Nice flight, good job Buddy. What a feeling!

How does it work when the student is more advanced? In powered flight and in glider training, my instructors had me handling the aircraft, radio, etc. most of the time. Is the same true in tandem HG instruction?

The smile on your face tells about someone 's joy when achieving a dream

Good learning curve and so fun! The LMFP hills are a delight (and a good workout)

nice! Tim is an excellent instructor and he was one of the people that taught me the zero degree turn (you'll need it when you start ridge soaring). Also aerotowing gets you used to the speed your glider can go and how to make a good DBF with speed when you start to fly more turbulent conditions (instead of floating in at trim the entire final) so you can properly feel ground effect for your flare. Excellent job and I hope you remember the box pattern! You'll need it when you solo off the mountain!

I love aerotow. I can tell by the smile that you are hooked. We hang and we glide, it's what we do.

Steve would be very proud!

Have you become a jellyfish? Hangies forever!!!!!

Adam is up there too. Cool!

Ralph, Bear and Marcus…you are all doing so well. I’ve really enjoyed watching you fly.

I’ll say hi if I see yea on the SS, what’s your name?

You picked it up so quickly.

So good to see you sticking with it. Enjoy the journey. The journey to high solo flights was such an amazing time for me. Every flight was an accomplishment, every landing a victory.

Awesome!! Looks like a fun adventure. I hope to begin that adventure myself before the end of the year. Sure enjoy watching your progress. Keep up the great work!!

I love watching .

We learn from our mistakes, the trick is keeping those mistakes minor as demonstrated when you got a bit off track. Learning is a very narrow window but eventually, and when you're ready, the world of soaring like a bird expands far and wide. You're doing it the right way - low and slow. Congrats.

It was better with the camera behind you like your previous videos. Keep em coming, love watching the journey

Looking good.

Someone told me to "punch" the flare. That word worked for me. Push out and up like you mean it. I'm not an instructor so take it for what it is, internet advice.

Subscribed and watching. I'm looking forward to watching you progress. I learned by aerotow and really like the scooter tow thing. I just spent my first summer out gliding around the southwest. Welcome to the addiction, I hope to see you out in the southwest sometime. Blue Sky is on my list. I gotta get a scooter tow rating.

Hey, I landed on my feet on my first try............ Then not again until my 5th try. Lol

Keep tge vids coming, it's great to see peoples journey, i should have started myself by now but i don't know if I'm being let down or just the weather has been bad

I've been at it for 3 years now. It has been such an amazing journey.

Nice learning routine, very soothing to watch ) learning to hglide and the first air was maybe the best time in my life

Here is where?

Lookin great so far! You might be a natural...tell Steve Buddy said hi and I will see him when aerotowing season ends at Cotton Gin...

Keep at it! We've all been there. Landing actually gets easier once Steve lets you get higher up, because you can pull in for speed and get a proper round out prior to trim and flare. At that low and slow altitude (which is appropriate for now because your current goal is to learn to steer and to control pitch) you're basically flying almost at trim speed and by the time the line stops pulling you're almost immediately at stall speed, and flaring when the glider is already stalled is hard because the nose wants to point down for stall recovery. What you should do is really throw that glider behind you fast and hard with the nose pointed straight to the sky so you can to turn it into a giant air brake. That will stop your forward momentum. When you flare the glider aim to plant that keel into the ground behind you. You got the best school and the best instructor in the East Coast right there in Manquin.

I liked the camera behind you on flight 5 and 6 and 7. Music is a great addition. ❤
