SIV - Advance OMEGA ULS - Annecy 2024 #omegauls #advanceparagliders
Instructor: Alex Ciuhandu
Pilot: Andrei Buldus
This is the first SIV I ever participated in, and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor than Alex Ciuhandu. When you hear him talking, and the trust he has in his voice in critical situations, makes you belive that you can do anything.
I had 3 very difficult days, as I had to practically do two SIV stages in one, one with my Triple Seven Rook3 (EN-B), on the first day to get used to basic manouvers, and doing day 2 and 3 with the wing I love the most, the: #omegaULS from #advanceparagliders (EN-D).
I already loved this wing before the SIV, but to be honest, after coming back from this experience, I think I will never want to fly another wing in my life :))))) It's just perfect!
A few of the manouvers that were performed include, but are not limited to:
- Asymmetric tucks
- Frontal colapse
- Deep spiral with quick exit
- Spins
- Stalls
- Backflight
- Big ears
and more....
Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoy the Omega as much as I do :D

Wow I misread and thought you were on a Theta ULS. But Omega - it seems so well behaved. Except maybe for several cravats. Probably unavoidable with the aspect ratio. I don’t have more than 130 flights and 30 hours. My weight is right between sizes on the Epsilon DLS but I’m perfect - just in the upper half on the Theta ULS. But Advance says it’s only for pilots with a few years of experience…. But after seeing how gentle the Omega is, I wonder if a low time guy could be safe on the Theta hmm 🤔 BTW I’ll do my first SIV with Marlin Lobb in Annecy in October. I booked three courses back to back. Hope to get comfortable but maybe I’ll be exhausted instead haha.
@@larssorenson9916 three courses are going to feel like a lot 😅 The omega is pretty well behaved to be honest. Cravates as you stated, tend to happen because of the aspect ratio, and can be quite big, but nothing scary. 30 hours seems a bit low, but if you can get that to around 100, and a couple of siv's you should be more than fine :) I saw Advance just came out with the Sigma DLS, maybe give that wing a go as well, I am curious myself :) Annecy is a faboulous place, I wish you good times, and great fun 🤗 Personaly, I love my Omega, wouldn't fly anything else now 😅
@@larssorenson9916 also keep in mind it's still a D wing, even if a well behaved one. It will still try to rodeo with you in full stalls and big colapses on full-bar 😅
Very nice reflexes!
To be honest, at first, it was not reflexes, but great calls from Alex the instructor. Reflexes started to kick in on the second to third day. Before that it was just trusting the process :D
You definitely figured out where to stop the wing and that was super cool. I like stopping mine out front also instead of over my head. We call it checking the back of the surge. A fun thing that I like to do is, when I catch the wing like that, immediately take that right back into a spiral with a ton of weight shift and I release the pressure on the outside hand and lock in the inside one simultaneously. Do another 360, and get in a rhythm with the fast exits. (Until I get queasy!😮)😂
@@TheChrisBreyShow that is exactly what Alex sugested on one of the spirals, but I was too shy on the weight shift and break, and it just spat me out of the turn 😅 great feedback and advice, thanks a lot 🤗
@@AndreiPGPilot there are three places you can start the turn from after you catch it… immediately, at the bottom or on the way back up. Each one is going to give you a slightly different experience. Let me know how you like it! So much fun
@@TheChrisBreyShow sure will :) thanks for the heads up! 🤙
Foarte fain, mersi de video!
@@MasMariusb mersi si eu de aprecieri :)
Good job!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video :)
Thanks for this! What size ULS is it? What is your all up weight? Many thanks!❤
@@XOLBANK Hey. It's the ULS 23, and I was flying it at 92kg (88-95 ideal interval as stated by Advance) 😁 Hope I helped :)
Thanks. Comfortable uncomplicated presentation.
I did a SIV w/ Alex a couple weeks ago. He's freaking amazing and Benoit helping take offs we great also Monica did great on the videos. All around super class.
To be honest Benoit is my spirit animal 😅 I absolutelly loved having him on take-off. His relaxed way of beeing is contagious :D Mona is a wizard with that camera to be honest. I can't imagine having myself tracking us bafoons in the air 😂
Awesome class, I agree :)
Alex is the best! Loved his SIV
Just perfect! The way he adapts to every single pilot is mind-blowing. And the calm in his voice makes you belive you can achieve anything :)
So inform me. On the 4:30 mark after the dive what was the correct way to handle that to not have a frontal? I thought you have to stab the brakes and catch the dive? I see your hands go down to do so. So what went wrong or what could be done different? Thanks!
The way I handled the dive was almost perfect, except for the fact that my hands only went down as low as my main carabiners. I should have punched the brakes straight down, giving me much more brake travel and thus more power to stop the wing :) My hands didn't go low enough, the wing just kept going beyond it's critical angle, and bam! :D
@@AndreiPGPilot Hi, I would add that you released the brake too soon as well. Maybe, the input was enough, but the release was too soon, the pendulum movement was still on the wing side, you have to wait for your weight to be charging the wing again to release the brake input. Regards, An other guy doing SIV with Alex ;-)
Alex is the best. Nice video, man!
Probably THE BEST! :D Thanks a lot for the kind words :)
Good progress. After the stall I also had always the problems that the ears were hanging in the lines. For clearing the cravate is maybe the stall spin on one side better - my opionion.
Yeah seemed so. We went from pumping the cravates out, to spin stalling to the cravate side, which worked much better :)
Great video! I definitely need to do this as well!
@@CristiUrsu I can't recommend it enough :) It was tons of fun as well 😅
@AndreiPGPilot maybe you've seen the video of what happened to me last week... if it were for an SIV before, I wouldn't have had to throw the rescue
@@CristiUrsu I actually saw it and talked about it with my friends :( the corect reaction would have been the one seen in the first few exercises :( It really helps you as a pilot 100%!
Nice! Looked like a lot of fun. On the rapid exit with the frontal on the Rook, you didn't run out of brake travel. Have a look again what happens - there are 2 other reasons it frontals.
@@7up-weee well, let's see: I didn't pull enough break for one... my hands were above the main carabiners and the second one must be the fact that I didn't keep contact with the brakes and let them go to fast mayve? 😅 thanks for the heads up and for the time you took to leave a comment 🤗 Much apreciated :)
@@7up-weee it was tons of fun :) can't wait for next year's full stalls and wingovers :)
@@AndreiPGPilot Yeah - you can't access the full brake range if your hands are in front of the Carabiners. If they are in a line with the risers and the carabiners you can put your hands down below your bum and you get a lot more travel - at least 30 or 40 centimetres extra. The second one is your hands go up before the wing has stopped moving forward. If you keep your hands down until the moment the wing stops, it won't frontal. The instant it stops, put your hands up.
@@7up-weee Thanks a lot for spending the time to share your insight <3 I am glad I was able to pick up my mistakes even if it took me a couple of tries :) thank you for you feedback once again, much apreciated <3 Blue skies to you!
@@7up-weee glad I got it down by the time I took the Omega out for a spin :D
Salutare Andrei, as vrea si eu sa ma apuc de zburat cu parapanta, ai putea sa imi oferi niste informatii suplimentare te rog ? Sunt foarte curios sa aflu mai multe.
Ti-am raspuns in privat
Salutare! Felicitari pentru obtinerea licentei de zbor! Vroiam sa te intreb cum a fost examenul teoretic? Au fost grele intrebarile si in ce constau?
Salutari si multumesc in primul rand :) La partea teoretica sunt 8 materii, 10 intrebari din fiecare materie. A creeat un prieten bun un site nou pentru pregatirea teoretica daca doresti iti poti simula examenele acolo :) parapantest.vercel.app/
Fain triunghi!
Multumesc. Invatam cu fiecare zbor 😁
@@AndreiPGPilot si video editing skills sunt bune, felicitari. Vazut tot cap-coada.
I made a few spelling mistakes but hopefully everyone can look past that :)
Am fost cu tabara miercuri acolo o fost fantastic
...superba zona de zbor...faine si montajele...
Fain
Mă anunți te rog și pe mine când mai mergeți cu parapanta?
Ati invatat undeva? Foarte fine 👍👍👍
Salutari :) desigur. Am facut scoala la clubul SkyFly in Cluj-Napoca si la terminarea cursurilor se sustine acest examen :) balansurile alea accentuate nu fac parte din proba :)
Buna !asta este in Judetul Suceava?
Este in Judetul Cluj din stiu eu :)
Super tareeee !
Multumesc frumos :)
Salut!💪
Salutari 🤗
Super!
Păstrați-mi si mie un loc la Rimetea că încă n-am ajuns să zbor si-acolo...🥰
Cu drag :) Este loc pentru toata lumea :)
Those were awesome days in Clopotiva, on the same 6th I did my personal best for distance there :) czcams.com/video/_vV55vj0xJQ/video.html
Hehei, bravo! Felicitari! Creste familia... 👍
Hehe, multumesc multumesc :)
My best climb: from 1.600m up to 4.600 m. Sometimes lifting up 10m per second. Was very cold!
now that's a huge climb :)
Nice video, fly safe! :)
Thanks man, I hope the same for every pilot out there 🤗 Keep the blue side up :)
What cam is this?
It's a GoPro hero 10, attached to a SkyBean ChaseXC :D
Yeah ✌️
🪂✌️
urmeaza si HD? arata absolut minunat
4k already :D
superb ! Bravo :)
MULTU MULTU <3
Bravoo! Super
Multu multu 🤗
Foarte tare . Bravo !!! Sn4ps 👍👍 " hater "
cat de tare e cu follow-cam <3 <3 trebuie doar calitatea putin mai buna, dar zborul arata minunat
Multumesc frumos :) Daca te uiti la primul zbor din aceeasi zi calitatea e mult mai buna, doar ca la al doilea zbor era deja semi-inturneric si GoPro-ul nu se descurca grozav fara lumina, si a trebuit sa ii dau un pic de exposure :) Incearca primul filmulet de ieri ;) czcams.com/video/KfqS9mUz3DY/video.html Ar trebui sa fie in 4k pana deseara, inca se proceseaza :)
Îi chiar stas 👌
