Could use it as a nice source of lift like one german guy on yt did with his glider 😅. But personally I would be sweating no matter if it was a hang glider, paraglide or glider.

Nope, there is only one in that valley really and that's the official bottom landing field that I landed in. The camera is very portable and I like how you can detach it, but the image quality is lacking the GoPro slightly. I'll try 4k next time.

True, it was only after I posted that I realised the a true definition of a tornado is when the cloud reaches the ground. This was actually a funnel cloud. Sorry for the disappointment and thanks for watching. Hopefully you have seen my better stuff on the channel. Where in Mexico are you from? Great country, I flew Valle de Bravo about 10 years ago, superb place!

At 0:00, the picture of you at the American Cup launch at Chattanooga TN- I was there! You Brits were amazing in that comp. In 2000 I visited Graham Slater at Clench Common and he treated me to a flight in his little carbon-fiber airplane, over a dozen "patterns in the cereal fields." Thanks for the memories and the encouragement you guys shared by your example in pursuit of flight, always with a lot of _class_. This Alabama boy says thanks to all you pioneers who shared the dream, and inspired many others like me to SOAR! I went on to fly for 30+ yrs.😍

It is beatiful, starkly so, but it's not a natural landscape, and I can't think of any other country in Europe that wouldn't have got a better start on restoring it back to what it once looked like and still could.

Hi, did you print you instrument support ? looks awesome. Kobo, Naviter and what's the other one? thank you.
@PlaneDelta
@PlaneDelta Жыл бұрын
Yes, my wife designed it for me and I 3D printed it! The other instrument is a Skydrop (skybean.eu/skydrop-vario) which I use to feed the kobo. I just have a plug which I use to connect the kobo as I have gone through a few kobos now and it is easier to just solder the plug rather than a bluefly each time. It is also an acceptable backup for competition flying, I copied the idea from Gordon Rigg.

Yes I was very lucky, could have been a lot worse! One of the best things I have ever been taught is if it's not looking good, let go at the very last minute and use the hang glider to take the energy out of the landing.

@@Aluminata Didn't you go up twice for harness and other stuff? How about the atos guy with two halves? Or anyone that may have went up with you to help? I don't know about you but I wouldn't hike up that trail with both the glider and harness on my own anyway, so that's two trips. Do glider with wheels on the first, bring wheels back down.

How often is it this good and what times of year?
@PlaneDelta
@PlaneDelta Жыл бұрын
I think it is probably possible once or twice a year from Glen Coe. However Scotland probably has maybe a dozen epic days a year but the wind direction doesn't allow you to launch from Glen Coe every time. I was very lucky to be able to launch on this day, it was touch and go as the wind was very light.

Great video! Where we tow, Lookout Mountain, GA, the LZ is often a bit rowdy. One tip I give people is don't let go of the cart it the wings AREN'T Level! That extra weight hanging down below the glider can fix a lot of un-level wing cart-exit problems. Dropping the cart a couple feet isn't a big deal but leaving the cart with the wings in a bank sux!
