Glider Exploring Fillmore Mountains in Utah

Fillmore, Utah is right about smack dab in the middle of the state. I don't know of any real famous things about it other than it is a common stop while driving on I-15 to get gas or a bite to eat. But from the air...the mountains just east of Fillmore are spectacular! This video was taken from a 15 meter (50 feet wing span) glider or sailplane and shows off how amazing the mountains are right next to Fillmore. I sure hope you enjoy the ride! Bruno - B4

[@pertorner2922]

I hope that you can glide soon (saw the thing with FAA). Just found this channel and now I think gliders are the coolest thing on the planet! 😊

[@garik64]

Thank you for this great flight. It's like I was flying by myself.

[@BrunoVassel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@martbosman8373]

@@BrunoVassel Just an idea, use the camera this guy has: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5mbnaqQYspooJo It's the closest to sitting in the glider yourself that I have seen.

[@auslandserfahrungen]

Your movies are great. You seem to be an expert for flying a sailplane. I especially like your comments. They tell me, that you are really full of respect for flying and all for depending on them. This is very important to handle the plane in difficult situations. And your sense of humour and enthusiasm. Although you always look easy to fly the plane. I already have looked plenty of your uploads.

[@javichu_0581]

Hello I'm 15 and last summer I was 14 I did my first ever solo flight in a ASK 21 sure you herd of her she is kind of acrobatic and really fun to fly loved it and next year il be 16 and I'm gonna be able to examine for my privet license im in Spain by the way and flying in the border between France and Spain is amazing when covid is out of the way you should go I'm sure you will enjoy it have fun flying.

[@DorianTMChannel]

Wow, amazing views

[@teamsycotik]

Bruno i watched a video where you were gliding over some beautiful canyons in Utah and you had the gopro on your head so we could see were you were looking. I really loved that view felt like I was in the glider too. If you get the opportunity it would be awesome if you could mount the camera to your head again. Thank you for the amazing videos. You have inspired me to sine up for a ride with the local gliders club in wa wen the season starts back up.

[@PureGlide]

If you put tape on your lid, can you actually eject it if you need to bail out?! Obviously blocking bail out is a really bad idea :) Unless you don't fly with a chute at all?! Get some surgical tube and seal it up with that I suggest. Or use the plastic wrap method with some sealant.

[@justme.9711]

Hey Bruno, or anyone who can answer - PLEASE! What level of instrumentation/help can you get from just ipad apps these days. I love your display of track and climb to be able to track the thermal that you are in, but can you get that on any ipad/phone apps????

Good.

[@morthomer5804]

Are you using any flight tracking system/ software?

[@patrykrog8121]

In 2019 you made a video of a air show and said you lost your licence so its good to see you flying again. What are the costs of flying a glider as i would really like to try it out? Im currently 16 and saving money to do my licence for ppl as i want to become a airline pilot one day. Ive heard that gliding is a lot cheaper and that many people start like that so do you think its worth a try?

[@GerstBladeworks]

If its you're dream. Then absolutely

[@defaultgamer34857]

At my club it’s about $30 for a tow to 3,000, and then $10-14 an hour for the glider but you have to pay for a full hour. There is also a $40 a month membership fee to the club. I’m on scholarship rn which includes 35 flights, instruction, and materials. Look and see if there are any opportunities like that for you.

Very nice Bruno. I have been following you since the Phobus days. I flew gliders at Krey field in southern California. Then got into paragliders. Have been thinking about getting back into sailplanes. Here's a video from Cedar mountain a few years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWKZdHaBiMZ5fqM

[@sharonr2121]

What is the point of that little dancing thing on your windshield?

[@ChrisWilliams-tw6oe]

Its a yaw string. Helps to notice when the glider is balanced correctly when turning without looking in the cockpit at the turn and slip indicator

[@jop5827]

You use it to see how much rudder you need to put in, if its in the middle your good. If its not in the middle you start slipping.

[@sharonr2121]

Chris Williams, ah, okay. Thank you.

[@sharonr2121]

Maximus Lockhart, that makes sense. Danke.

[@ChrisWilliams-tw6oe]

@Maximus Lockhart It has nothing to do with wind direction. It is all to do with the application of rudder in a turn. Relates to the primary and secondary effects of controls.
