Thank you! I can tell that this is never going to get old. In a way, every flight feels like my very first, and I just fall deeper and deeper in love.....
I'm a private pilot. I soloed at Birchwood Alaska in 1991. . There is nothing that can compare to being in that Cessna and all by myself. Thank you Charoilet. You were the best flight instructor ever.😊
Pvt pilot (Cessna 150s, 172s and 182s) and HG pilot (Crappy old rogallo) back in the early 70s. Honest to god, you haven't flown till you've done hang gliding. Put it on your bucket list.
I remember my first flight off GREENHILL NOVA SCOTIA back in 1976.700 ft asl ,BUT it was such a new thing got my pic. In the local paper.15 minutes of fame.
Nicely done! From a paraglider pilot the thrill just keeps getting better, you’ll get your first thermal, then eventually you’ll get your first XC flight, it just keeps getting more amazing. Enjoy the journey and safe landings!!
I so remember my first Mt flight at lookout over 35 years ago. I still fly and my Swift should be delivered in a week or so. It will let me fly more often since it is motorized. Wish you many years of happiness flying
I used to build the Swift foot lunchable plane over here in Santa Rosa with Brian Robbins we built about 35 of them before he decided to sell it to the German company
I'll never forget leaning right and watching the horizon bank to the left. Hoping that i could get it to level back out! Funny how the whole experience seems normal to me now. Congratulations to you for having the courage to set up the glider , let alone jumping off a mountain! I hope to fly with you one day, my sky sister. Cheers!!
Great flight ! Have over 2000+hours with hundreds of tows and countless comps and still feel excited about flying as you do. Your techniques and skills will develop as you gain experience.
Thank you!! I haven't had a lot of opportunities for altitude flying since this summer, but I've kept current and improved my techniques by flying on a training hill and scooter towing at closer sites. Hoping to get to the next level this year and join the sky party! :D
That was incredible! I have a pretty bad fear of heights, I even backed out of a booked tandem.. it’s the only thing stopping me from learning hang gliding, it’s a pain
Hey Josh! You need to do this! I hear lots of HG pilots have fear of heights, but are ok with hang gliding. If you start on the training hill, height isn't really an issue, and you can work your way up the hill slowly.
@@yoshidragonaga do you think it’s better I do the course and get my confidence first? The tandem flights are really high altitude, maybe it’s better I just start the course first - what do you think?
@@Josytt That's a good plan. You can learn to fly first, and then maybe do a tandem before your first mountain flight. I didn't do a tandem before my mountain flight, so it can be done! Are you close to Lookout Mountain Flight Park in GA?
@@yoshidragonaga I’m actually based in Australia! But I do have somewhere close by :) I think I’ll do the 9 day course and build my confidence, I definitely would be comfortable with small hills and slopes to start!
@@Josytt Australia!!! What an amazing country to be able to fly!!! Yes, start where you are comfortable, and find a good instructor. Once you KNOW how to fly and to trust the glider, the height may not even be an issue. Please keep me updated on your journey!!
Hang in there. I started flying in 1973, 4 decades of flight. I am 70 years old and chose to hang it up as My physical and mental condition made me make the choice of ending my flying adventures. Never had a bad landing, never had an injury, not even a scratch nor a damaged a glider. I hope you have similar experience with longer flights and going cross country and getting high in them thermals. Listen to those with more experience. If they suggest that conditions are not suitable for safe flight, pack it up and wait for a better day. Best to you. @@yoshidragonaga
Isn't this hilarious? Those first two flights were terrible! I felt like I didn't have good control of the glider and was fighting to fly every step of the way! My first is on my channel too. This one just has more views.
@@yoshidragonagaI have a few questions. Did you rent equipment for your first flights and do you still rent or did you buy your own and how much ball park did you own cost? Also it’s funny you still fly look out mountain I live in the area I’m still excited but nervous looking into it. My fear is trusting equipment with my life I’m afraid of heights if I don’t trust something besides my own mistake
@@adambell1997 Yes, Lookout Mountain Flight Park has a training package that includes a glider rental. I bought my own soon after finishing the program, and I now own two gliders. I bought them used, so only paid about $2000-$2500 each. It's understandable that you don't trust the equipment yet. You will do many flights on the training hill at low altitude (flat ground-50ft-100ft) before you take off the mountain (1350ft), so you will learn to trust the equipment as well as your own technique. Lookout is so wonderful! The community is what keeps me going back. I was there for the last two weekends, despite the fact it takes me 6 hours each way.
Second landing was even better than the first! Well judged for your approach. I noticed you tend to over correct a little coming out of the turns sometimes resulting in a little bit of roll to the opposite side. This will get easier with practice, but the important thing is that you are all over it and immediately correct it. And when it comes to the actual landing, you have it bang on level. I've seen (and done) far worse. Looks like your instructors are really doing a great job with you. Are you on radio during the flight?
I was so much more relaxed on this flight than the first! Yes, I definitely need to work on my turns. I think I'm leaning into the turns rather than bumping my weight over? No, I was not on radio during the flight.
@@yoshidragonaga you seemed to do the turns just fine, but it was just when you came out of them sometimes you overcompensated a bit, resulting in turning the other way. But you immediately corrected it. This is THE most important thing - making the glider what YOU want it to do and being quick to react to it, which you appear to be. That fine tuning will come with practice. Looks like you're going great to me. And not being on radio - wow! I've seen a lot of first high flights on radio. I was on radio for my first high flight. My instructor was saying... what are you doing... what are you doing... Turn into wind NOW! As I inadvertently soared over the back of the hill and landed on the top!
LMFP good place. Back in the day, forgot what year possibly 2005ish, I did a weeks class there. The concrete launch point was being updated. Steel framing went off the edge in that curved fashion you can see in the video. There a handful of guys that I barely knew and myself stood in that steel support framing and screwed in plywood, eventually coving the entire steel support framing from top to bottom, left to right, before shotcrete or gunite people showed up to concrete the downward curved launch ramp. We had some beers at the clubhouse later that night. Haven’t been back, married with three kids now, haven’t flown since. Just too damn busy. On windy days up there we couldn’t train, thankfully I trailered my motorcycle up there and rode it through cloudland canyon during down time. Good times were had.
@@yoshidragonaga Yup I know it. I said I hadn’t been back earlier but that’s not true I guess. I took the family to Chattanooga and we drove up to the top of Lookout Mountain to check out the cannons and stuff. Then we drove down Scenic Hwy 189 and drove past the launch point. We stopped and got out, showed them the ramp and all that. Would have like to had gone off it on a solo but winds were so high all week. Got to do a tandem with an instructor pulled into the air by a tow aircraft from the landing zone. I stayed in that wing shaped bunkhouse place with the big deck overlooking the LZ. Took a couple instructors out to dinner a couple times for some extra training time trying to get everything in. The winds just too dang high that week to really finish everything.
Maybe it's the stripes on the pants, but there are time where this looks VERY Computer generated or green screen !. Maybe it's the lighting on the shoulders ?? Cool just the same.
Finally ..... someone on youtube knows how to hang gliding without NO fancy roll & stunts ! People's today are absolutely insane ! They have to destroyed something and kill themselves & other just to call it having fun ! Absolutely insane ! Good job boss !
Looks like a blast! So it only takes 3 to 4 minutes from launch to land? Im doing the 3000' tandem next month there. Any advice? 2 weeks ago, I jumped from 10,500' tandem skydive, which I have no words to describe. I only hope I will be as thrilled hang gliding✌🏼
This was my second solo flight ever, so I didn't soar. These days, my flights are typically much longer :) The height from the mountain top to the landing zone is 1350' here, so your 3000' tandem flight will be longer. You will also be getting towed up by an ultralight plane, which will probably take another 10 minutes or so. Hang gliding can be so peaceful. It's a totally different experience from sky diving. You are FLYING and not FALLING. Enjoy your flight!!!
Tandem is a good way to get in, but not obligatory. You start under instruction on a mellow grass slope, the bunny hill, and then go stepwize higher...
Everywhere! Some people live on site, some people live in the area/Chattanooga. I drive 7 hours to get there, and I have a friend who flies in from Colorado.
I'm just doing what my instructor tells me to do, and he hasn't told me to move my hands to the base bar yet..... This one was only my second flight - at Lookout, they make you do the first three on uprights, but I've already done 7 by now and I'm still on uprights. Not sure why. Probably should ask!
@@yoshidragonaga Base bar gives you more roll authority, but they keep you on downtubes to reduce the tendency to cross control :) Don't worry, there's no rush to move to basetube! As for your turns, Darren is right in that you're tending to overturn slightly which is leading to a slight PIO-ish behavior. Less is more here, so small, precise weight shifts will help you reduce that tendency. Good job!
@@sethjenkins1135 Thanks, Seth! My turns have gotten much smoother since then! And I started learning to transition to the base tube on my last scooter tow lesson at Blue Sky Hang Gliding! You are right. I'm not in a rush - just enjoying the learning process :)
Doing GREAT Mie!!!!!!! Awesome flights. You are still flying upright, so you must still be a student. Early H2. I'm at the top of H2 going for H3 soon on my Sport 2 175. You are looking really good. I'm sure you'll be one of the better pilots out there very soon. You already are this early in your game. I am impressed. That's easy to do though. LOL Keep your speed up until you round out and slowly bleed it of to trim speed maintaining landing altitude, then you have a better attitude for the flare. You are doing great though. Nice approach Nice take off. Good form. Just a little oversteering. You'll correct that soon though. You'll have to before going to double surface for sure.
Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words, Garry! It really means a lot to me. And great point about the faster speed at round out - I can't wait to do this again and do it better 😆
@@yoshidragonaga I am. Well, I’m training there but I’m not staying at site. I came out here for six weeks to knock that and my P2 out but so far weather hasn’t been good. Thus is aviation lol.
@@flyingheadband I hear you! I did it in 10 total days, but I started in June and I got really lucky with weather. This winter/spring has been tough for sure.
@@yoshidragonaga I’m chilling in Chattanooga till the beginning of July so I’ve got time. And when the winds are just too gusty for us students to train I can go fly a plane or skydive. But I’d prefer to keep gliding every day since I’ve got no muscle memory for the skills yet. I need to keep things fresh lol.
@@flyingheadband oh! You are already a pilot! And a sky diver! So cool! Well, I'm hoping to get out there for a weekend in June, so I look forward to meeting you then!
@@Beerbatter1962 it helps to have concentrated training, instead of spreading out your training sessions over longer periods. If you can take a month or more off, you'll most likely be flying high sooner than you think!
Guess that by now you're pretty hooked on one of the world's funniest adult games and to keep it fun for a while, here are two nice videos by Iris actually demonstrating how it's done properly. Die Drachenlandung - DHV Safety & Training (landing a hang-glider - German hang-gliding association safety & training) Die Landeeinteilung - DHV Safety & Training (approach to land procedure - German hang-gliding association safety & training) Activate subtitles and set to English translation, then you will get some very funny gibberish, but on the whole, you can understand what is being said
@@yoshidragonaga You're welcome! Until now you have not had the slightest idea how vast this new universe is that lies behind the door you just opened. Good approach and landing skills are probably the most important components in this voyage of discovery into the unknown. Have fun and happy landings.
@@redsock4843 for sure! I've spent 20 days on the training hill/scooter tow since then to continue to practice my launches and landings. Things are progressing nicely :)

The height from the mountain top to the landing zone is 1350' here, so your 3000' tandem flight will be longer. You will also be getting towed up by an ultralight plane, which will probably take another 10 minutes or so.

Very nice , can a hand glider pilot will be able to fly microlight trike ? as the controls are same
Yes, hang gliding pilots can fly a trike with some training. I think it's a matter of individual preference which wing people choose to fly.
Good Job!
Brava
Can one start off solo or do you have to go tandem at first?
Tandem is a good way to get in, but not obligatory. You start under instruction on a mellow grass slope, the bunny hill, and then go stepwize higher...

@@Beerbatter1962 it helps to have concentrated training, instead of spreading out your training sessions over longer periods. If you can take a month or more off, you'll most likely be flying high sooner than you think!
@@yoshidragonaga for sure. I tend to be a fast learner, so I definitely would want to focus my time. Cheers to a lot more wind in your sail.
@@Beerbatter1962 come hang out (pun intended) at Lookout if you are nearby!
Is that lookout mountain?
It sure is!
@@yoshidragonaga Awesome! I did a couple of tandems there a few months ago. 😁
Come on back and learn to fly!
@@yoshidragonaga Moved to Utah. Gonna finish my Hang 2 out here.
Nice! That's a better spot for hang gliding!!!
😊
Guess that by now you're pretty hooked on one of the world's funniest adult games and to keep it fun for a while, here are two nice videos by Iris actually demonstrating how it's done properly.
Die Drachenlandung - DHV Safety & Training (landing a hang-glider - German hang-gliding association safety & training)
Die Landeeinteilung - DHV Safety & Training (approach to land procedure - German hang-gliding association safety & training)
Activate subtitles and set to English translation, then you will get some very funny gibberish, but on the whole, you can understand what is being said
Hi! Yes, it's quite addicting and I'm so excited to have found something so amazing in my adult life! Thank you for the video suggestions :)
@@yoshidragonaga You're welcome! Until now you have not had the slightest idea how vast this new universe is that lies behind the door you just opened. Good approach and landing skills are probably the most important components in this voyage of discovery into the unknown. Have fun and happy landings.
@@redsock4843 for sure! I've spent 20 days on the training hill/scooter tow since then to continue to practice my launches and landings. Things are progressing nicely :)
i keep getting hyptnotised
That isn't flying. Thats falling with style.
pilotos de parapente asa delta pelo amor de Deus será que tem como vocês usar paraquedas não atrapalha em nada pelo contrário ajuda e muito
You look way too low in the control frame. Really limits fine control movements.
Thanks for the feedback! You are right - will def hang a little higher next time :)
They’re just trying to make money at Lookout.
Show litle bird !!!!
Engraçado que ela vai pendurada, não estica o corpo kkkkk
вместо того чтобы рожать...
Whoops....I can't believe I'm DYING!
We are all dying, but I choose to live in the process :)
your not flying you are falling.
I hope it made you very happy to go out of your way to make this comment.
Simulation, fake 🤥
You should check out all my other fake simulated flights ;) OR you should look for a hang gliding school near you and try it out!
Well done!
Great flight
