Want to master cobra inflation in real conditions?
This is not just another video. In this episode of Tandem Mastery, we take cobra inflation to Level 2, exploring an advanced, realistic technique for paragliding in demanding conditions.
🔍 What will you learn in this episode?
✅ How to perform cobra inflation with maximum control from the pre-inflation stage
✅ How to detect the active side in real time
✅ One-side inflation technique (brake + A-riser on the same side)
✅ Smooth transitions from cobra to frontal control
✅ Glider comparison: old, standard, and tandem
✅ When to use this technique (and when NOT to!)
🧠 This is not a show trick. It’s a useful tool for specific real-world situations like:
- Strong wind training scenarios
- When classic inflation fails
- Partially inflated or unstable glider setups
🛠️ This video is designed for pilots who want to progress safely and realistically, by understanding the “why” behind every movement.
📌 Pro tip:
Cobra Level 2 is more about finesse than force. Keep tension on one side, guide the wing precisely, and adapt the inflation to each configuration.
