Test Nano Vario
Most pilots are typical local mountain pilots, fly tandem privately or commercially or only do hike and fly. A simple vario without too many technical accessories, such as the Nano Vario, is sufficient for this.
Test Niviuk Arrow P 2
The Niviuk Arrow P 2 is the successor to the P and the light version of the Arrow, which I have been flying for some time now. In contrast to the Arrow, the P version is the lightweight version and is therefore intended for hike-and-fly and bivouac pilots.

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.

I have asked one question from various category and checked ChatGPT's answer for accuracy.
