Didn't look windy at all to me. The tree branches weren't moving at all. I, personally have landed going slightly backwards twice, wind at 30+ MPH. Also, once I witnessed a lightweight kid flying a glider way too big for him launch in a 30 MPH wind at Dog Mountain, WA. He climbed out going backwards, kept going and disappeared from sight. Never heard how that worked out for him.

Clickbait bollocks!

wonderful video

Amazing flight! Hard to believe you could do that on a hang glider foot launched from Funston. How the heck did you get so high? Would it have been possible to get back to the coastline and fly the bluffs down to Funston? The approach and landing on the golf course was very cool, though. Was that a one-in-a-thousand (million?) kind of day out there?

How fast can you go on a hang glider?

Good times

So you guys got what looks to be a perfect training site, as well as a launch/LZ that looks just right for lots of tandems... Yet I rarely see videos of new pilots or any tandem going on... How come?! Make it grow again :)

That was a sphincter tightening way to learn about rotor. Maybe the best way.

Fore! ⛳️ nice drive

Wasn't the Moyes company the first to introduce topless gliders? I've owned two moy's gliders in the past and I really liked them better than the Wills Wing products, but that's just me😅

First time ever doing a pre-flight on an older Falcon 1 everything checked out, but the instructor sent me back to do it again (She already knew what was wrong) ...and I found a dent in the left leading edge mid-way between the nose and crossbar. You really could feel it if you pressed in firmly as you ran your hand along the tube. Maybe the newer Falcons have more layers of mylar, etc.???

Good to know the right people to do a proper sail repair. I know a guy that works making custom sails for racing boats. His company won't touch glider sails though. They don't want the liability...

How much

You could fly to white castle!

How much do those go for?

"Hang glider coming through...... nothing to see here, move along..."

😂

Wow beautiful view! I think I had never seen a video so high at Funston before. Could you possibly consider crossing to the right, over the bay entrance? Those hills look yummy. Was that LZ planned? Or at least did you know you had that option if you couldn't make it back to the beach?

At 3000' in that area wouldn't you be in the approach path of Rwy 10L and 10R of SFO or the departure path of Rwy of 28L or 28R?

Got a little too far back on that nice convergent air. Hope the golf course is good with emergency put down. Cool scenery.

Whoa, how'd you get so high? That seems way higher than regular ridge lift... Did you find a thermal in all that wind?

Misleading title - just click bait

I feel let down. The title says "...emergency landing in the middle of a lake." All the suspense and nobody even gets their feet wet! This is more like HG pilot makes really nice improvised landing on a golf course.

you're my hero Dude!!!

Very beautiful, but at the end my a*s got tense 😬😆

Phew!!

very nice Landing

Must be tee time.

Nice one

I was hoping you were showing a solution. :)

You ever get scared of the wind will take you right out to sea? Miles and miles and miles??

Swinging about like a rabid koala

Nice😊

Here's an idea, when you're flying a bladewing like the Atos (for the first time) make a high approach to get a feel for how the glider is going to preform when out of the lift band and into whatever windspeed you have. Then you can better judge how to make your landing approach. It looks like the pilot thought a bit of low maneuvering might salvage the landing. Man, low turns in an unfamiliar glider in windy conditions is a recipe for an accident. It's better to incrementally learn how to manage an approach than trying to force the landing by doing low maneuvering...

Cool 👍

What is the serial number?

Don't turn downwind at the base of the TCA

Sweet! That was not a big landing field.

Rattling good fit on that one 👍

What rope did you use for the VG?

I'm so old I remember when mylar inserts first came out. And of course Will's Wing at first refused to incorporate into their gliders, just like their first refused to have streamlined down tubes, and refuse to have a VG system talk about some arrogant pricks lol

Great great video man!

Be certain to fully open the center zipper and stick your head inside and inspect all visible spars for denting, damage and corrosion. Also check that the VG pulleys are clear and the VG rope is not snagged. Also check the rope that holds the crossbar hinge from rising up to high and damaging the center battens and batten pockets. Also, the backup loop quick link needs to be inspected to be certain that the nut has not opened up. Additionally, the backup loop needs to be on top of the VG rope in the event the keel breaks in flight. Good job on opening the elastic on the king post so that the nut is inspected. Those jam nuts must never be used more than one time. They cost about a quarter each in bulk and should be thrown away every time they are removed. Myself and several others I know have had our hang straps come off on one side in flight when the nut backed off. Keep up the good work!

Thank you so much for posting this. If you’re ever taking requests could you do a “how to put your glider back in the bag” for the sport 3? There’s nothing solid out there on UA-cam.

dont have a S3 but I'm usually checking also the bolt/nut holding downtubes up by the keel

Well that was a pretty good preflight, one thing I would have checked was the VG system up in the sail and if the glider is so equipped the swinging crossbar. I failed the check that on a pre-flight in the swinging cross bar was not swinging. Meaning I had a major turn right after lunch and it put me back in the hill hard, so hard it broke the base tube on a huge rock. Thank God my parachute cushion the blow to my chest. Also cracked my helmet on another rock. You might want to mention that you should do an annual inspection and seriously look at every connection.
