[@ashleymuir1046]

Beautiful gliders and a lovely spot to fly.

[@MachTuck]

Looks like a great place! Very nice flight as well!

[@Schleppseilwinde]

cool! Great spot and nice flying with a scale model glider. Would like to be there once.

[@OctoberWraith-gg4pe]

We are of the sky, and the sky takes us back..✌️

[@guamflyer1]

Just Beautiful ...I Enjoyed it very much..Thank You..

[@cloudyifr]

Pure Grace! I liked the heli hovering over the water at the 12:01 mark.

[@brianmcerlean7954]

One for the glider boys, quite relaxed flying.

[@danielburke6536]

Nothing like a scale glider just cruising majestically through the air.

[@alanaldpal950]

Well, I would suggest there is something better…. Actually flying IN a FULL scale glider 🙃

[@bradgray8064]

Beautiful. Just stunning glider and place to fly it.

[@brunoadriao1280]

Thank you Cesar.

At first, I thought this was a full size manned sailplane. I know the are banned for most of the year, especially during the summer. Where are the hang gliders? Looks like you have the place to yourself.

[@sdmoller]

Actually I'm not sure they are banned. I think its more the insurance issue and the expense of getting the waiver to have the aerotow or cable tow event there. We have a couple full scale sailplanes (motorized) that will come in and fly along the cliff side now and the . We have to keep an eye out for them as they are so quiet when they come by. But they sure are pretty to see flying past us.

[@williesforeal9979]

Love the music buddy

[@squashum778]

Very similar to what paragliding pilots do .😊

[@Shaunspeed]

Nice one Thomas, always enjoy your videos. Cheers from Down Under.

[@sdmoller]

Thanks Shaun :-)

[@frankskorupa165]

...it took me at least a couple of minutes to realize, that this is a RC Glider 😂😂😂 ...guessing it would be a great idea to ask the "glider port" for hostage i searched the Internet... but there is no glider club for gliders...😂. Could be no greater honor for a RC Pilot...perfect illusion

[@sdmoller]

Torrey Pines Gliderport is and started as a full scale Gliderport. They don’t fly full scale here much any more. I think the main reason is insurance costs is too high, second there have quite a few buildings going up around the space making it only possible to land straight in (downwind). I’ve seen the full scale fly here back in the 1980’s

[@KATAERO1]

Thank you very much for the VDO! Use to fly scale gliders there a lot until 2016 when I left the US for Thailand in order to answer God's calling to become a missionary to Thailand. God bless...

[@12345fowler]

Buddha Bar YES !! I fly there with Aerofly RC8 seems quite like the original. Where is it anyhow, Calif ?

[@sdmoller]

Yes it's in San Diego, California. 32.89068735354955, -117.25170104842357

[@Paiadakine]

Bring back the onshore breezes Thomas!

[@sdmoller]

I'll do the "onshore breeze dance" again

[@Vasilmgn]

Hey guys, how much is the span?

[@sdmoller]

The LET Model DG-1000 is 5.3m and 4.8m with the short tips

[@Vasilmgn]

@@sdmoller What technology are used to make the wings?

[@sdmoller]

@@Vasilmgn the sailplanes comes already constructed in all fiberglass and carbon fiber. All one has to do is install the electronics.

[@SkyandCameraFly]

With a more scale like cockpit, no one would see that it is a RC glider...invest in a pilot and a copilot puppet, man..
