Take
off videos - Adam
Parer and Rick Duncan
demonstrates mastery of the art.
- Note Adam and Rick
footlaunching, a
skill you should aspire to master.
- They do not cease his run until
the glider is definitely flying.
- The trasition to the base bar is
sure but unhurried.
- For Adam; as he put his feet in
the
harness, he locks his upper arms beside his body. All control movements
are short jabs. Note the body stays parallel to the keel. It is wise to
practice this high speed technique prior to towing.
