Test harness AirDesign The Sock
As I announced at the beginning of November, I would like to test harnesses at regular intervals. The first harness in this series was the lightweight harness The Sock from AirDesign.
Criteria for a harness test
In the relevant specialist magazines, forums and blogs, harnesses tend to play a subordinate role. Reason enough for me to test harnesses regularly and publish a report on them here in this blog. But what are the criteria for a test that is as objective as possible?
Review harness Niviuk Arrow

Paragliding know how with ChatGPT
I use AI in my blog to translate German texts into English. This works quite well for the most part, but sometimes the meaning of the text is not recognised and translated incorrectly. Could AI answer my questions about paragliding in the various disciplines? Would it be conceivable to dispense with the knowledge in forums, YouTube, blogs, fellow pilots, books etc. and rely solely on text-based AI à la ChatGPT? I have asked one question from various category and checked ChatGPT's answer for accuracy.
Keyboard XC Remote
XC Track is now used by many pilots on their smartphones. A major drawback here is the lack of hardware buttons.

Clemens Lehner offers such a source in playing card format.
