Stubai Cup 2024: Skywalk Masala 4, Arak 2 and Poison
zhlédnutí 2,9KPřed 3 měsíci
Skywalk launched the Masala 4 (EN A) two days before the Stubai Cup 2024, and it was available to fly during the festival. A “lightweight all-rounder” Skywalk’s Arne Wehrlin said they are “really happy” with the glider. “It’s the perfect beginner’s wing,” Arne said, designed to take pilots all the way through from learning to XC. The Arak 2 (EN B) was also available for demo flights, and is exp...

When the wind kicked in, U-Turn’s new speed wing, the Proxi, made its debut in the ground handling field at this year's Stubai Cup in Austria. Available in five sizes (8-14m) the Proxi is the result of two years of work. Also updated for 2024 is their classic mountaineer’s glider, the Everest. The Everest is a double-skin hike-and-fly wing that weighs 2kg. Updates include using the latest mater...

Not sure what exactly the orange hardware does and if it’s serving a function not possible on the phone. The glasses can connect directly to the phone and the phone can have app to track speed and altitude etc…..
The book has Useful content but I hate the editor for making it too long at the cost of painful repetitions and weird structure, half is as I said before and the rest is we will see that later
Cayenne 6 not good glider 👎
Hey, how much do you weigh on a size 15
👏👏👏
some are coming , some are going..but this guy is constantly outstanding.....congratulations Maxime :-)
convincing performance...congratulations from black forest...roll on Constance :-)
Congratulations Maxime I was able to catch many task online, was great fun to watch in that way!
Cross Country Magazine, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!
What a lovely story 😊 Wish you all the best.

Can i take these bags to Everest
No sound from the 2 commentators !
Done
Please use some wind shelter for the interviews so we can better understand the pilots.
All the best Alex !
Hello , I m intereted to get this wing but until now none nformation relative to max speed (vs PTV etc...), flght comportments and no test review on the web about this wing. So it is not good for my choice. is it plae to have some flight data about this Stellar wing? Thank you
When is coming out the paramotor version?
Thanks for the review, I found it so impressive I just bought one online! 🙂
I have no idea what are you trying to said..🤷🏻♂️
I've been flying Skywalk gliders for over 11 years. In colder season ( central Poland) I fly my old but still robust Chili3 doing ridge soaring, and I use Arak1 for cross country in the summer. I guess there's quite a big number of other pilots who appreciate stronger, a little heavier gliders, and who are disappointed, like myself, with the trend to make the cloth less resistant to tear. Getting the cloth thinner and thinner isn't a good option for ridge soaring where contact with shrubs on high wind take-offs and landing happens from time to time. In such situations Chili3 survives, Arak1 suffers more. Pilots who don't want to replace their gliders every season may turn away from this brand.
Wonderful to see the extra back protection, I feel like too many harnesses only add some dense foam and leave it at that. However, I'm really disappointed to see that only one reserve option is available and it's front mount. Maybe that's why they emphasize the back protection.
That seems a bit complicated
Hat das Delight 3 eine Öffnung für den Urinalschlauch? Grüsse
"it generates lift well and lift-off is immediately" wow, very insightful. For the information given in the video, one could just visit the gin homepage.
I really like it, SeeYou navigator could be improved: add other "indicators" like wind indicator, prevent exiting the application, more customization on the map(like seeing my current reach with my current glide ratio. I also really miss a vertical view of the airspace.
I've recently bought an Omni, so far I really like it! In terms of value for money I think it's the best FLARM device out there at the moment (unless you prefer the XC tracer) I do still like using XCtrack on my phone alongside it, as XCtrack has a lot more customisation. I'm still getting used to SeeYou though
Nice video. Thx!
Glad you liked it!
Can we expect a light Mint ? An Arak 2 Air ??
The marketing positions the arak between tequila and chilli, but the technical differences between arak and tequila appear to be identical apart from the weight. Can the arak really have noticeably better performance than the tequila? (Perhaps due to a different trim?)
I think there's a copy paste issue on the Skywalk website. Arak is 5.4 a/r. I doubt the Arak 2 goes down to 5.22 exactly like the Tequila...
The glider has different materials and different tensioning on the structure and brake. The Tequila is tuned trough the safety, the Arak more in the performance direction resulting in a different glider for the users. The more refined contruction allow better performance even with less AR and cells.
There are 5 years of development know-how between the ARAK2 and the ARAK1. We used this experience and thoroughly optimized the ARAK2 with finely tuned trim, modified brake geometry, new materials and a slightly reduced aspect ratio. As a result of this development, the performance of the glider increased even though we reduced the cells. Reducing the number of cells results in lowered weight of the glider an pack size. In addition, general handling becomes easier and despite an overall increase in performance compared to its predecessor, starting behavior improves. In addition to the developments already mentioned, a performance-oriented trimming has been implemented in the ARAK2. This results in a more dynamic flight behavior, rapid response to control inputs, and increased agility. Therefore, the ARAK2 is designed to be an impressive mid-B wing suitable for ambitious pilots. The TEQUILA6 shares similar technical specifications with the ARAK2, but differs in its flight behavior. The trimming is adjusted in such a way that the TEQUILA6 is a little more subdued and slightly less dynamic. The TEQUILA6 as a LOW-B glider is excellent for pilots transitioning into the B range who want to progress and further develop their skills. Paragliders and their demands on the pilot do not just depend on the number of cells and the aspect ratio. Of course, technical details are important, but that's only a small part of the characteristics that influence flight behavior.
@@skywalkparagliders When will the Arak Air 2 be presented? In my last SIV course I saw how the Arak Air 1 performed. It was impressive how safe this wing reacted in side collapses. I want to buy that wing, but if the Arak Air 2 launches soon, i will wait.
heavier than the rise4!! no way for me...
I'm in the market for a first pod
I have been a owner of a Cayenne6.. I wish you all the best Alex!
Everything is evolving to a shark... Shark nose, shark fin, ... No wonder sharks have survived such a long time 😄
Supersmart harness! I am amazed.
I have the inflatable protection and it only takes 20 sec to inflate. Also it’s located so that you can inflate it while in flight if you forget so I like the inflatable.
Very cool! I'm glad to see that there are more options for a first pod harness available!
Enzo 4?
the stellar is the best en b comparable to modern en c
Germans = the most emotional speakers 😅
Stellar is a test wing for me ✌️
do you mean its not ready for market yet because of danger issues or how can i understand your comment?
@@user-jz8nk7xy1k IT ISe one of the Wings I will Test next weeks
Hi
That guy taking a leak in the background 😂
Yellow Submarine!
Wow, the thermal assistant looks like it's only working in the Syride trailer. Here at 18:40 we can see that the Vario is struggeling to show something useful It's a bit disturbing
The Rise5 Looks great..So sad, my takeoff weight is around 83/84 . I was trying the R4 S and IT was clear after several test flights , I have no punch in ahead wind.
I hope soar works for that weight
@@PhilippeLarcher fly it close to the top, 87-92 ,.best Performance 💯 ✌️💫😉
As he said , in the interview, it will be better in headwinds .. defenetly need to give it a try ... 😉
Do you have any idea when the alpina 5 will be available ?
Really informative!! Looks like a great addition to the sport
Looking forward to this glider!
Great interview! Learned a lot, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I wonder which fin is the more impactful, inner or outer?
A fin closer to the wingtip could reduce drag generated by the tip vortices. A more centered fin will create resistance in the roll behavior of the wing thus helping it to exit spirals and improving stability.
@@MaxMartini22 yeah but which one does more work for exiting a stable spiral? The inner or outer side? What if inner is cravatted? Still good?
