Spinning My Glider (Jesus Christ)
มุมมอง 17Kปีที่แล้ว
I seem so surprised because I was previously unable to get the DG-300 to spin like this. It doesn't really want to spin, but if you kick the rudder at the right time... 00:00 Uno 00:25 Dos

how do you mount your camera to the glider?

Is it only legal to fly into IMC, or bust the minimums if you are in a glider? so confused.
im unfamiliar with this type of flying, but are you allowed to fly into IMC in a glider?
1:39 There's an older FI at my club (bit of a legend really) and I've flown with him like 3 times and one time in the K13 I did the launch and he said "and now raise your hands and clap for me!". I was pretty confused for a few seconds until I realized he wanted to see if I trimmed the aircraft correctly ^^
It was all going smoothly until he met someone else flying the convergence going in the opposite direction ...
I like the footage with hail off to the side, it really puts the airspeed in perspective.
Whats that??? Artificial horizon instrument etc..looks a good (expensive ) piece of kit ..thank you for uploading .... subscribed ...from student at hinton in the hedges ... oh if the thunder dont catch you then the lightning will , ( circa ..the grateful dead ..about 1972 aprox ..) From the hymn 'the wheel ' 😊🎉🎉 ....😊😊..
Probably an LXNAV S80 or S100.
All your videos I have seen so far are hilarious. Subscribed!
Close call mate!⚡️😉
Are you allowed to fly IFR in a glider in your country?
Cloud flying is legal for gliders in the UK. Wearing a parachute is mandatory and you should have a cloud flying endorsement.
Ohhhhh what's that instrument ..an artificial horizon !!!! WOW..thanks for upload ..from student in Hinton in the hedges .
Bumpy as ffffffff
😂
I never understand why you are not using knot when i am flying every thermall is bless for me and i use it
If you do cross country you need to skip the weaker thermals, they really eat into your XC speed. But if you overdo it you land out. In perfect 20/20 hindsight he should've used it.
There's *always* lift on the base leg. Science fact.
Yeah it's uncanny. Or when you're too low to try and circle. My favorite one was where my FI wanted to do an exercise with me that needed some height (can't recall what exercise) and then we got no lift and he decided to do a low approach exercise instead. He got us down to 70m when the vario started beeping suddenly.
Thanks for these. A burst of nostalgia for the good old days of the past in my speed astir.
"He's gaining on us" "I'm scared" "Come on Ned, move this thing" "I can't, I got no flaps"
The only sound I crave 🤤
Noticed that your yaw strings are *always* off to the right. Are they off center or do you have a heavy right foot or ...?
Also noticed - either heavy right food or rudder & pedals aren't quite aligned, need to check
@@JamesAlexanderGliding Only looks that way because camera itself is to left of center.
Woow 😅 always happy landings from Aeroclub Bexbach ❤ EDRX
Why two Strings?
Good cideo apart from the interference, WHY!! Yes areotow myself still learning that , spinning , great fun indeed , and soaring again great fun , learning at hinton in the hedges qt presant 😊😊😊😊 .... areotow ,effing how to do that ??? Allways over control on stick !? 😢.. i get the reality but not the actuality of input ..ha ha .. thanks for a good short video , apart from interference er ffs WHY ..
Damm irritating noise called , well yes noise , called musick in first half of video ... the rest o.k. apart from no can not watch this with all the craP inserted ....
ok boomer
Do you ever hear voices in your head ?
In 1300ft, replys with "Roger thank you very much" in such a nice tonality. So British 😂 I'd be barking on the radio or mutter a quick understood.
Well done! Congrats.
Which one are we judging...
get good
You actually managed to land at an airport of sorts (strategic fumble #2), that wasn't an easy approach but thanks for sharing the video
It's a glider
Did you pull the stick back on touch down?
That's probably the reason
Skids along nicely without the wheel
Awesome flying, congrats and well done! Must have been knackered with dead legs by the time you landed!
the lesson is always the same: leaving the last climb was a mistake :D
Thank you .... learning to fly at hinton myself ....20 lessons so far ..... 1st clip ..clouds looked good for thermals , get up there , get up there !!! Oh have done a little thermalling , great fun ❤❤... good luck for future ... will get solo next summer ... the 😊😊...
Why do the landings sound like you are slamming the plane into the ground at mach 3
Bad decisions are not great, but what’s even worse is being rewarded for bad decisions. Land outs are part of the game. Looks like you are doing all the right things.
Speed is life!!!!
The trees on the approach on number 2 looked spooky!
The pub was closed lol :D I once had tail landing with std cirrus (tower at least said it was), the bloody thing bounced so much, that suddenly I was at about 20 degree dive from 0.5 meter height. The impact pushed my whole weight to front, so I was pushing on the stick and the angle increased even more. I almost shit myself, but the plane was fine. Shortest landing ever probably.
Anyone else get to the third field before the anxiety started to fade...?
Nice dual yaw strings. Almost hard to believe you needed fields at all with that secret weapon
Still like 200 strings too few. A certain pro would know better, wouldn't he? :)
🤣
epic fail
Oh my God that's insane
That's crazy. I've actually seen water fall inside the canopy. I opened my sealed metal water bottle after climbing 6,000 feet and it turned into a fountain drenching me 😂
Amazing flight but just wondering what app you are using on your phone?
Now we see how essential the stopwatch on the panel is.
congrats, nice one. i remember my first 500k, definitely was a big milestone btw; either your yawstrings aren't perfectly aligned or you're always pushing a little right rudder, at least thats what it looks like 😅 but dont worry i do that a lot too, maybe my right leg is just longer lol
How did you attach the GoPro to the wing?
@@dpm6000 enormous suction cup
Great flight! Good job on your 1st 500km and good luck for the next ones.
