My name is Max. I live in New England. My passion is free-flight, and my current favorite aircraft is a paraglider. I have flown hang gliders as well so you can find videos about both here. This channel is about my free-flight adventures and struggles.

Where's the "changing mind"?
Hard to see in this vertical format. Landed not where intended
Լավն էր 😊
How many horsies does one need to do this? I'm getting ideas again! I have a boat with 50...
No idea
It's clear
Is it?
Better to be a hang glider than a pheasant
😂
Nice👍
Superb!
Where's the barf bag, towing at those speeds makes my head and tummy spin lol
😁
Thank you, Andrey, for showing me this!!
Chain stitch. Basic starting for crochet and knitting.
Crochet loops.
Nice flight Max! I love this style of video. Thank you!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
Красиво! Давно тоже...
Так красиво сел. 👍🏻
Rad! So much to pick apart and learn from this flight. Love the edit too. Your commentary while flying, plus the tracks and voice over is really good. Looking forward to the next one. Cool that Andre gets a cameo in this one.
Glad you enjoyed!
Must have been serious to deploy so high. Stability looks awesome on these new gen reserves.
I'm just up the river from you guys and fly by there occasionally! Looks like a blast!
Stop by and say hi 😊 you probably can even land on the runway, if you call ahead
@@SkyMaxOne awesome! Will have to do that someday!
Wowee !!! Nice XC.
Thanks!
Que floresta linda ! Toda colorida !😮
Fantastic!
Thank you!
Как комар 😂
A butterfly
Good job Max, good pilot and good wing makes the difference.
Thank you! It's a challenging game and the result is never guaranteed. If it was easy we wouldn't be doing it. 😁
Awi nawm hmel top ka chak ve eee,min zir tir ve ruu khawngaih takin
With proper training, time and effort - yes
Does that wheel system have shock absorption? Where can I get it?
It does not. It would not help much anyway. Would just add more weight
Aterrissagem perfeita
Lucky for him it was such a forgiving wing. Thank God for the Falcon
It's not a falcon. But still a very forgiving North Wing model
Thanks for the video, paragliding and Mexico sounds like á good mix. And advice on learning Paragliding and the best locations or schools?
Glad you enjoyed it. As to a school, it depends whee you are. Google paragliding near your location, I am sure you'll find a couple. All advice I can give you is to get good instruction from the start and practice on the ground as much as you can
Hi. Back in 2007 I had also a reserve deployment, but I had less than 90 meters to the ground. But luckily I did´nt injury my self. Btw in was in capital of Greenland. ruclips.net/video/W2c8cpp6zSw/видео.html
good save
Thanks
About how long does it take to learn this
Like any physical skill - It depends...
How fast do you have to go to get that thing up in the air
Stall speed is around 18 mph
When was this?!
Oct 2021
High bump tolerance!!
😊 Takes some time to get used to
Don’t know what’s going on, so I’m guessing that you’re gaining altitude in a thermal, and the beeping indicates rate of ascent?
Yes, the instrument you hear is called a variometer, or "vario." When the pitch is higher and the beeps are faster, it indicates a greater rate of ascent. This helps you map out the shape and size of the thermal, allowing you to stay in the core more effectively.
You got it right 👍
Hi, I' m trying the same harness and have the same problem you have, (legs going up on bumps or entering a strong thermal), feeling to fall behind that make your abs constantly engaged. I think that the problem is how much weight you put in the rear container, i.e. camel back and other stuff, that makes the harness oscillating two much around the barycentre. I already have the lateral straps tighten at max so I should be quite in an upright position but that seems not enough to counter the problem. Loosen the legs straps doesn't seem the right solution for me because you alter too much the angle at which the harness should be (legs too low). So I think I'm trying to move as much weight (camel bak included) as I can to the front "ballast container" they give you with the harness. In this case all the weight is neutral because is close, if not exactly, on the vertical of the barycentre and should have no effect on the pitch. Let me know if this make sense for you and/or you solved the problem in a different manner. Cheers.
On this flight I didn't have my back all the way upright. On my last flight, I did put it all the way up, shorten the leg straps, and adjusted two other seat straps (forget what's they are called and manual is confusing anyway). After all that, the flight was very comfortable, and flying was very nice. Really enjoyed it. My main mistake the first time around was doing adjustments without weight in the back container. This time, I put 5kg dumbbell there, and then started leveling legs until it looked right. It worked. I did have the same idea about using ballast container for drinking water, but haven't tried it yet. I believe, we should be able to adjust it without it. My seatboard is currently a bit angled forward, and it didn't seem to bother me much... yet. Adjusting this harness is a work in progress, but I think I got it pretty close for now.
Yeah baby!
Nice
Another good video, looks like you were working pretty hard to stay up. I always have no trouble falling asleep after a day of hang gliding lol
Cool
Thats bad ass anytime i get above 50-60 feet all i can think about is how if i fall its all over and how ill have just enough time to think that thought
We have a reserve parachute if things go wrong.
un petit-pois 🙂
Um...
Apply pressure to your magnificent ACR handles and you will never have a collapse again.
There is no a paraglider or technique that guarantees no collapse.
Que massa isso 😮
ลงได้นุ่มนวลมาก❤
Hang gliding it's way sexier.
Agreed. I go with practical lately instead. Fun per pound sort of equation 😅
@@SkyMaxOne the downside : collapses . 😢
@@NoTengoIlusiones you get used to that part. Most of them are benign, and we can actually practice recovery. When I started with PG, collapse "problem" was really high on my list. After a few years... yes, it's still there, but just a characteristic of the aircraft 🙂
@@SkyMaxOne that is what I believe it's a nonsense and a paradox: "you get used to that part". Aircraft should not close in flight and change it's behavior. I know PG usability it's a big plus, but enough for security trade off? Accepting with normality parachute openings, collapses, cravats like the "new normal" ? Fly safe. Cheers
@@NoTengoIlusionesI tried it and it worked for me. It's easy to deal with a colapse high in the air, where they mostly happen. I was convinced by experience, not theoretical fears. It's not like hg safety record is any better than pg, just for a different reason. You fly safe as well. It's a dangerous sport either way. Stay vigilant.
Thank you for this knowledge
Pilotwings theme song playing :)
jeez, that was pretty close to a few broken bones
Not really, but can be better.
Very nice tow take off, Very nice landing ❤🎉🎉
Thank you!
Well THAT'S some differing angles! Love it. TY
Is that a racetrack I see?
Yes. Palmer MA
