Classic Glider Flight - The Ultimate Freedom
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2016
- Flying the classic Schulgleiter 'SG' 38 in Eutingen im Gäu "EDTE".
We present it there once a year for the "Mobile Legenden" classics Festival & Airshow. It's an absolute pure feeling of gliding compared to modern gliders. Flying long distances/ cross country for me is a challenge and I love it, but with the SG38 its a short but awesome time to enjoy.
Reasons why I flew with the suit is cause I came back to the airport after grandmas birthday and decided to fly it dressed like I am - plus a cylinder. The lion of my little sister was obviously hungry for a ride too so I took him with me.
A big thank you to all the people around helping me and my dad aero towing me up.
Everything filmed with GoPro Hero 4 black & silver.
I usually use the settings 1080S with 30fps or higher. Wide just in one clip I had it accidentally on narrow.

I can say with 100% confidence that I would not have this level of chill if I was thousands of feet high on a piece of wood.
I find that endless people who showcase a total lack of height fright whatsoever somehow don't belong to human race.
I need to constantly remind myself just how strong wood is. I have an aluminum boat and a fiberglass boat, but both motor mounts are wooden. Wood is amazing... incredibly strong yet flexible. Alternate grain directions and you can make anything.
@@anonymoose1898
Depends what sort of wood you are talking about, wood varies in strengths and densities.
wood-sticks are used for lifting and moving several tons heavy machinery.
Bamboo scaffolding speaks for itself too
Riding bare foot through the sky with nothing but a piece of wood between your legs... That's how witches must have felt...
sometimes i have wood between my legs.. but i am not flying..
Pillar and stones alike
They felt something else too
@@massinakmin8340 haha!
You know why witches never wore underwear while flying their brooms?
Better grip!
So... how many shoes did you lose before you decided to just do without them?
Apparently more than the hats he's lost
Imagine crashing with no shoes, OUCH
How many
the Answer is "Yes" ;D
😂😂😂😂
The wind in your toes must felt like heaven.
As a motorbike driver ... have you ever put your hand out of a car with 100+ kmh? even if its 30°C+ outside, its really cold.
and then NEVER GET HIT by even a small insect at that speed. hurts as if someone shoots with a airsoft gun :D
Just like when you fart. Heavenly experience
@@julievrhackzor ayyyyyy
When you're so violently hipster that you fly barefoot but with a tophat.
Hahaha... Love this comment!! ❤ I laughed so hard, I nearly spat out my double short, skinny, no foam, low fat, soy mochacino with kale and wheatgrass all over my smashed avocado on toasted sourdough.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@andrewneill9873 best reply to the best comment. made my night
@@1Deejay7 Thank you. 😊🙏
@Laurent Beaulieu Great to see you aren't hating or jealous
Their dads should be embarrassed for what they brought into the world.
For those with the balls to fly like that; it *does* look like the ultimate freedom. Always always ALWAYS check your cables, and do your entire preflight. Barefoot flying out front, no windscreen...(*sigh*) wow. Just amazing.
The Schulgleiter glider does look steampunk, varnished wood and even instrument column. Very unique,
I flew in a modern confined glider and it wasn't comfortable like that model looks.
Those are the coolest gliders I've ever seen. I want one. I love low tech/high effectiveness. Looks sturdy to me. I trust wood more than aluminum. Great video, guys.
At least you're wearing a teddy bear as an airbag, that's good. Otherwise i would have called you insane.
Thats a lion, not bear
Super komentarz
The top hat is actually his crash helmet.
Just a little cushion for the fall
That is funny Michael!
That is as pure a form of flying as one can get.
Search for paramotor is maybe even more cool.
Wingsuit basejumping.
Yes it certainly is
From when Flying and Falling became same thing .
@tyvek05 Well, one could argue that freefalling isn't really flying.........and even with a wingsuit it is more akin to controlled falling.
Genuinely impressed that what looks like a very basic piece of equipment kept this guy's balls airborne.
Hahaha.. right? Was it mandatory to be barefoot , kind of gross
A display of faith, courage, adventure, bliss!
I love what you're doing... Its how I imagined being able to fly as a kid. You're literally living a dream. Just be careful. Check those cables every flight. Don't get too cocky. I don't want to be watching you on LiveLeak.
+Gunther Ultrabolt Novacrunch thanks for your comment! I really do love to fly that glider and I'm doing it with lots of respect and carefully made pre-checks.
Wow, amazing! I love this. I wish I had the balls to fly that little plane :) it looks so fun up there!
Oh and check the weather too!
"live leak" hahaha sorry, but I laughed

As a paragliding pilot, full respect to you my Brother. Keep the good times flowing!
Woow! Näher kann man wohl kaum an das Gefühl heran kommen das Flugpioniere wie Otto Lilienthal gefühlt haben müssen. Atemberaubende Bilder! 👍
I’m a pilot, I find this terrifying
I'm terrifying, and I find this pilot.
@@LordSandwichII hello terrifying how are u doing? xD
@@dreamz9162 Dad?
@@LordSandwichII Son!! It has been a while
I’m not a pilot, I find it terrifying
That is such a lovely looking glider. I have cut power on my ultralight many times and even glided down from 10,000 feet but this glider design looks so cool and must be such a joy to fly 🙂
Absolutley loved the vid....and the fredom of flying is exactly why I have flown hang gliders since 1977...and yes also why youtube is one fantastic source new and old flying freely
Now that is flight in it's purest form. Cheers from western Canada.
Look at his open cockpit !really hats off to your bravery and to your mind..
His hat actually does a great job at staying *on* ;-)
Wow, this is so awesome! Perfect soundtrack, great video with stick from above, rudder pedals, etc. Was mesmerized by the vantage point. I've flown ask 21, quick silver ultra lights, diamond aircraft. Would love to fly one of these. ..sweet! Thanks so much for posting
thank you so much for your nice comment ! :) i learned flying on a ask21 too ;)
@@PilotofAdventures You're welcome!
What a beautiful little aircraft! I love how you're so in the open and can see all around. Flying that must be the closest thing you can get to being a bird. Nice smooth landings too.
Nope the closest thing I'd being on a jetpack which is already invented
@@toboabegunde4306 Disagree, most closer of bird, is Base wingsuit, I fly everything except helicopter.
With wing suit, we take off like bird of prey, we fly at similar speed to them (not as good, far from it) and the most important is that we use our body for direction.
This aircraft look fun but it need a plane to pull him, so no réel freedom.
Those seatbelts were limiting his freedom though
As well as the plane that towed him. The money that both planes had cost. The price of the cameras. The location. The communication equipment to tell local airports where they were. Idk, seems kinda not free lol
Pep Aroni are you ****** dum b? You know what “freedom” means? It has nothing to do with the word “free” as for free stuff.
@@windshearahead7012 I think you're a little dumb for insulting my man Pep Aroni for just making a joke.
@@mercifulviper7912 no you're breathtaking.
@@DickShooter NO YOUR BREATHTAKING! ~ keanu reeves
My father flew one of these in 1943
He was 14
25-30 years later...he was directly responsible for helping man, land on the moon and helped creating the space shuttle
He had an amazing life
I even have an old pic of him and a sg38
Too bad I can't share them here
He had nads as big as bowling balls
R.I.P. dad
That's amazing, flying it back in the time it was the fist solo flight no double seater,. Much crazier than today....
Wanna send it me via mail, would be curious about your pictures.
You know you're doing something special when an airshow full of pilots all stop to watch YOU land.
the tow then gliding with no
sound must be very beautiful
parachutes only work above a
certain height anyway.
There is in fact a lot of sound, from the air rushing past, wires singing and wood creaking.
I love how he flew past those people on the road like "Hello peasants! Take a gander at my flying machine!"
As a sailplane pilot myself, I have watched many videos of pilots flying $100K gliders and was getting bored with it. This video is a pure delight -- the real joy of flying!
And for those of you that think the pilot is crazy: from what I can tell, the aircraft is well designed and constructed, albeit minimalist, and the pilot well trained. I think the biggest risk he faced was walking his glider back to park it (after landing) while barefoot, and getting his foot stung by a bee.
Hahaha brilliant :) thank you for your comment, pure joy😉
I don't think one of these is going to be cheap either, provided you can even find an owner of one of the handful that are still in existence who is willing to sell it to you.
The design is actually over 80 years old...
I almost died when i imagined being in his place in the open skies
That looks terrifying. Guy should be a steel worker with that love of heights.
W R I’m scared witless of heights but was a glider pilot for years. Rock climber too. Somehow, if I can reconcile that the safety systems are in place then I can convince myself it’s okay. But I still can’t walk to the edge of a sheer drop without my toes curling into the ground. Go figure.
@@richardhoulton4016, everybody has their strengths and weaknesses, and 🔹️everything boils down to a decision. I have been very afraid, yet have surprised myself by going forward.
I’m a glider pilot and I got the chance to be P2 on one of these gliders. I sat in front. I can tell you I’ve never been so frightened in my life and that 2 minute flight felt much, much longer!
I’ve got about 750-odd towed glider flights in my logbook, and watching that thing scared the hell out of me. Psychological crutch or not, I want some metal and fiberglass (or even doped fabric around me when I fly. :-O
I’m a glider pilot too and I did have flight on one of those “things”. You’re right it did scare the hell out of me. The longest 2 minutes ever!
The craziest ultimate adventure ever!!!
This is insane.
Wowww !!!
Yes, I get it ... classic glider ... the way flying ought to be ... total freedom in the air ... closest thing to flying purity! Trouble is, I'd simply scream and scream until I threw up!!!!!! That being said, it's simply breathtaking to see such freedom and joy in the air - from a camera held by the pilot.
Balls of steel. well done 👍
Heath, dont know how that thing stays up with such big balls
Heath more like: Balls of wood !
and with as big as they are and not having a basket under the seat, they need to be strong otherwise it'll hurt when he sits on them.
Heath no la. His balls made in China.
imabeapirate ha haaaaaaa
By the beauty of their landscape, you shall know them. Peace on Earth 🌍!
Good lord. Those men have balls of steel. I can’t even look below a 3 story veranda.
Well, that's not courage it's just an affinity for heights and flying when what you have is a phobia.
It's possible to overcome vertigo, you just have to force yourself, push out of that self imposed bubble you've put yourself in.
You must be a girl.
@Joe Devola
No, because there's no evidence at all that we are reincarnated or have past lives.
Everything we know or remember is stored in the brain, so when die that brain rots away.
So how, would your memories transfer to a new body if reincarnation were to be a real thing?
Better to go on the reasoned assumption that you only get one life, don't waste it believing there will be anything else, savour every moment like it's your last, because in reality, it is.
@Joe Devola
The reality we are living in, is 3 demensional though?
I'm not a cartoon character.
Certainement la plus belle vidéo que j'ai pu voir, charger d'émotion partagée.
This guy does literally everything i want to do in my life on his videos, i hope someday i have the opportunity
Thank you! Just visit a airfield and go for a passengee ride in a glider. It's awesome;)
Someday, will never get here... opportunity, is waiting on you.
Start getting a teddy bear, then...
Don't wait for "someday" , it never comes.
Sadly i dont have the money for things like that
The possibility of catching a bumblebee with my nuttsack whilst wearing dolphin shorts 0:30 would cause me more anxiety than actually flying in a popsicle stick airplane.
There are many forms of aviation and gliding I would partake in before this.
When your instructor asks if the straps are too tight and before he finishes you say NO! 🤣
I love the steampunk guy! nice touch!!
that open cockpit makes me nervous ......lol
I would put on Goblin costume and drop pumpkin bombs
Haha great. that sounds like a nice idea to me !
I'm spiderman
@@PilotofAdventures And you can attach massive speakers with steampunk music so people can hear it when you fly. If you need other ideas just ask ;)
@@myofficetop you seem creative. This is a idea getting better and better :D 👌
AVEEENGEEE MEEEEEE
I watched this on a 65 inch screen. Clutching hands on the sofa. In real life, I'm sure I would have passed out from fear.)))
Sometimes, i close my eye, and I dream of being up there, without worries, at peace with myself, feeling that I have the world in my hands, then I wake up from the dream and I realize that it was only a dream. :)
I love flying but this takes it to another level.
The hipster is easily recognized in his native environment: always afraid of being forgotten as a ordinary and real person, he gets high on feeling relevant wearing a fancy hat.
iMeMySelf hahaha no shit...
iMeMySelf his doing it your not
Barefoot as well. Can't be seen being practical or logical. Must. Be. Different.
Hipsters are no longer hipsters... its gotten to a stage where so many people want to be 'different' that they are all in fact. the same.
That was a Steampunk. The goggles give it away, a look 99.9% Steampunk ppl use.
That's got to make your toes tingle! They're just high enough to feel how high they are, barefoot too! Just as there are naked skydivers, I suppose there are naked glider pilots, just to max out the thrill! Sweet youth, how I miss you.
Sweet youth 🙌🏽🤘🏽
Ultimate freedom. Just so long as you have a friend with a plane to tow you up
That has just put the biggest smile on my face!!!! Awesome!!!!
That's beautiful :) !!!
SG-38, that's how I started to learn to fly. But via bungee-launch, at Dörnberg near Kassel Germany. First flight ... solo!
Heinz Gehlhaar paramotor even more basic and I reckon way better
I used to love shutting off my engine on my ultra light , so peaceful.
all-electric flying must be awesome in that regard, shame that the batterys are still kinda too heavy for that!
I am scared of heights and this was nerve racking!!! Good job guys on the glider!
I suffer with vertigo tho id still have a crack at this
Seriously considering having a go at building something similar to this.
I love the openess and feeling of freedom you must get flying this
Perhaps I should build a remote version then I could jump off and have somebody land it for me remotely.
Man u must be crazy. I had anxiety just watching the video.

Glide ratio would be reduced significantly if they wore shoes.
The Shoero Dynamics have to be concidered!
without the shoes its up there with falling bricks
He reminds me of myself when I was young man. A very cool dude!!!
Is it just me or was them being barefoot somehow making it even scarier? lol
Without a helmet was a *MUCH* worse decision.
@@vaprex if you fell off, a helmet isn't gonna do squat
@@m.s.aviation7065 It's not about falling off, it's about crashing into the ground. I don't know any ultralight (FAR-103 regulated) pilot that doesn't *always* wear a helmet -- myself included.
@@m.s.aviation7065 He's strapped in..He's not going to "fall off". He's not riding a bicycle. If he CRASHES , he will wish he had that helmet...if his brain is still in his skull. With or without shoes, who cares...
That thing looks so safe
It's a pre-WW2 training glider. There are worse ways to fly, believe me.
That looks like tremendous fun!
Nice hat. I like how it keeps the sun out of your eyes. That seat belt looks like a safety lanyard.
In Finland is few copies of that named Harakka (Magpie) I, II and III. Many world war time aces learned to fly with that. Best ones in the world.
I just googled that glider, it's really similar. Great to see it. Do you know if still some of them fly in Finland?
Linear flow of time: * exists *
Hipster pilots from the 70's: we 'bout to wreck this man's whole career
Like the wirelocking on the turn barrels. Good old school method. No fiddley turn barrel clips here!
Umm the suit is so epic with the top hat makes you look like a real 1910s man flying his home made glider and or the guys back in the day that would fly their glider and airplane inventions Infront of news papers and get pictures taken it's just so funny and cool lol
You should use a replica of the Wright Brothers Flyer as a tow 🙂 👌 Lol
Excellent video and flying, thanks for sharing! 🤝
The guy in the shorts might have looked cool, but I bet he was bloody cold!
Andrew Hirst those aren't shorts. Capris.
Dozer1642 Try looking again!
nooo Iwas fine guys 😉
@@PilotofAdventures what was the ground temperature?
@@sid6554 I'm sure more than 25° Celsius.
I had anxiety just watching.
In the pit of my stomach🤢
me too what the hell are you doing esay..
Absolutely like I would poop on birds
Same here , and i also felt i am nothing
Emotion pictures “I also felt I am nothing”? Don’t understand your meaning.
Life should be free, that what I call freedom!
.....Wow.......liked it... happy to see from above. Enjoyed......Thanks
Awsome bro :) on the parachute idea, you could use a something like High Energy sports inc paragliding/hang glider reserve in a front mount container and a customized skydive harness. Would be pretty cheap insurance.
Great vid :)
:-) Enjoyed watching. . Remember my late father's stories how he learned in the 1930's to fly in a kind of glider like this .but it had a beam in front of your head . first lessons only sitting in it and holding the wings level. followed by a cable starts and each time some higher. till they were allowed to go high enough and disconnect from the cable
He probably wasn't in Germany. Here, this model was intended for basic training. (According to Wikipedia, it was designed in 1938)
Somebody brought a grasshopper to our club the other day, I dont have a license yet so ofcourse I wasn't alouwed to fly it but wow is that a cool sight to see
Is no one gonna talk about how well this song goes with any flight video?
If i would fly that height, i would have died 5000 times already
Altitude is your friend
But the ground isn't
Seriously? That's just around 1500 ft.
@@houstonhelicoptertours1006 "just" for a wooden glider with absolute no propulsion systems.

Yeah, he could easily do two or three times that without problems.
Amazing. This clip is what makes youtube great.
I'm all into it. Need something more dangerous.
This was insane. You are totally nuts to the square, just like me. Awesome upload.
This is the ultimate freedom! Barefoot and all! Envy you!
This is utterly insane, yet I feel oddly compelled to one day sit in formal attire at the helm of a contraption like the one in this video clip, and take to the skies with reckless abandon. I'd probably wear a parachute though, for my duel with gravity, since one never knows how Charles Darwin's ghost might be feeling from one day to the next.
These men having fun flying and I'm getting scared of watching them
I wouldn't be afraid with a parachute! 😄
A proper gentleman's aircraft. I love it!
That looks intense & i would definitely like to experience that rush. Awesome, i would love to glide!☁️☁️☁️🛩️☁️☁️☁️☁️
Don't say you'd love to do it, and just do it! The sport is amazing and honestly surprisingly affordable if you join a club
for your next project, make a classic emergency parachute for the pilot
That will come with a classic coffin. Smartttt
I think he was wearing an emergency chute... edit* it’s just tucked away behind him is all
Wisely said.
Lmao, it has a speedometer and can't ignore the fact that it looks like wall-e
Very cool! I had a toy plane, based on this design, back in the 70s. Thanks for sharing this.
You are welcome 👍🏼😊
I was about to freak on the dude with a dog in his chest in a sling but then laughed. Super cool experience.
Pure flying , just like a bird , nice one 😊😀😁
Sometimes, for some reason unknown, Death sits back and smiles rather than reaching out.
Barefoot is the ultimate detail of freedom for this ride ... 😬😊
Well if you crash , saving your toes will be your last concern ... 😅

No parachute. This dude got balls of steel.
i dont know about steel but i do know i never got one from the flying company ..

Hey~ an airline pilot from south korea. That's pretty awesome. Of course, I'm afraid of how safe it is. But someday I want to try flying with such a great glider. Always be safe, dude.
Hey Nate, nice thank for your comment. Do you also fly small private airplanes or gliders in South Korea?
@@PilotofAdventures Well, honestly, the only kinds of small private airplanes I've operated so far is Cessna, which was for my getting licensed when I was in a flight school. Now, I have a plan to fly an ultralight plane as a hobby. Soon or later, I'll make it.
Watching that made my day complete----Thankyou
