Скачать или смотреть Short Paraglider Experiment! Day 15 - 30 Day Youtube Challenge - BANDARRA

I've always wondered what would happen if a glider had really long lines or really short ones, or you only had half a wing, or two wings?

Well finally I got round to testing the short paraglider idea. I took a very old "ground handling only" paraglider I had laying around and I crudely shortened the lines.

Even as it was before the wing would often just hang back and not want to fly overhead so had to solve that problem by releasing the brakes and also artificially putting on some speedbar. If I had the time it would have been better to proportionally release the Ds, Cs and Bs.

In the end it kind of worked despite the wind conditions not being ideal to test it. Managed to keep it above my head for a full minute so it was definitely manageable despite everything.

What I took away from it was that it was a bit more snappy compared to what it was before but generally speaking similar in roll and pitch. It would have been because of the turbulence at this site but it felt like it was more responsive in yaw than before.
