    Hi Kyle. In Ireland we always use A and C control. As the wind is often very strong with bushes to snag. Even in the strongest of winds you can use the C or D lines to kill the glider if you are not happy with it. If you only have a few seconds and it goes wrong you can get dragged over the back. Love the videos. Frank

    Kyle looks well rested after vaca, I'm sure well needed! I kept anticipating you having to run up the hill in that strong wind, which I didn't see. No thermal so you can fly all day? grt lil video wit a lot of info for the right guys here, so thank you again Sir! respectfully, esp the camera man! stay cool y'all. two speeds in that heat, slow & stop!

    I only fly free flight for now, just started flying a phi maestro 2 light (it’s an amazing High-B glider) but eventually I’d like to get a motor, when I do I’d probably just start out flying my free flight A wing (UP Dena) until I decide what PPG wing i would want.

      he kyle, fastest abort on very high winds: grab B and yank the heck out of it? i feel when my wing is kiting above me and winds picking up that thing stays up whatever i try to pull.

    Looking to get into a paramotor and proper training. Some have said to pickup a used kiting wing to practice ground work. Do you think this a good move? If so what wing would you suggest? And do you have any for sale?

    • @kyleoglee
      @kyleoglee  Před 11 měsíci

      If you live in a place with good winds, it's not a terrible idea. But the caviat is how you use it. I've seen some terrible habits develop from self trainers. Take the same money, and buy some instruction is worth ten fold of an old beater wing.

      Xctracer is my favorite. There is no best. Some have options such as displays for airspace and such, but for a really simple vario, xctracer does it for me.
