    Det fanns gott om utrymme. Tror att brobanan är minst 50 meter över vattnet i mitten. Valde denna bro delvis för att det går att landa ifall motorn stannar. Vet inte om de möjligheterna finns för Askøy bron.

    @@Seneslau07 I think I managed to get it quite well balanced. My naked weight is a little over 80 kg. There's no way I could measure the hang angle exactly because it's different when flying to when doing a hang test. It also depends on the posture you are having at the moment. I got some papers regarding the BMS but other than that you need to check online. Most of it was quite easy so I wouldn't worry about it.

    @@Seneslau07 Yeah it's definitely possible to catch thermals and theoretically stay up for 10 hours. Just be aware of the potential dangers of flying mid day. I find it a lot more difficult to find the thermals and stay in the core while flying paramotor compared to when paragliding. But I've done it and it sure does work. 🙂

    03:45 - Hawk fly-by at 3,000’ that was special. Talk gently to them sometimes they fly with you just cuz they get bored too. Never fly directly at a bird of prey, that would be a sign of aggression, similar to dogs. Approach them slowly or let them approach you. This one was friendly maybe a bit surprised to see you there, not pissed at all. Hah. Subscribed!

    They are vultures. They never attack paragliders unlike some others birds of prey. I guess they wouldn't mind eating a pilot that has crashed however. :) You can use the vultures as an indication of thermals. Sometimes they fly together with you in the thermal and sometimes they get scared and go find another one.
