@cedrichelsemans34 Год назад

Hi Stefan! I love your video’s, but i have a little tip to improve them. Try to use a polarizer on your lens of your camera, they make them for all sorts of camera’s. This will remove the glare reflections you see in the curved window from the cockpit! This will make it easier for your eyes to look through the window as a viewer. Thanks for making these video’s in the first place they are beautiful!

@DCSMustang Год назад

does that work for a gopro? does it eliminate all reflections?

@Shloopers Год назад

@@DCSMustang cant eliminate all reflections, no, but getting an ND8 filter for your go pro is highly recommended for filming outdoors in most sunlit situations

@gabba279 Год назад

the polarization angle of the reflected light depends on the surface angle to the camera. With a polarization filter that is linear you can only eliminate one angle's reflection while worsening the others. Polarized glasses or camera filters work well in conditions with mostly horizontal reflections (e.g. on road or water) but since the cupola is shaped round, reflections come from a 180° spread of different angles. You could only opt to filter out the side reflections to see the ground better, but worsening the ceiling reflections with worse views to the front and up.

I’m a hang glider pilot, that final glide and how you started climbing up by the mountains was tight! Incredible just how efficient these gliders are. A big fan of your flying 👍

@Kissenger_ 2 года назад

It was pretty tight indeed. But totally controlled to avoid the accident. He had stored up a lot of energy by going very fast. Even if there was no more thermal he would have had enough energy to cross the whole mountain and arrive at his destination. Great Pilot !!

@charliebrown8278 2 года назад

I was looking very hard to watch airspeed and vsi. You certainly were carrying lots of speed and the ridges were giving you all the lift you needed. What a fun flight! The only time I got nervous was in the circuit!! I’m used to L/D of 3 (787) so seeing such a shallow circuit made me think you wouldn’t make it. I need to get back up in a glider!! Thanks for giving us this piece of eye candy.

@tomarmstrong1281 Год назад

That really was some ridge. Not the first time that the pilot had made the approach from there to the field. Very nicely judged with always a touch of energy to spare. Thank you for posting. Reminded me of happy times many years ago in my beloved Blanik.

Beautiful flight, beautiful hill-countour flying, and a lovely valley airfield. Great landing too!

@jonathanirons231 2 года назад

@fcamiola Год назад

A few questions: 1) How can this glider travel so far without losing altitude? 2) What happens if you lose altitude and you're over a heavily wooded area? 3) Why can gliders go so far but if a small plane loses power it falls fairly quickly? Great stuff, and I know nothing about these things!

@SteFly Год назад

1) Good glide performance, high mass and using lift generated by thermals or ridge lift like in this video 2) You always need to have a plan B to get safely to an outlanding field or airfield. Also speed is additional energy which increases the chance to get further... 3) Gliders are designed for maximum glide performance and have a larger wingspan.

@richardweldon2062 Год назад

1) Lift and weight for a glider is vastly different. For instance a light engine powered aircraft will fly 10 feet forward for every foot lost without power, or a ratio of 10:1. A glider is designed to fly say 100 feet for every 1 foot lost, or a ratio of 100:1 2) It relies on pilot skill, knowing the terrain and listening to the stall warner, or the moaning device you can hear, which let's the pilot know if he's ascending or descending with the thermals. 3) Your definitely in trouble.

@fcamiola Год назад

Thanks for the explanations and insight....this helps. It's really amazing how far these machines can travel!

@MichaelRainabbaRichardson Год назад

The biggest reason a typical aircraft can't maintain altitude the way a glider can comes down to the wing design. You'll notice that on the glider, the wings are very long, very thin, and chord is quite short from front to back as compared to a powered aircraft which will have much more stubby wings, with a very long and thick chords. The difference in design has multiple impacts or else you might ask why a commercial airliner doesn't have such glide ability. The drag around the fuselage is another component. A much larger aircraft will necessarily have to move much more air meaning more drag, even with more efficient wings.

@fcamiola Год назад

@@MichaelRainabbaRichardson Thanks. So that makes it sound like normal aircraft are in trouble if they go into a glide (see the 1977 Lynyrd Skynyrd crash for an example). So gliders are so much safer fliers then it would seem? They always have to land in a glide :). Cool, I'm learning!

@steveasher9239 2 года назад

Really nice video. But you and I both know you were carrying plenty of energy and you were never really worried about making it back. (If I'm wrong let me know) Brings back memories of mountain flying in my Nimbus 2c. In America we have an expression which is "sweating bullets". Or "dancing on the edge". I have done both. But having said all that I did enjoy this video. And saved it to show people unfamiliar with the vicissitudes of gliding.

Yes, I had enough energy to make a safe final glide. But it is always a little bit of scary and spectacular aswell.

@johnworeilly4051 Год назад

Very few glider pilots make their own trailers, we buy from professionals who know what they are doing. Plus in the UK they need to be road-worthy so built to a minimum legal standard. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and it is both protecting your glider and transporting it safely. Worth spending the required money. I wouldn’t consider building my own, just as no-one would think of building their own glider!

@@johnworeilly4051 LOL, it's just a trailer, they're not hard to build, not like a sailplane, learn how to weld and build things (minimum legal standard....again LOL, it's just a trailer, you can do it.
