GoPro MAX 360 footage of my full flight, June 17 2021, Ellenville Flight Park, Ellenville NY.
I got up there very late in the day, conditions were smooth and scratchy - just barely soarable. Efficiency and tactics were critical to getting up :-) I'm certainly not claiming to have flown perfectly (technique or strategy) but I do think there's a lot of subtle stuff I do (and stuff I don't do!) that might help people fly more efficiently... I want company up there at the top!
0:00 start
0:36 Launch Run
2:55 Light thermal with Paco
8:35 The secret to getting higher on a wonder wind evening
12:45 Tighting up my turns in a little bubble
23:45 Doing the zen thing feeling the glider pulling towards lift; found another bubble!
36:40 Back to long, straight upwind passes in area of best lift I could find (turning is inefficient)
38:55 Wingovers
48:00 Setting up for a launch buzz
49:00 Time to buzz the tower
51:40 I see a new pilot getting ready to launch so I clear the area for them. I’ve had plenty of fun today… and I still have enough altitude for a little more fun over the LZ :-)
53:30 Wingover
54:01 Non-standard base-to-final leg lol
54:10 Ground rush
54:15 Feeling like I might go farther than I wanted so dumping VG (was originally just going to land with it on full)
54:21 Making sure I’ve put myself where I want to be, I pop up a little and plan a slight climb where I’ll run out of speed- time to flare- over my ‘spot’. Subtle but with the camera looking straight ahead can def see the little climb higher than I was for the skim.
Thanks for joining along! Questions welcome…
