AGAT (Acro Graphic Analysis Tool)
VTR™ 1000 and VTR™ 1003 Automatic devices are logging in-flight sensors data on their internal SD card. This data can be download on the PC and via USB and – together with the video from the on board camera – can be visualized with a nifty piece of PC software we created, called AGAT (Acro…
Infinity Tumbling by Machine
Henceforth we shall present the video of the “First Rhythmic sat to Infinite Tumbling ever performed by a machine with the help of a human” The machine is the VTR™ 1000 automatic. The human is Calin Popa (me 🙂 ). I have started my training with the VTR™ on the 19th of July 2012. We…
The VTR™ 1003 automatic explained!
The possibilities of this device, the VTR™ 1003 automatic, are vast. Covering a wide display of technical fields (physics, electronic engineering, programming, logic algorithms, reflexology, statistical behavior and top sports performance), it allows us to discover never before seen patterns, create correlations and dwell deep into the mechanic parameters of aerobatic paragliding flight! Guided performance,…
The VTR™ concept (point of origin)
The Concept. During my training in acro, since 2006, I have been thinking of ways to learn faster and safer. The idea came in spring 2009 as I was unsuccessfully struggling to get the right timings for Rhythmic SAT. Everybody was telling me “pull later”, “pull earlier”, etc, but how to tell on which timing…

VTR 1000 meets Pal Takats !
The backbone of understanding and programming Rhythmic to Infinite on the VTR1000 automatic were the synched motion recordings done with Acro Champion Pal Takats, in Oludeniz, Turkey. There, in may 2011, he performed most aerobatic maneuvers at optimal execution parameters, and so we gathered essential data to program the unit to identify automatically the perfect…
