Looks like a fun afternoon. I've watched these things (sans moteur) taking off from cliffs etc and the canopy collapsing to one side occasionally. I think being a wimp, I will stick to 3 axis, lacking the skill (bravery) to tackle the task. Thanks for the Vid. Nev.

The beauty about these is no cliffs or mountains required. regards Rodger

Hi Nev,

 

I'm with you, scares the S*%t out of me. Paragliders and Powered Paragliders can stall their wings, collapse then re-inflate (if they have got enough vertical space) otherwise :(.

 

The Aerochute's Manufacturer has installed ring stops on the control lines which limits their travel and you cannot stall the machine. Foot throttle controls climb and decend.

 

Regards

 

Mike

No I've only seen it when attempting take off and would put it down to wind directional change. With a bit of height it wouldn't matter as it is pendulous. Nev
