Tried the paraglider again but this time by Minster car park. Managed a few very short flights before two lines came adrift from the parafoil wing.
I could only launch the beast using both hands - leaving Tx on the floor.
Lots of extra ballast had to be added to stop the paraglider being blown back - the extra added weight means this pilot is now obese and weighs in at just under 2 pounds. (scale weight ?).
Conclusions...
The angle of attack still needs adjusting - so do the brake line lengths.
All lines have now had a drop of superglue added to the knots to stop them coming undone.
Cliff launch would be best - more vertical component to the wind so better inflation of the canopy however, I wont venture on the cliffs till they dry out...

Has this been left as a cliff hanger?
Better than a mud clinger
