actually its very expensive

lithium25693 who said a thing about price

@@lithium25693 Actually it isn't expensive. I have been gliding for a year and have spent unter 400€ in total, all costs considered.

@@EirikAnd99 how much does it cost to buy a glider?

@@Niraol Depending on the glider it can cost from 10.000$ to 300.000$ and more.

A parachute wouldn't have been much use at that altitude! Amazing flight, I have done a lot of x-country glider flying but never that over such a long distance - Respect!

IT's free! :) aka wind

@@stephansalas1464 What wind? I hardly heard lift at all from the Vario.

@calikalbo calikalbo Ridge lift its pretty interesting, won't necessarily get you much altitude but will allow you to maintain your altitude as long as you follow the contour of the mountain. Someone like Pure Glide could give you a good explanation.

Being low is fine, and being slow is fine, but being low *and* slow scares the crap out of me. I guess he can land out on any of those grassy fields, but that sounds really unpleasant too.

hi there i have a few questions ,how long does it take for someone to learn how to glide , and does the FES system prevent you from major accidents that could happen like losing altitude ? meaning is there something worry about ?

@@ElyesBoudhina Hi Elyes, learning to glide can easily take months to over a year, it depends on how often you fly. I haven't flown any gliders with an FES (Front-Electric-Sustainer?)system so I cannot speak from experience. I can imagine flying with an FES system is a confidence boost though.

​@@thespudbud9910 So what can you do if you glide with no FES and encounter an emergency situation ( because the way i see it, if you glide with no FES its seems like it would be like jumping from an airplane with a faulty parachute is it not )

@@ElyesBoudhina Find a good thermal or ridge, pray or look for a healthy field to 'land' XD

@@thespudbud9910 when i was watching gliding videos that was the first thing that ran through my mind => security how can i survive if shit goes south , is the seat ejectable ? can i have parachute ? i just can not get into something that does not have back up plan and FES just killed it . cuz with out it i think you are willingly rolling dice on your life .

Not risky, but fun, light Ridge lift can stay up a long time and Ridge lift you are allways pretty low and close to the rige to stay in the lift, especially true on mild ridges like the ones he is flying over. Love having no engine. He looks like he has lots of landing spots. Gliders like his have good glide ratios, as in over 40:1 so you can glide a long way. A glider recently reset the sailplane altitude record climbing at 500 to over 1000 fpm to 90,000 feet asl using natural super smooth mountain wave. A RC model glider with 9 ft wingspan hand launched off Ridge using dynamic Soaring off the downwind side of a ridge flying in a circle many tulimes accelerating to a world record of 545 mph, this type of Soaring pulls way more g's then a human can withstand, imagine flying in a circle of less then 100 yards diameter at 545 mph, accelerating from had launched after 4-5 turns to 545mph! Or fly in a sailplane race to one to two defined turn points over a 109 mile plus triangle in a glider averaging from 45 to over 100mph

Yes, that´s correct! Nice integration of ASG :D

@@SteFly Perfect Playground for my ATOS VR..

@@airgliderz wow that is a lot of great info thank you so mutch 😁💪

He didn't have FAlarm.

At the end everything was safe and easy to glide back to the airfield. Finished the task and landed ;)

Yes, that was no comfortable Situation! The wingloading was very low and the ASG29 still flies with 70 - 75 km/h, so a small margin was still there.

I’ve seen several comments of you stating that what you were doing was particularly risky. Now you comment again that a situation was not comfortable. Where do you personally draw the line between risk & reward? You seem to put yourself in those situations relatively often. Aren’t you afraid you are going to push it a little bit too far at some point? Don’t get me wrong, some people are willing to simply take more risk (there are a lot more dangerous hobbies out there) and can deal with those more risky situations better, but just like Anne said, all you need is a bump and you could potentially cross the line because of some ‘bad luck’. As long as you are aware of the possible consequences it is ok imo, but I would like to know your point of view on this.

@@MauritsHebels You're not the only one wondering this. I do have concerns that other, less-experienced pilots in lesser gliders may try to emulate this.

@@SteFly Far far too little potential and kinetic energy reserves over such a shallow slope

It is easy... you were not there...

agree too many cuts, and what about the landing

That was "Plan C" , Plan A high and happy,Plan B on the top's and having to find a good climb Plan D, turn out and land in 20 seconds

Sorry, but you need to educate yourself on what dynamic soaring (flying ) is. This is not it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_soaring

This is NOT dynamic soaring...

Even tough, you run out of altitude once.

im not a expert in this at all but i think its heat bouncing up the hills that create lift i think its called ridge lift if your interested in googling it

@@misterpspdude incorrect. Not thermals. Ridge lift. I saw no thermals in this video.

@@fivemeomedia My own experience alone here, provided that the warmer air is rolling up the slope its effect resembles in a way, the ground effect. Very slight drift correction is essential in order to traverse and with the wind direction immediately behind you its like skiing uphill. Try it. Get out and fly the mountains. Its more than challenging your skills. Be safe. Good luck. Foxtrotkilogolf.

Hallo Rüdiger, die Höhe über Grund kann man in dem Video schon relativ gut abschätzen. Das Vertrauen kommt daher, dass ein Flugzeug bis zu einer bestimmten Geschwindigkeit fliegt und ich das Wetter für längere Zeit beobachtet habe. Das heißt nur sehr schwacher, wenig turbulenter Wind und kaum Thermik. Dadurch gibt es nur noch mich als potentielle Fehlerquelle und die Wölbklappen können die Mindestfahrt im Extremfall noch einmal minimieren.

I've hit one in a glider.

At the end of the video I had enough height to glide back home to the airfield and finish the task.
