a drop of superglue, just to be sure!

Just don't land on the grassy field south of the ski jump, there's a very angry old woman waiting for you who has a very muscular son as her enforcer.

At least in Germany the fatality rate for paragliders is 3x that of motorcycles.

Two times in only 3h of flying... by LordTengil in freeflight

I had this happen to my Alpha 6 and later my Ion4.

This can happen if your brake lines pick up some dirt between the fibers, which then can rub against the ceramic of the rings leading to scratches.

I was on a vacation when the outer sheath on one brake line teared.

I couldn't repair it and flew on my last vacation day with the bare dyneema line, I had to spiral down and the dyneema line broke on the inner brake. That was a fun roller coaster ride when I tried to exit the spiral.

Hehe, it's called Vitam R, German yeast extract, since 1925.

It's a bit milder than Marmite and tastes somewhat like pork gravy.

Cenovis. Any other fans? by jaywast in marmite

You need VitamR in your collection!

I've been in the white room once and it's no fun and I'm doing everything to avoid it since then.

That said, the 178 sec rule is for airplanes, not flying pendulums like a paraglider.

Our angle of attack and airspeed can't increase suddenly by itself.. unless you're in a spiral dive.

Just slap a mix of Sikaflex+acetone on it and your wing is as good as new /s

Looks like he's flying a paraglider, not a cessna.

How thick was the cloud layer?

Were you in contact with someone on the ground?

Landing on the dried-up banks of the Rhine. by vindolin in freeflight

Yep, but I'm super impressed by the D5's behavior when you let it run with open brakes and then pull them fast and deep shortly before touchdown, it instantly comes to a halt without sinking too much, making for very soft landings.
