rolo_ford Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just Thought I would share thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtNg84BNHAk There are never enough hours when you can share your passion for flying with your family. regards Rodger 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Looks like a fun afternoon. I've watched these things (sans moteur) taking off from cliffs etc and the canopy collapsing to one side occasionally. I think being a wimp, I will stick to 3 axis, lacking the skill (bravery) to tackle the task. Thanks for the Vid. Nev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolo_ford Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 The beauty about these is no cliffs or mountains required. regards Rodger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paragliders and Powered Paragliders can stall their wings, collapse then re-inflate (if they have got enough vertical space) otherwise :(. The Aerochute's Manufacturer has installed ring stops on the control lines which limits their travel and you cannot stall the machine. Foot throttle controls climb and decend.

Guest Fred Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ive been flying in some pretty wild turbulence this summer,and I gotta say I am pretty happy with the Aerochutes rectangular:rotary: canopy.Has not collapsed on me once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 No I've only seen it when attempting take off and would put it down to wind directional change. With a bit of height it wouldn't matter as it is pendulous. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
