Another wonderful video of this beautiful sport Paul. Your successful efforts at bringing the beauty of flying a Sailplane to the public and even to each of us involved, make you a friend of the soaring community indeed!

Can only repeat what others are saying. Beautiful video and well matched music. I have long felt that modern competition gliders are a thing of absolute beauty. I would be interested in knowing the glide ratio of some of these machines.

The glide ratio of the gliders present range from 40 to 50 .

Another great video Paul and definitely one to add to the list to watch during the cold and miserable days of winter when we can't get to the hills to slope soar.

GG is a Windward Performance DuckHawk 15m made in Oregon, USA. (might be first prototype as crew was working out bugs) Windward no longer makes these, low demand, I think 4 or 5 were built and are still flying. All pre-preg carbon, very light airframe.

Was trying to get a ride for some air shots for this video but all the 2 place gliders were 'booked'. You can see soaring legend Karl Striedieck in a few of the shots got to fly some R/C with him on a rain day.

The young need more exposure to what Soaring is all about. It's amazing. Music almost sounds like Tangerine Dream. (?)

I recently found out it's not as expensive to start as I thought it would be. I'll be doing my first flights next season for sure.

@@sinki19841984 Excellent. You will learn more about Weather, Aerodynamics, Meteorology, Stick & Rudder flying, Decision making, and a bunch about yourself in Soaring. I have both single engine and glider ratings so you can trust me on this. It's a absolutely marvelous sport.

Hi! What's the little grey ball on the towing lines for? We don't use that at our club... ??

Enid Durt it protects the rope where it is wrapped around the tow ring from abrasion. The ball drags on the ground, instead of the rope where it goes around the ring.

more or less a take off compilation than a short film.. misleading title
