Chris Santacroce is the BEST in the business!!!

That’s awesome!! I’m self taught and don’t regret it at all. I love being able to fly and can’t wait to go again!

🪂🙌🏻🪂

Chris is always the best. He can cut through the complexities and make it simple, concise, and complete. Always a pleasure to listen to his advice and thoughts.

SuperFly for the win!

Having fun and not being in a hurry to move up is a good thing! I’ve been flying 4 years and I fly a En-B glider. It’s my second glider and it’s a “high B” but it’s still a B, I’m in no hurry to jump on a C 2-liner, and when I do it’ll probably still be too early, but I’ll have over 100 hours on my glider before that happens.

Fantastic Video from a Fantastick Lady. Sarah, you are amazing, and I thank you for posting this. Superfly is such a great team of professionals for sure! Blue Skies Sarah : )

bravoo🎉

I roll up in my glider like a burrito and waddle to the car.

Good smooth and well produced video Chris. Glad to see you doing these. Looking good.

Altitude challenged! Lol ISN'T that called ROSETTE the wing

I can see the future of our hobby/sport be slowly regulated more and more as sites disappear. Locally I can just look at Gaggle and see half a dozen pilots buzzing around the local private airport, sometimes for hours on end. I've even had a relative reach out that lives nearby and ask if I knew who was flying right above the tree tops. Won't be long with that type of flying until any ultralight is told they aren't welcome to fly there anymore. I see people trespassing private property or not asking permission to fly places. Even with permission I felt like I was encroaching so I bought my own property that I can fly from.

You must treat it like a lady not a beast (bear)

Excellent! Thanks Chris!

Your reviews are performed in very pragmatic and thorough ways - well done.

Bring Chris back!

No apologies for the rant, Chris. This is excellent and essential information for the novice, and good review for the experienced pilot. Thank you for your care!

where r u flying here?😊

Stoke!!😊👍

I'm struggling to find one in the 280 weight range, but there's one that's 240 for a really good deal. If I just want to fly straight and level as a newbie, would that work?

the magic.

hi i recently brought a brand new dudek hadron 3 wing 22m I've been flying for over 12 years. the new wing is a nightmare to launch forward. trim setting at 3 . can you help. please super fly.

Andy, where are you, dude?

Looks like a great place! Curious what type of harness/ size you are using?

How come Nirvana is not mentioned? along the Scoutt is one of the finest machines out there...

Holly cow. I needed to hear this. Had a spooky experience learning stalls on first SIV. Hearing this perspective helps me process it.

The level to which you dumb down aerodynamics in this explanation is not only wrong but also dangerous. You can totally stall a wing with minimal break input. You are also getting the nomenclature wrong, (as explained in the comment by @MitchG) which creates more questions for pilots down the line rather than (what you claim to be doing) keeping people from having questions. Accident analysis in the past years has shown that different types of stall are the most common cause of accident, whether during take-off, flight, or landing. It might be true that in turbulence, one can prevent collapse of the wing by adding break in certain situations. But really what you are doing when adding breaks is increasing the angle of attack (AoA), when oncoming turbulence is reducing the AoA, and therefore one might be preventing a collapse. Teaching new pilots & students to pump the breaks during landing as a way to mitigate the effects of turbulence most probably does more harm than good. People who have not experienced a controlled stall themselves and have not mastered the skill of stalling a paraglider should not live under the impression that "pumping" the breaks, or applying breaks in general, would keep them safe. Stalling a wing is not a direct effect of break input, but rather of glider speed. A glider that is already slow requires barely any break input to stall and a glider that is shooting in front of you with lots of energy and speed is very hard to stall in the very moment it is in front of you and traveling fast, even with lots of break input (to catch the surge for example).

Great idea. I've personally witnessed two different take offs where the passenger or pilot was only half clipped in.

Thanks for this cool presentation. I think about buying this glider. It is a helpful video. Could you tell me where is this spot located. It looks like beautiful weather and perfect souring conditions. Best wishes Jens from Germany

Au lieu d'inventer des trucs inutiles pour des incidents facilement évitables il suffit de voler avec du matériel en bon état.

Do you get this setup with an electric too? Now this I'll be something...

Where is the fuel tank!?

Pretty exciting things for sure!

Thanks for the gear, Turtle! 🪂

Thanks for the review. Quick question. Would you prefer the Epsilon Dls or the Ion 7 for xc flights in the alps?

Excellent! Thanks for posting

This says nothing about you wind lines

Another nice review........... Chris

Good to see some videos! Always appreciate your experience and advice on equipment!

🪂🤘🥷🦅🤘🪂

Looks like a fun wing, nice demo Chris.

How does the ION7 compare to the Advance Epsilon DLS?

the lux

Love these reviews…and that crispy new wing sound. Thanks!🪂

That’s a CS certified glider test.

Good stuff Chris! I can see you had an awesome time on it. Best, Rob ^^

Chris, that was a great video and you've solidified a lot of my feelings about the Epsilon DLS, but I'm very curious about your helmet. I've been having difficulty finding "the right" helmet and that looks just about perfect. Good size and shape for the chin bar, visor for when it's wanted, but I can't make out any identifying marks. Can you tell me which it is? Thanks!
