Great vid, but why not fly further along the ridge away from the other gliders which would be so much safer?

Nice! Nothing like getting to the cloud base. I launched from 1300 msl yesterday and got to 6K at cloud base.

The joy and excitement of getting good tones. I need to try and thermal my PeaBee ADAM, now I have got the confidence to turn the engine off.
@damoflyingadventures2 жыл бұрын
The Adam should thermal fine. Test you min sink in calm air and you will know how strong a thermal you need. Does your oudie have a variometer?
@GolfFoxtrot222 жыл бұрын
@@damoflyingadventures yes, it's a sailplane/paragliding device. More bells and whistles than I would every use. I can plumb the audio vario tones into my earcups.

What's the paddle with the lcd screen?
@damoflyingadventures2 жыл бұрын
Its a variometer and gps to measure air pressure change and aid navigation. The variometer beeps to tell you you are in rising air, the faster the beeps the faster you are going up

Nicos Halvatzis thank you Nicos, Next time i will make sure you rig your glider just so it's ready :-0. Wished you did fly yesterday would have been great to thermal with you
@damoflyingadventures9 жыл бұрын
I think we were both at fault Dan. I know i was fixated on the big thermal ahead and he was too. thankfully nothing happened but must keep a better lookout

Great video -around 7 mins in - jeez, that was close! I couldn't make out who the pilot was. It was getting crowded quite a few times which is why I was often out of the ridge lift. Lovely flight and great video of the day!

Looks like I missed a cracking day. Good idea to practice landing approaches into the Paddock. Like myself you must still hear D Pagen voice lecturing on the hand-grip position on take-off....

Nice one Damien; great getting on to the uprights early; that's something I've been doing a lot more these days. I did miss an upright in the Paddock last year and slammed in pretty hard. I walked away but the glider needed an expensive repair! Best to be safe! I now prefer the large field at the back!

Hey Damien ,,,what a shame not the best condition !!! A bit late for the uprights but you got away , Did you shout < i love you > ?
@damoflyingadventures10 жыл бұрын
I think it was a woohoo!! lol! yes a bit late on the uprights but a good last second save. The rear wire position is a bit different than my crossover and the heavy rain was taking up my attention. Ultimately the approach circuit was good but i should have been in the landing configuration sooner. Least i know now that the rain didn't affect performance as much as I was expecting although I was flying a bit faster than best glide

@damoflyingadventures10 жыл бұрын
Thanks Nicos, cloudbase was around 3800 feet at the inversion, Maxed out at 3600 where it all got a bit bumpy. I wasn't planning on going for distance but a small triangle. I tried several times to make the last leg but in the end was beaten by the headwind and slow climbs. (200 up). each time I topped out and went into wind I had to climb and drift again. I had about 20k zig zagging all over the place but in the end was only 8k from the field. My VG was set on 2/3 and I just left it there. I should have made more use of it but i'm not sure the final third would have made much difference
