This looks amazing, and I can't wait for next winter. Three questions:
How do these wings behave in open air? Let's say you fly off a nice cliff, and get pretty far away from the slope. What kind of stuff can you do in the air? Is there anyway to slow them down to a reasonable crash speed, in case you realize you don't have a place to ski in to land?
Are these wings bombproof, so that even in rotor they behave nicely?
I found this website because Chiemsee Flugschule offered instruction in Speed Gliding. What would they teach me? I am a competition paraglider pilot, a constant free rider (telemarker, actually), and I have a brain.
Come to think of it, has anyone done this on teleskis? I am trying to think if that would be a problem.
