What’s the minimal wind speed that would make sense to go out and practice? I’m looking at spot which offers 1.6 up to 2.5 m/s tomorrow but it takes some time to get there by car from my place.

@@Michal8K8 first of all thanks for the comment. It depends. If its steady wind 2.5 might work. I like it a bit stronger. Also consider if area still have snow. And also have long travel distance. Might just be better saving the hassle for better days. Were is the spot?

Absolutely. Several places:) thanks

What are your tips for keeping high aspect ratio gliders pinned to the ground (often the centre rises up) and also keeping the tips from folding in?

To be honest, I haven't encountered this problem. That being said, i fly the base 2. High B . But i will try to ask around and get back to you :)

Ref: bgd teampilot group It’s a balance of a little tension in the A lines not enough to lift the glider up about 200-300mm this then pushed the rest of the glider down. Too much brake will lifte the rear edge up. You have to find a balance.

@@JoarABTheflyingraven Thanks. I could do this fine with my other EN-B gliders but have big issues with the Explorer 2. Even though I keep light A pressure, using the rears at all and not even the brakes means the middle jumps up or I get cravats.

@turkeyphant sounds like lightweight? In stronger wind, i try to do checks on my glider, not in the strongest wind area. Then get it when I'm ready. My lightweight seems to have an auto lunch function, too :p

@@JoarABTheflyingraven Yes Explorer 2 is a lightweight. And it does like to launch itself! The problem is I often need to wait for a lull to launch and while waiting it's impossible to keep it on the ground!

I can't not say this enough, ground handling is so important to have a safe takeoff 🪂😊 Pluss is fun 😃
