Having another go at sloping with my Brother. (He was flying the black and gold Sinbad) We found it's important to have two gliders that fly at about the same speed. These two seem nicely matched.

As a seasoned RC glider pilot I love the slow laid back non-competitive vibe here. Just some beautiful vintage gliders flitting and floating together on the slope. ❤
I was laughing out loud! Great to see you and your brother having so much fun! Thirty-seven years ago I accidentally hit my brother in the forehead with my Gentle lady wing while slope soaring! We still laugh about it.
John's videos and flying captur the essence of what 'flying' is all about. He captures a child's innocence and awe of discovering something for the first time which is in us all. Even when he does it over and over again it never loses this refreshing innocence. If ever we need an antidote to the mad modern world we inhabit today then this is it. And where better to capture it than on the Cornish coast. Or maybe I am reading too much into it, why not just enjoy it without understanding why?
Beautiful flying and filming. Great team work, but there did seem to be a competitive edge nearer the end. I hope no damage was sustained. Two planes with a big speed differential could be interesting . . . one flying nice sedate patterns while the other runs circles, rolls and loops around it. Well, maybe some day.
Instead of calling. You. Guys the ThunderBirds. I’m. Calling you the Gliding Birds Team !! I like the loop one does and the other cruises by !!! Way to go ! 😃
Hi John, That was some exquisite formation flying. Nice double retrieve. Katherine is doing an awesome job keeping both of you in view. Does she do the video editing? You all stay safe.
👍up before the vid starts and don't skip the ads. I'm sure John will keep posting weather or not he makes any money from RU-vid. However he will most likely spend the money on a sweet new or vintage plane, and we will all get to enjoy that 😁
Great vídeo. I loved it. Where is this beautiful place? I'm from Brazil and here in my region I have some dunes that I will fly with the lazy bee that my friend is doing. Tks
Glad you pointed out which one was your brother, so now we know how to tell the difference when we meet you in the street. He is the one wearing the floppy hat. Are you twins? 😁
To formation fly, I believe it's not size that has to be the same, but sink rate and the key there is wing loading more than glide angle. Not sure though.
hello John Woodfield. I subscribed to your RU-vid channel and I thank you for your beautiful videos. thousand bravo. I have a question: where are you flying? Where is this place by the sea where you have your gliders flying ? Thank you for your answer. ( i am from Paris)
John, your videos just keep getting better! Any chance you'll make the plans to the Ocean Breeze available, via Outerzone or other online source? It would be a fun build.
Gosto muito dos planadores do John. Muito legal mesmo. Se houver alguém aí que vende plantas de aeromodelos, favor informar. Já vi em sites o problema é imprimir na escala corretamente.
Just discovered your channel. Do you always fly at Perranporth? I’m down the road in Hayle, but often come up to Perranporth. (Getting into FPV quads recently. But want to try slope / gliders.)
Hi there. I live in Perranporth so it’s really convenient for me to fly from here, but I do sometimes fly at other places. If the wind is from the East I go down towards Gwythian. You are more than welcome to come fly any of my gliders.
John Woodfield RC Gliders that’s a super kind offer. I would certainly like to come and look at them in action. Don’t think I would want to fly one of yours in case I messed up. But maybe I could follow your glider with my fpv quad and get some shots for both of us. :) Are you a member of any Facebook flying groups or anything like that?
John Woodfield RC Gliders Yes, have seen your onboard videos and really enjoyed them ! I was just thinking air to air with these beautiful classic gliders would be amazing. Be great if you could do it at some point. Cheers.
