We touch upon topics like: CCC rules and the 14cm speed travel limitPitch stability and moment coefficient (Cm) in paraglider designThe trade-off between stability and speed in competition wingsEnzo 3's marginal pitch stability, plastic rods, fabric shrinkageCertification challenges & Some Proposed solutionsConical End of speed section, altitude bonus, airspeed limitWhy the 10mm trimming limit doesn't solve the real problemProduction variation in competition wings (millimeter-level differences)The incentive to compromise stability for final glide performanceWant to go beyond the episode?

Join my newsletter for more regular updates: In this talk, held on one of the bad weather days at SRS Piedrahita on one of the non-flying days, Brett breaks down the hidden science of paraglider trimming, the fine art of measuring and adjusting line lengths to optimize performance, safety, and legality. At times You'll noticed blank screen for video which is due to the camera overheating at the time of recording, although the audio is fairly consistent throughout the conversation and without any glitches. 🌍Soaring High Resources: Elevate Your Aerial Pursuits🚀 🔗 Meet the Maestro: Brett Janaway (https://xtc-paragliding.com/) SRS Live (https://srs.live/) Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/sportsclassracingseries/) Want to go beyond the episode?
