Kinetic 100 Dynamic Soaring 18/Dec/2016 

RU-vid has been throwing dynamic soaring videos at me for a week or so and I finally watched Spencer Lisenby’s talk about the physics, aerodynamics and evolution of dynamic soaring. I had never heard of this and now I can’t get enough. The extremes, edges, and highest levels of nearly any pursuit can be fascinating.

I am impressed by the landing skills.

Amazing flight from a human pilot!

This is a cool sound :)

It makes a nice sound, looks like it is relaxing to fly when going that "slow"

Interesting that a rather small leeward gully provides so much DS power. Of course, the windward slope soaring look great at this location, too, and the foliage a good landing pad.

where was this, beautiful background.

That's Discovery Bay on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. That's where I learned to fly gliders back in the 90s.

Great flying, DS'ing and landing a skilful pilot

Well done...very nice editing too.🤠

That sound O.O nice flight

Wow, that is impressive to see how wind power can be stransfered and amplified into the glider. Is it anywhere close to how tornadoes form?

Used to fly RC planes when I was a kid and something random would always cause a disaster. But it wasn't at 200 mph thankfully.

This is new to me and it's interesting. Is there a motor on it (I am hard of hearing)? Seems not because it's a glider. How does it work? I am guessing that you have to angle it into the wind in a certain way to make it go fast?

Nice video. Where is it?

Pretty cool analogy to how a cyclotron works. :)

Ouch on the landing!

You have the video listed under Comedy :) Which model is this? It looks similar to a Staufenbiel Hawk III

Is this an ultralight kinetic? Wind seems very mild.

Tail end dynamic soaring stance I got a lot of energy that way but I crashed 4 times Mine was EPP you Got a lot of Confidence to do tail veiw DS in with a me olded glider I wonder if that glider is still in 1 pc

Where is this? You have the video categorized under "comedy" which made me laugh, so you were correct afterall. Insane flying by the way.

Brave!

Tailend ds, very brave

Did the wind change direction in the second half of the video?

I know drag sucks but boy does it sound cool!

2:00 this soud could be recorded and warped for Star Wars special sound effects..

I took most of the dihedral out of my ship it's difficult to fly.

Geile Kulisse da wo Sie fliegen

Then he reverses directions so he's looking at it taill first... I don't know what's bigger that plane or his balls made of carbon fiber..... Tail end view is tough...

If the plane crashes into the building, the flyer will have to pay a lot for damages to the building. It is not good place to fly. Why does he choose such a olace to fly? Whee is this place?
