Green flying
Paragliding November 27th, 2006
When oil runs out again - this is the answer for HG / PG pilots who want to get into the air in an environmentally friendly manner? With new battery technology opens opportunities for electric motors powered para. Not only are they quieter, but they do not emit CO2 at all. Csaba Lemak has created the world's first PPG. It weighs 22 kg, produces 16 horses, has a flying time of one hour, and charging time of one hour. This is my dream! Powered flight with a good conscience (as long as electricity to charge with is "green" then). Video from the maiden voyage here. A video from YouTube:
trial and error method
Paragliding November 22nd, 2006
Is this a method that is suitable for learning to fly? Norwegian Air Sports Federation , in cooperation with the Civil Aviation Administration enabled laws and rules for training and certification of Hang and paraglider pilots. Videon shows how things can go when using trial and error method (this is a form of paragliding, kiting, or using a water kite as a paraglider). Frode Halse has any hint of an article that deals with safety in paragliding. How safe is paragliding ?
Poor Aleksey
Daily Day November 8th, 2006
It was perhaps a bit of most made with praise? Skrytevideon been verdensskjent after Aleksey Vayner sent it to a potential employer with the November 1-page CV, whereupon someone leaked it on YouTube. This is one of the most blærete I've seen, but entertaining. Really. Vayner is otherwise Yale student and someone says that "all" stock brokers (Investment Bankers) is in this way.
See and judge for yourself!
