Red Bull Winch Sessions

I always find it amazing how well Red Bull markets simple stuff and makes it cool. They are using the same sort of winches we use for our training and towing for paragliding, wake-boarding and snow-boarding. We should be breaking out our gear this winter and having some fun with it!

Our InfiniteSky Sim at the CAE

Posted Wed, 05/12/2010 - 22:24 by Instinct

I forgot to post this edited video I took at the CAE. It shows how well our 'InfiniteSky' Hang Gliding Simulator worked with its articulating mount which is rigged with motion sensors to control the flight simulator. The 'pilot' has a 60" LCD screen in front of them and you can see the mirrored image on another LCD screen in the top right.
