[@lourensgeldenhuys9377]

I have many hours in a Blanik. Both front seat and doing instruction from the rear seat. A remarkable glider, indeed!

[@InpointmediaAuSydney]

I did my first training flight in a Blanik at Baragwanath Airfield in Johannesburg in the 1970's. I had an ancient pilot instructor, a German guy who it turned out was a Luftwaffe fighter pilot in WW11. He handed over control to me, first time ever and I became fixated on the instruments. I looked up and we were almost vertical and I was pulling back hard on the stick. I never forget he said as he rapidly grabbed the stick and took over "und now you pull ze vings off und zen ve die ...Ja?".

[@J18Flyer]

Haha! Wow that must have been great to have such an instructor! Really made my day thanks! 🤣👌

[@tazzo64]

My late Uncle (Wessel Marais) was a glider pilot and took me for a flight. It was at Magaliesburg. He told me of a WWII German Ace who flew at the club and appropriately went by the name of Heinz. I forgot the surname. This was circa 1976. Same guy?

[@tazzo64]

Sorry for those not from here - Johannesburg South Africa. I think the airfield was Orion. I was 10 years old.

[@tazzo64]

Going through the online sources I recognise the glider - it was a Grunau Baby II B-2

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

My instructor in the L13 was always telling my to keep my head on a swivel, across the flying panel then outside and across the canopy and back to the flying panel over and over. He was right of course, awareness inside AND outside at all times.

[@v1rotait23]

I'm not sure how you came up in my feed, but thank you. This brought back childhood memories of flying in a Blanic back in the mid '70s as a young boy on holiday with my family down in Queenstown, New Zealand! I can still remember some things about it. As I got older I spent many Sunday afternoons at our local airforce base in Wigram helping hook up gliders and running the wing while launching gliders at the Canterbury Gliding Club. As an adult I went on to fly many Piper and Cessna fixed wing planes and finally, a multi engine instrument rating with a NZL CPL. I love doing spins and doing many stalls, but never without an engine! The glider club moved many years ago out to the countryside near Springfield, so we never see the gliders soaring high over 15000ft above my home suburbs over the Christchurch Port Hills. I've vivid memories of the big Piper Pawnee with its noisy 2 blade propellor tips, always pulling 2 gliders, hauling them skyward over the volcanic peninsula. Great memories of grass, tow ropes, testing the rope release and hooking up the tow ropes and enduring the prop blast from the Pipers in the prevailing easterly wind. Cheers, David.

[@bearpoik]

so I guess that's the story why he came up in your feed

I was able to rent a Blanik L-13 decades ago and sure did enjoy it while I was able to fly sailplanes....I surely miss it, especially after watching this video....Thanks for posting this.... I brought back a LOT of memories for me....

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

12:27 "Don't pull too hard in the dive" man do I remember that, the first spin recovery I pulled about a G and my instructor calmly said "Not so hard on the stick next time", this brings back wonderful memories for me. Stalls were fun, the AC I flew gave a reassuring shudder just before the stall and if my memory serves me correctly the port wing would drop first every time, I seem to remember any aileron use at this time made it worse. Stalls on the L13 were 48 knots I think.

[@dja1353]

Thanks Martin. I loved flying both the L13 and L23 at Arlington and Ephrata Washington USA from 1981 to 1999. If I was blind I would know I was in a Blanik from all the little sounds - creaking, cables slapping, etc.

[@J18Flyer]

I´m glad to hear that! Exactly as you say this plane really has a personality. Sometimes I´m still little bit nervous about all the sounds this old metal lady is making during the flight. It really makes me proud that those machines made in our small country were used even in the US.

[@coriscotupi]

@@J18Flyer Brazil here. I got to fly in a Blanik once at a flying club, loved it but was too far away from home to be practical to pursuit gliding, so I went on to "the other side of the force" and learned to fly airplanes. But gliders still have a special place in my heart, I do fly them regularly in the form of radio controlled models.

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

yes !! and the clunk..clunk as the aircraft went over the top of a loop when the weight came off the wings and then back on again, those pins were so hard to get in and out of the main spar when taking the wings off but there was still the double clunk in a loop.

That was a great flight on a beautiful day! What a perfect setting you have. My old gliding club, Mid-Georgia Soaring Association, in Monroe, Georgia, USA, had two L-13s. I really liked flying them.

[@potrzebieneuman4702]

I learned to fly in an L13 Blanik way back in the early 1080's and thoroughly enjoyed flying this aircraft. I still have a soft spot for it despite the wing spar problems that appeared later. All of my flights were winch launched and I took my solo after 10.25 hours and had a cable break at the decision height of 300 feet on that trip....exciting !.

[@davidweaver4702]

We had a Blanik in Cyprus at The Crusaders gliding club while I was serving in the UK HM Forces. I started learning in a Slingsby T21, then went onto a K13 and the Blanik. The Blanik was my favourite to fly, although I loved the open cockpit of the T21 Sedburgh with the wind in your hair. I really miss those days. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Dave W 🍻

[@rallful]

I was also a member of RAF gliding clubs in the mid-late 70s (two Rivers at Laarbruch and Wrekin at Cosford). What I really hated about the Blanik was practice cable breaks from a winch launch. The Cosford field is fairly short and it was almost impssible from the back seat to tell how down the field we were!

[@rallful]

Further to my comment about the Cosford field being fairly short, some brave crew did get a Vulcan in. Perhaps I'm just naturally nervous!

[@clivebrealey6795]

I learned on the same types in the same sequence - at Humber G.C. at Lindholme (1978). Our T21 (314) had a 2-piece canopy which attached from either side. Good times, great friends. I believe our K13 was passed on to Crusaders when H.G.C was closed down in 1995.😊

Really enjoyed the Video. Reminded me of the time 25 years ago when I learned to fly gliders back in1998, using the Super Blanik L-23 at College Station, TX. The head mounted Video camera is just great, it brings back a lot of the pilot feeling when watching, eg. when you were peaking to the runway while at downwind and crosswind. Thank you!

[@J18Flyer]

Wow... It always strikes me when I hear that those machines are used so far away from my country. Like on the airfields of Texas USA ... thank you for the kind words my friend. Yeah I wanted to film it on head mounted camera exactly because of this reason. I think it is the best way to let the viewer feel the experience of flying one of these. I´m peaking quite often on a baseleg because as you certainly know you have to eyeball the point where to turn on a final especially when you have strong crosswind which is unfortunatelly pretty common in Olomouc.

I haven't flown gliders since the 90s. I have a commercial rating and used to give rides in the L-23. I have a few hundred hrs in the L-13 and 23. It's a solid no-nonsense glider I loved flying it. Some of my 1st commercial rides were in the flying tank, the Schweizer SGS 2-32.

[@dennisk5818]

Spin training was always an energizing time. Learned them flying in a Schweizer 2-33, so the only difference between those in this video (and the stalls) and when I was training, was the wing skin rattling like hell as you approached the stall. This brought back memories of the first spin and how, all of a sudden, you were looking STRAIGHT DOWN at the ground. In a way, spin training taught me more how to keep the ship in proper form, especially in those tight banks in a small thermal.

[@thomasbenian4701]

Thank you, beautiful video. Brings back memories of my youth. I learned to fly in Slovakia (Czechoslovakia) in 1962,63,64 on Pionyr L-109. Mainly with a winch take off about 160 flights to 350 -450 m and some 20 air tows with Zlin 205 or Brygadir L 60. Our Deep Banking turns, stalls and spins were done from 1500 m.

[@cloudhunter2]

I am currently a pilot in Valjevo, Serbia. There we have a Blanik L-13. It is basically the L-23, except for the tail design. I have over 25 hours of flying, but consider that I started the training in the summer of 2023. It is so nice to hear the command: YU-DCK (Piper PA18 Super Cub that's towing us), takeoff

Nice flight. I, with a friend, taught ourselves to do spins in a Cessna 150. After some practice, we could do many revolutions (>10) and control the rate of the spin with the ailerons. When I took my checkride, the examiner said he would demonstrate a spin, but could not get even 1/2 a revolution even after trying several times 🙂

[@Wheels-Wheels-Wheels]

Wow, enjoyed that. First time I've been in a glider!

[@av8tore71]

[@Mainbusfail]

The indicator of a relaxed and confident pilot is when he / she barely grips the stick, you don't really realize it until you do and its really neat to reach that pinnacle.

[@GreenCurryiykyk]

Just training. My instructors drilled fingertip flying into me. I wasn't great but I didn't fly with a deathgrip. A light touch is a good habit.

[@Mainbusfail]

@@GreenCurryiykyk Oh but I remember my first week out of ground school, I bet you could still to this day extrapolate my hand prints from both sides of the yoke in a couple of 152's and a tomahawk. My hands hurt at night and my ears rung. I wouldn't sell one minute of the agony for all the Bitcoin. I miss those days more than anything.

[@robfredericks2984]

Former US Navy jet pilot and flight instructor here. We did stalls and spins in every type of single engine prop and jet I flew 1967-1971, including "under the bag" instrument flying only. It seems odd to do spin recovery before stall recovery, since the A/C must stall before it can spin. The object is to prevent the spin by recovering from the stall first. Only if the stall is prolonged and asymmetric would it spin, then need the spin recovery. As I said, we recovered from spins even in instrument flying, even in jets. Navy pilots have always been the best! Landing on carriers required more skill and confidence than any other type of maneuvers. I also flew soaring A/C-gliders, the purist form of flying!

[@DonaldRawlinson]

Thank you so much for this video. I have flown fixed wing and helicopters but never a glider. I can't tell you how awesome this was for me. It felt as though I was there right behind you. Just loved it. Thank you and thank your Instructor. WOW

I hate doing stalls, but just do'em to see my friends eyes popping out of their sockets. I keep the plane level as long as possible, and just let it drop like a rock straight down. But I fly a 152, but I go up to around 10.000, and put it on idle and just glide, I mean, you can glide for about half hour,by myself Wish it would have retractable landing gear, and those fixable props

[@Mikeandlucy1]

Learnt to fly in a Blanik, not the most graceful of gliders but a real workhorse of the club I flew with. Sadly it was wrecked when a novice pilot launched too steeply off the winched cable and the cable sagged before slipping off the hook causing him to stall and nose dive 30ft into the ground. He is now a quadriplegic, It was the first of a series of mishaps at the club which eventually lead me to accept that gliding can be a very dangerous sport and as a new father, I owed it to my family to find a safer hobby.

[@markr.1984]

That looks really fun. I have the "Condor" sail plane simulator for my gaming PC but it's not very realistic, they say. But it's as close as I'm going to get because I just turned 66 years old. I was a airplane pilot for a short time in the very early 2000s. Flew Pipers and Cessnas but gave it up due to cost. But I did get my license and flew for three years.

[@lciummo1]

I took a few glider lessons was I was actively flying powered planes. It was a lot noisier that I expected, and the lessons are short and expensive, especially with two or three flights each lesson. #1 rule I remember after getting released "find the airport and turn toward it". Good advice since a lot of tows took us over the ocean. Maybe if I got to do long cross countries it would be cool.

[@J18Flyer]

Yeah well soaring is something really hard to get into sim engine as thermals and wind conditions are very hard to simulate. This year we have a student who just turned 70 and is starting with the training. He has green light on medical checkup so I mean why not 🙂

[@arturoeugster7228]

front seater: you keep on skidding to the left, correct with left rudder to center the yaw string. And instructor : make a full turn spin, to gauge your recovery heading lead, very important in acrobatics, where precision counts.

[@erikisberg3886]

Nice spin practice, exit on course! Flew basic aerobatics in a similar Blanik L13 at Boeing glider club way back in the mid 1970:s ... Sadly most of these are now grounded due to wing spar fatigue as I understand it.

[@J18Flyer]

Yep sadly they are. Our aeroclub have 2 L 13 grounded because rebuild to meet the safety requirements is too expensive. There was an accident in Austria I believe and there they found out that L 13 has a design flaw ... as I understood it it´s not dangerous for the normal flying regime but in aerobatics there´s a risk of structural failure of the wing spar and loosing the wing.

[@harrothepilot]

@@J18Flyer I learnt to fly gliders in an L13 also, great memories. I think the L13 you refer to, was very heavily aerobatted, and ultimately lost its wings in flight prior to just 900hrs tt. We used to pay particular attention to those large ‘ carry through ‘ rivets and what we could see of the main spar pre flight, but I suspect that was more for our peace of mind before flight, rather than picking up on a fault. I do remember the rivets would get a greyish ‘ paste ‘ ( which i used to think was aluminium fragments and dirt and moisture mixed ) between the rivet head and what it was fastening together. Still, it was a good basic aeronautical grounding. Cheers

Great flight, I used to fly a lot, including hang glider. Keep your observation levels up though. Look around more before you turn. Enjoyed the vid.

[@eracer1111]

Help me understand what happens to the tow rope when released. I would have thought it releases from the sailplane, and the tow plane winches it back in. But I see it drop away from the tow plane instead. Is there some sort of spring-loaded winch inside the sailplane that automatically retracts it? It doesn't release from both aircraft and just drop to the ground, does it?

[@J18Flyer]

Well tow rope is just a "regular" rope with eyes on each side ... simply said. They are little bit elastic to absorb some of the sudden pulls. It wasn´t actually detached from both planes as it looks like on a video. It´s optical illusion made by contraction of a rope after releasing from the glider. Tow rope is staying attached to the tow plane which descends and before landing it drops the rope on a ground so it won´t interfere with something during landing. On some airfields they even land with rope attached to the tow plane if there are no obsticles ... but here in Olomouc we have a highway on one side and forest with the metal fence on the other side.

[@RichardOutdoors]

I’m sorry, but you were nowhere near either 60 or 70 degrees nose up. Maximum of 45.

[@michaelrussell5346]

The tow rope has a similar release system to the glider and can drop the rope when required. If the airstrip is suitably safe to land with rope attached ,i.e. no people or objects below the approach and a suitable runway surface that does not harm the rope by chafing such as grass. The tow plane can, in an emergency, release the rope while towing a glider. This could be due to engine failure or, the glider not becoming airborne during take off and placing the tow plane in danger . It can also in rare instances, drop the rope when towing a glider and having the glider appear to lose control and drift out of station putting both aircraft in danger of collision. It has been many years since I flew gliders and I have no knowledge of tug planes with winches to wind in the rope after release, but I doubt that they would be acceptable because there would be no practical way to dump the rope from the tug.

Určitě opraš sám jsem zvědavý jestli je v MSFS nějak nasimulovaná termika nebo jde vyloženě o klouzání ... každopádně bych to rád viděl. Snad brzy zase polétáme nějak se mi nedaří se k simulátorům teď přes léto dostat. Taky se měj hezky a snad brzy ve vzduchu! Ať to lítá! S!

Mám pocit že si při úkonech prohodil pásy a řízení, ale jinak super video.

[@J18Flyer]

Jo jak jsem na to pak koukal taky mi to došlo. Hlavně, že se na nic nezapomnělo. Vím že jak jsem se to učil snažil jsem si zapamatovat, že to jde postupně všechno po kokpitu zleva doprava a k sobě. Díky.

[@vasikmadl1751]

@@J18Flyer v pohodeee, mně to taky trvalo😆

[@jansvoboda9520]

hezký , parádní záběry, .... škoda horizontu nakřivo , chtělo to dát kameru rovně😉

[@J18Flyer]

Jo no ono spíš výjimečně se to podaří dát tak že to je opravdu rovně. Dělal jsem pak ještě pár záběrů v Šumperku, ale ty byly tak mimo, že jsem je tady ani nedával. Je třeba aby před letem někdo zkontroloval jak to snímá a to se dost blbě dělá pokud už člověk nesedí přímo v kokpitu kdy už na to moc není čas. Už jsem aspoň vychytal ke konci sezóny jak to dávat horizontálně rovně, ale ten sklon to je vždycky odhad. Spíš mám s GoPro 11 jiný problém, a to že se v kokpitu strašně rychle přehřeje a po nějakých 20 minutách automaticky vypne.

[@mark46ification]

Pekne video so super komentarom instruktorky...inak skus sa trochu uvolnit...strasne krcovito drzis ten knipel...chvilami som mal dojem ze ho v tej ruke rozmackas...inak super

[@MonostripeZebra]

Klasse

[@MemoWardwell]

I love gliding, but CHECK OUT THAT TOW PLANE !! Talk about get there fast !

[@Juschius]

Oh good old times... get why plane released tow rope though ?

[@J18Flyer]

It didn´t it just looks like that but rope was still attached to the tow plane.

[@No.10_SopwithMan]

I want to see a camel next 😄

[@J18Flyer]

Well me doing spins with Camel would be most probably my last video 😂

[@markr8904]

The pilot raises his head during the stall and we can not see him pushing the stick forward.It would have been interesting to see that part of it.

[@DdDd-ss3ms]

Enjoyed watching... only didn't understand the decoupling. It looks as if the tug plan decouples the cable

[@1FreeSelfGoverningAmericanMan]

Am I see this correctly? You pulled the release and the tow line disconnected from the tug?!

[@davidj.9587]

I went up a few times at South Cerny nr Cirencester with 1244 Air cadets, in the late 70s, little then did in know I would pas by in my car on my commute daily, now.

[@FLHTdriver]

Just a stupid comment but if I remember correctly you need to be in a stall to enter a spin, or have things changed?

[@Fractalite]

I was watching the ASI - the second one was a pilot induced spiral dive .

[@rogerturner5504]

Would it not be normal to do a test of the Ottfur release each launch?

[@J18Flyer]

I mean it´s basically done by attaching the rope. If it would be faulty you woudn´t be able to pull that in a first place. So pulling the rope after attachement is sufficient just to know that it won´t detach during tow.

[@rogerturner5504]

You have to test back-release of the Ottfur release in case of overflying the tow. Don't forget winch launching.

[@master.sporcu]

@J18Flyer I just want to know why the towplane released the rope too?🤔 And the rope fall from sky to whos head? 🤔

[@EneriGiilaan]

It indeed looks strange. Had to look with the highest resolution and and slow speed - to me it seems that the rope actually remains attached to the tow plane after all. The way the rope behaves after the release looks quite unfamiliar to me - almost like a rubber band released from one end -- perhaps they use more elastic rope than what we use at our club?

[@arkiefyler]

Am I losing my sight or do sailplanes mount altimeters differently? In other words, why does the altimeter scale have zero at the bottom instead of the top? I started flying in 1968, commercial till 2004.

[@user3141592635]

A spin with a metallic Vlaic was also a funny thing.

[@johns.r.lawrence9287]

Very nice except that before you attempt spins or stalls you need to visually verify that the area is clear of traffic. Keep your head on a swivel and look around to be absolutely sure the airspace is clear.

[@pisgas2008]

Great ! But, just confirm ... you reported base leg wwhen on downwind, confirm ?

[@outlander-x]

nice!

[@hamikhamik1266]

Nice
