Trims and Harness Picture

Submitted by ale liendo on Wed, 2006-03-01 00:43.

My name is Alejandro Liendo and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I meet Mathias Roten in prePWC in Tucuman Argentina but I didn`t know he was Speedflying. I miss the oportunity to ask him for details!!!! Anyway, someone has a picture of the harness and/or the trim system?, I wonder how they are. About colours, you can choose any of the 4 colors for each size or each size has his own colour?Our Ski season here in South America is on July -August, hope I can hear some comments fromeuropean pilots that are now doing experiences.

Hello Ale. Nice to have you on my site.

At the moment there is just one color each side. On http://www.gingliders.com you will see themes under speed-flying. The way you can trim the wing is 4cm in each way which will give you the possibility to accelerate or break the wing about 10km/h on both sides. The harness is the same like the yeti harness but with buckles for the legstraps and the back pack placed further up.

cheers
Mathias

Yes it is possible see

Not sure how easy or difficult it is to do, as not all kites are suitable. I guess would need to be a minimum of 10.0m² in area or around 1.3 lbs/ft² (6.5 Kg/m²) wing loading.

I have already emailed the guy who is in the video but not yet had a reply.

Hola Nicolas:

Yo tengo planificado solo 3 semanas en Bariloche por lo cual prefiero ir a algo ya probado. Me estoy comprando un NANO 14 m2. Por otro lado es un deporte nuevo y va a llevar un tiempo optimizar la vela para este deporte, prefiero seguir la evolucion natural.Cualquier cosa chifla!!

I'm planning only 3 weeks in Bariloche (Patagonia) so I prefer something known . I'm buying a NANO 14 m2. By the way this is a new sport, and it will take some time until the wing is optimized. I prefer to follow the natural evolution.
