Sehr schönes Video mit super Aufnahmen. Wie hoch muss man sich da ungefähr schleppen lassen bis man den Einstieg in die Welle schafft?

[@GSoffers]

Nice! how did you filmed the cockpit from outside?

[@JPK90]

How to stay warm in cabin when outside is -32? I bet you need to circulate air to keep canopy clear of ice

[@BMidgard]

Hej, We use several different layers of clothing. The products of Woolpower are very good, see www.woolpower.de/produktuebe rv ie w / category / middle -layer defendant is eidung.html important that the body is warm. Then the hands and feets also stay warm ! Insert between the socks and shoes rescue cover with aluminum side inward. A report is stored here , but only in German : www.schwerewelle.de/berichte /2013/kebnekaise-24-03-04.04/erlebn is-bericht-kebnekaise-wave-camp/view For us it has worked well, greeting Björn

I made a special bracket, look at the Facebook page of LSG Bottenhorn, album "Kiruna 2013 - Segelfliegen am Polarkreis".

[@BMidgard]

In der Regel reichen 1000 m bis 1500 m über Grund aus.

[@skimbo72]

On your climb gadget it says 5m/s - is that 5 metres a second?!

[@BMidgard]

Yes, 5 m/s, very nice lift :-)

[@skimbo72]

BMidgard wow! Like a rocket 👍

[@calypsoairfpv8655]

wow using oxygen masks. how high at the max altitude were you cruising at?

[@BMidgard]

+Calypso Air Hej, the max altitude was 7.200 MSL. We used the EDS OSD2 with standard cannules and a modified Facemask to reduce the moisture in the cockpit.

[@Leeroy173]

why did you leave the gear down with viktor?

[@BMidgard]

The first reason is the gas spring was broken. This retract the landing gear was very heavy. The second reason would be if the ice will melt superficially the chassis wet. This may freeze and you can not extend. Sorry for the late reply.

[@Leeroy173]

BMidgard ok.. thanks

[@PrezesOSW]

What cameras have you used?

[@BMidgard]

+gliding4ever I used two GoPro's Hero 2 and a HD Camcorder from Canon.
