Bguittet Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Hello i give you a link on 2 videos for the first time, i'm french i have flown in many countries during my hollydays, but these vidéos have been recorded in France The first one other the clouds and the second during a SIV at Annecy with Nucléon wing (it's the better way to know your wing and how to fly with collapses). As you can see on the second video, the Nucléon flies very well with 50% collapse.

morgy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Loving the spirals in the first video!!!! Loving the SIV video.... Bit concerned about the 30sec recovery of the nucleon from a 60% asymmetric collapse!!!! Welcome to the forum..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjenni12 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 The recovery was deliberately slow as the A's were being held down to practice steering the wing whislt deflated. As soon as he released the A's it reinflated and carried on as normal. You'll notice that all the induced collapses were done on slow trim, it's pretty much impossible to pull a frontal on full reflex as your weight is already on the A's.

morgy Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi Phil Taking another look at the video close up is see your right there holding onto the A's.... I realise you can't collapse the front when trimmers out.. I did think that it took to long.. The video kinda makes me want to go and do an SIV.

stevec Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Nice videos - thanks. One question from a relative newbie: Why was the reserve tossed in the 2nd video? The cravat looked quite benign and controllable. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bguittet Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Hello My friend has tossed his reserve because he was not rather high and there was no other way to not finish in the water. But especially it's a good experience to do reserve during SIV, you 're right it's not a probleme to land with that kind of cravat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
