SIV Full Stall Spin and Spiral-
daniel's big day off
The SOL "One" is being explored.
Notice that the Allison Sled paragliders may be flown as a one-riser
per side or as an absolute single-line paraglider. Similar for other wings
for paragliders. The SOL "One" is not first as touted. Explore: Take
a Scott Sled kite; place a resistive mass at lower end of the left and
right tethers; set the arrangement into fall and see paraglider. If you
want an absolute single line, then with line-spreader, if you wish, join
the two bridle tethers to a single down tether and then add the resistive
set; place in fall and have yourself a true absolute single-line
paraglider. MORE: Take a picnic plate. Make a cut-out from the
leading edge for 1/3 of the leading edge and into the center (one piece
piece out). Attach a single line without forked bridle; add a resistive
mass; set into fall in air and have an absolute-single-line paraglider.
For safe manned paragliders, more care is needed. : )

- Essential part of a paraglider (gliding kite)
- Tapering
- Double-role tethers (as tether and resistive set as in the inverted
paragliding of ballooning spiders (which are actually paragliding
spiders). From a wing set (w) hang a tether set (t)
of certain adequate mass, shape, texture, length , and then set such
arrangement into fall in a planetary atmosphere and have yourself a
paraglider (a type of gliding kite). In this setting the
specialized t plays a double role for the paraglider: as tether
set and as resistive set. As just told, such paraglider is an unmanned
aircraft or UAV; if one adds a human into the arrangement in the
w or in the t
or as main r, then the machine is manned.
