The review and outlook for July with the following topics: !!!Fear!!!; On unusual routes through the Piave Valley / Bassano; The fascination of paragliding; Over Iceland; Paragliding safety training at Lake Idro.
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.
Two years ago, I explained my XC Track page layouts in more detail. XC Track has evolved and I have also gained new insights since then. I have therefore adapted the settings over time and would like to present my updated settings again here.
After a long break, I would like to continue the series "Simple tips for everyday pilot life". This time with checking the reclining harness setting, first aid kit and USB-C cable with fabric tape.
At regular intervals (usually at the end of the month), I would like to provide an overview of the topics that have particularly stuck in my memory or deserve a special mention, as well as special events that are coming up in the next month. As I really enjoy watching paragliding videos, I'm sure there will be video recommendations from me in every review. Let's start with Flying from Brauneck to Munich, XC Therm and the videos Crossing Dreams, Paragliding Roadtrip to Morocco and Learning to Fly.
Hike and fly fever has been spreading for several years now. Thanks to ever lighter materials, it is also possible for the untrained, à la Chrigel Maurer. One person who is trying to bring hike and fly closer to every man or woman is Peter Waldner, whether by organising hike and fly competitions, providing a competition app or his hike and fly YouTube channel. In this interview, he explains why he still enjoys the peace and quiet of a hike and fly away from the hustle and bustle and what makes this type of sport so fascinating for him.
