Arcus 8m - First flight at the seaside in Brittany 

The lift it got was immediate, what a great soarer. Fantastic job on the build and cg. So inspirational. Such a joy to watch.That beauty just doesn’t want to come back down to Earth.🕊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

Three dimensional poetry in motion backed by a beautiful sound track. Thanks for sharing and great team work by the assistants

Watching this was amazing! The way you flew, the music and the scenery makes it all so perfect! What a great job!!

Now that is a sailplane. It is fast and very nimble, but so gracious. Awesome job.

Wow! That was well done! Gliders have always fascinated me! They seem like gentle dying Giants. There quiet.. just sort of blend in with nature around them. Like working fields with horses. You can hear every stone that the plow turns over! Respect and congrats from the States!!

That was amazing. I can’t wipe the grin off my face. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I've watched this vid quite a few times now and it's as inspirational as the first view.hundreds of hours of work to create this baby and it's first flight.it cod have flown with a simple toss at first throw without having to go to edge of cliff.it shows at landing that this little beauty just wanted to keep soaring.the music and response from this little baby's pilot and he's well earned feelings of an accomplishment portrait in vid is unsupassable.best vid I've seen in a real long while.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What a beautiful flight . The love that went into building that glider is unsurpassed .Loved it ,from America.

OMG, what an awesome glider, launch, and pics, The builder must be so proud of making such an awesome piece of kit, I watched to the end... loving every minute of it, an inspration to builders everywhere.

I fly RC too but not gliders... yet. But when this was launched so seemingly effortlessly it made me Smile from ear to ear.... and I never smile. Beautiful.

sooo wonderfull! Perfect glider, skills and sesational environment. What a blast! 😎💫🤙

Beautiful video. Captures the emotions too and I bet they were intense. Gorgeous ship, great flying skills, just grand. Bollocks of steel to launch that one bedroom apartment with wings in such conditions.... Wow!

Beautiful to watch, captivating, can't believe how stable it was in that wind great video well done

I was very nervous and cluttered. I watched this clip. And now, quite relaxed and overwhelmed by the pleasure, I put myself on the waves with this beautiful bird and embraced the soft music . Let it be whatever it wanted. These moments give me everything. Thanks friends.

Wow. Amazing, especially the guys who ran towards a cliff edge to launch it!!

I have experianced in glider flight for one year, now I watch this aeromodeling very good in high performance in high speed. Congratulation !

Amazing flight! One of most beautiful gliders I’ve ever seen. Congrats!

What a beautiful bird. And 9:10 ... that right there us a happy man. Well deserved sir, enjoy that beauty.

This beautiful model is so well flown- many thanks to the constructor and pilot.

Truly a great video, and background music, we need more of these on you tube today. Theres something incredible, about simple flying or sailing, or its association with the sea, and wind, maybe its freedom.

I have no idea about this ....but this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen...so glad I ran across this. Thank you for sharing!!!

Glorious video and a stunning achievement. Thank you for sharing. Currently on holidays on the east coast of Australia in a house on a headland with continuous onshore wind, perfect for sloping from the property with unbelievable coastal views and my plane is sitting at home. Aaaagh. At least I have your lovely work to admire! Cheers, Dave

Oh wow! Wonderful to watch this. Kudos to all involved! The model itself, the piloting, shooting and edit superb. Altogether tremendous! Many thanks, and keep on flying!

That is the most beautiful expression of flight that I’ve ever seen.

What a beautiful aircraft and so expertly flown!!

I fly model gliders too and that model is absolutely stunning to see in the air. Also the hands in the air and the smile on landing says it all, I hope you have many flights with this model.

Wow! Simply Beautiful! I have done almost everything Rc related Planes, Helis, Quads, Cars, Boats and even Motorcycles! I have 3 gliders a Renny 2m a Pulsar 3m and a chopped up Manticore 2m that I have always wanted to slope which I have never done... You have just inspired me to make sure that I do! Thank you for sharing that beautiful bird and majestic flight. Bravo! well done!

An absolutely gorgeous machine - bravo! 😁👍🏼👍🏼❤

Amazing, You could almost hear her at the beginning saying "let me go let me go"

HOW COOL IS THAT!!!! Giant scale sailplanes. Awesome

What an incredibly beautiful bird.

Absolutely beautiful videography, music, gorgeous sailplane and environment!

I've gone on a diet. Maybe in a couple years I can get in it. It's such a beautiful and graceful sailplane, it's just the inspiration I was looking for!

The quality of the video is excellent... I know it's not important compared to the subject matter but it does help enjoy watching this magnificent machine. Well done.

Very beautiful glider and his flight. Amazing ...

Beautiful plane, piloting skills, and video! I've watched several times and can enjoy it more now, knowing your crew survived the launch. Brings back great memories flying gliders off the coast of Southern California, including Torrey Pines, many years ago.

Absolutely gorgeous! Well done. An amazing, majestic aircraft indeed. I can imagine the Wright Brothers pretty much doing what you did here with their glider back in 1902 :)

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!

amazing video, great flight, enjoyed every sec of it.. bravooooo

You've got have nerves of steel to toss such a wonderful ship off the side of the hill...but, oh the rewards ! One of the videos I share when people ask me 'what did you do this weekend' and when I have to explain when I say 'slope' ! Magnificent !

The scenery, the plane and music were totally lovely!

this thing WANTED to fly ! didnt take much to get it in the air. freaking awesome video.

When the glider was flying WITH the birds- i started crying. Im so happy for u guys. What an accomplishment. Really. For all of us. 💙

This video exemplifies the pure majesty of flight.

Excellent !!! Congratulations !!! Juro que pensé que cuando lo soltaran se iría de narices hacia el precipicio pero voló como si estuviese acostumbrado a hacerlo solo !!! La mejor imagen cuando vuela junto a las aves.Disfruté mucho este video sumado a la apropiada música de U137 - Pearl Lakes.

Fantastic footage on a gorgeous glider!

Fantástico vôo! Sem poluição, sem barulho, numa paisagem maravilhosa, altamente relaxante!!

I used to build and fly R/C Sailplanes when I was a kid. There isn't anything better than flying an airplane that was build by ones' own hands from a slope over looking the ocean!!! Nice video, nice scenery, thanks millions!!

Superb in every way, from conception , flying and brilliant camera work, music, uplifting , words are not enough....thank you.

Super szybowiec, super lot, super szczęśliwi ludzie. Gratulacje!

Прекрасный вид, прекрасный планер, прекрасный полёт, прекрасная музыка. Спасибо за хорошее настроение.

Such a beautiful wing profile.

Congradulations on the build and sucessful first flight of your Arcus 8M. Simply brilliant!

One step short of the real thing. Excellent music accompaniment..

Wow! Amazing! Beautiful aircraft and beautiful flight!

Beautiful plane, EXCELLENT camera work! My jaw dropped when I saw how the motor deployed.

Looking up at this fabulous glider is, for me, looking up at heaven. I can't get enough of the slender wings. Spectacular! My respects to those that sacrificed themselves to launch it! 😉

Really well built and flown graceful like a wandering albatross Lovely to see

This freedom... a powerless flight... I'm overwhelmed... like a bird... brings tears to my eyes. I felt this action deeply. I felt as though it could've been endless.

Просто офигенно, красота!!!

A really great glider video, felt like i was there. Well done!

Que beleza de planador, maravilhoso, lindo demais

just incredible....so beautiful ....a credit you to you ...made my day seeing you all have so much fun ....

Wow so amazing and touching at the end. Very satisfying I think when you build for hours and hours and than this performance. Just great!

Wonderful aircraft, excellent !

Vôo muito lindo😘, parabéns, aeronave impecável!

Such beauty, such floating elegance. When I see such a performance I always think of my sessions of argument when I speak to other people about wing tips or the tips of air or water propellers. I do not exactly criticize the wing tips of the elliptical wings of the Spitfire but since very young, I always felt that the rake forward of the trailing edge was always a misunderstanding of the vortex that is created at the wing or propeller tips. I never liked the cloverleaf shape of the tips of water propellers as those on the Titanic. I had always noted that both the leading and trailing edge of wings in birds and tips of fins in fish both the leading and trailing edge were raked back. Giving credit to the evolution of living creatures over a million years, I studied the situation and fully understood why nature selected that both the leading and trailing edges of tips of wings on birds and fins in fish evolved like that. This video clearly confirms that it is good to have both leading edge and trailing edge at the tips to be both raked back. Birds and fish do it for a good reason...... it is the better tip! The fact that the additional winglets are where they are, well it certainly support what I think of what goes on those tips, such a lot goes on and what is more, it is all so beautiful and so elegant and so efficient. I feel that the Spitfire would have been a better aircraft had it had different wing tips. Also in this case, where being a glider is a benefit, the fact that the horizontal stabilizer is mounted so high, it has clean air passing around it and it results in such an elegant flight. Congratulations to all who took part and also I must recommend the bravery and courage of all those launched that plane down that hill.

Brings back wonderful memories. Fantastic. Thank you.

heart warming.. beautiful flight, beutiful view, with a beautiful song.. thanks

Excellant flying too

Fantastic! What a pity we can"t hear the sound of that wings whistling

What an exhilarating event! I loved watching this great launching of a real work of art, such a beautiful craft and how the three involved and the friends filming were all together with this great first flight. I wonder how close the guy with the white stocking cap came from running off the edge of what was maybe a cliff! Also an amazing feat of craftsmanship and design to create such a remarkable craft. If I didn't know it was a model, and with the very real looking pilots that reminded me of the guy at the controls and the guy with the dark hair that helped launch. I like how the natural plants were tossing in the wind and how the sea gulls flew with the craft too! It would be great fun flying that in many settings with such a beautiful coast. Is it structured for aerobatics too? I suppose that all comes only with a lot of practice as I'm sure does with how to launch and also how to operate the controls. Thanks for sharing this great video!

Excellent teamwork, bravo to all of you!

No idea how I ended up here watching this video but I'm glad I did, pleasure to watch. Well done to all involved

Congratulations, that was fantastic.

Wow she's a beauty. The tension was amazing. Lovely to watch.

Красивый планер, красивый полет! Крылья как у птицы! Замечательное место, замечательные добрые люди, вот бы там полетать на параплане....

I was realy moved. Beautiful.

Sitting here enjoying my coffee and this comes on. Thank you for sharing.

Pretty much a perfect maiden voyage. Well done and great music! Thanks!

Fabuleux! Bravo Très belle video

Muito lindo Parabéns...

Amazing flight ! Bravo ! 👍🏻

At the begining of the flight some sea gulls approached the glider to recognize and cumpliment it. Splendid footage, music and glider.

Fantastique, merveilleux spectacles !!! Bravo les "Rosbif" de la part d'un "Froggy" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tolles Video. Toller Flug! Und sehr schöne Aussicht.

Красота!

Good job you have mates to help you out, I would be buggered trying to launch that on my own aha

It’s beautiful, I think the sailplane is the most elegant of all aircraft. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your experience.

Nice model. Well the launch took long enough. Thought the 2 lads were going with it too...lol. Well done.

I love the fact that they still putting likes to all the comments even after two years.

A beautifull Glider in a beautifull Scenery! Congratulation!

Finally a video without hate down here...

Wow, what a beauty! Even with the spoilers she didn't want to come out of the sky. Glad to see the e-power back-up, just in case.

what a sublime and beautiful machine.

Nicely done, sir! I have watched this several times and am fascinated each time. I have two motor gliders that I"m learning on, but you are way past me. Great flying and great camera work.

Absolutely amazing👌

Master pilot!. Quite smooth flight keeping in mind those difficult weather conditions. My 2 passions together: sailing and RC

Qué preciosidad 👏👏👏😍 ENHORABUENA que vídeo más BONITO ✈️👌

Impressive could watch it glide for hours.
