Don’t worry! He’s coming on Instagram very soon 🤙😜

Thank you for all the fabulous memories my friend!

come get some 🙏

Something I sling together for the video cheers!😝

@@niallharvey track id? Please 😁

@@davidrocks9611 it does not exist yet I make it myself for video 😜

@@niallharvey love it man! You are talented. Keep it up!

Most of those wings are “ccc” gliders which stands for “competition cross country” there is a rating system of how safe a particular wing is, it goes from En-A, En-B, En-C, and En-D, with A’s being the safest and D’s being least safe (but with more performance) and these ratings are done by load testing, shock load testing, and flight testing, the flight testing involves a pilot collapsing the glider and seeing how it recovers in different configurations, and stalling the glider to see how it recovers, spiraling, spinning it, and a multitude of tests are performed and how it recovers on it’s own without pilot input is how they get the A through B ratings. Now, back to these (most of these gliders anyway) are what I first told you about “ccc” gliders, they are the highest performance gliders made, and are made specifically for the highest level of racing by the highest level of pilots, now they only have load testing and shock load testing, they have no flight testing to see how collapse resistant they are, or if they recover, at the ccc level it is completely up to the pilot to be able to keep the glider open and flying, when they are open and flying they will glide faster and with a better L/D than any other class of glider but they demand a very experienced and talented pilot. By watching this video I would say that even though this was a high wind and rowdy launch site that probably half of those pilots shouldn’t be flying that high class glider. Some people should take a step down if they don’t have the skills or if they aren’t as current as they once where. I’m a fairly new pilot with 2.5 years experience and 80+ hours of which 65 are in strong thermic mid day conditions, I just recovered my first En-B glider (it’s on the higher end of En-B gliders) but still, I’ve flown a high en-A for 2 and 1/2 years and am just now stepping up, wish me luck Lol, but it’s still only a en-B, the second safest class of glider there is, but it does have more performance, a little more speed, a little better glide ratio, a little more dynamic handling. Hopefully I’m ready for it, I will start out flying it in light conditions before going into mid day strong conditions.

exactly what I thought...but maybe it wasn't allowed there...in Germany we have rules for everything

@@thomasriedel2828 love to you friend I have to learn how to fly myself I've taken lessons I bought a wing epsilon 9 and a harness and the lessons all at once. I don't live where there's very good flying. I never thought about how Germany loves rules so much and they might tell you you have to launch from someplace farther up the hill and then that's what you do. I'm trying to figure out different ways that I can block a road long enough to launch on some of the hills around here. I'm just sitting here laughing thinking about how different it is here

@@markmcgoveran6811 where do you live? Yes germany and especially the alps are beautiful, but if some spezial bird eats some special mouse, that lives in that special gras downhill, then you are not allowed to start from there 😀

@@thomasriedel2828 I love you man for caring about me at all. I live in Nebraska north of Omaha and our state has a lot of rivers in these Rivers have ridges that you can probably fly and The ridges aren't very tall. There are some places with some long hills and I have a friend who will let me fly there once I get my insurance ticket. I'm going to fly up in the air every time with a box of cornstarch for cloud seeding and try to get up under clouds and throw it out or get up over 300 ft and throw it out. Then I'm going to tell everybody my friend Jeff that's really rich is Rich because I cloud seed and make all the rain fall on his farm and it just squeezes those clouds dry makes it look like a desert down wind whenever I fly. I'm going to have flashing lights and a horn. I figure after a year or two of this people will invite me to fly from their land and make it rain on their Farm if I can. I'm already well-known person around here for riding motorcycles 100 mi an hour on gravel. When I fly I will have two plans one plan is to fly up in the air and come back and land near my car and drive it home. In every case every plan is I'm going to try to fly from where I launch back to my house. I want to drink coffee and tell big stories about flying through the air and almost dying every time until everybody in town is looking for me hanging from every tree coming out of every cloud landing on every road. That way if it gets dark and I haven't called on the telephone and found my way home they'll be somebody calling the fire department or the sheriff and tell him exactly where they saw me 20 minutes ago. I bought an epsilon 9 and I'm flying heavy on the wing like a gangster and I'm going to fly a trim speed everywhere.if your flight heavy on the biggest epsilon 9 they got you're a gangster and all from a small town you have to act tough when you're landing and launching close to the ground and everybody can see you. The rest of the time it's okay to fly along and cry because you don't know how to do active flying and the company said if you put your hands up it would be okay. I bought the wing in the lessons and everything from the school and I'm still doing the ground handling and it's coming very slow to me at the ground handling. I bought another Wing at a garage sale with a little bitty boardless seat harness. it's a speedway and it's small and I think in light wind it won't be able to pick me up and dump me like that big giant circus tent of an epsilon nine I have to learn with.

@@thomasriedel2828 your reply is a real Spirit lifter. No matter where I show up the launch I'm going to tell everybody I just landed there and I ran into that haystack because I had to cover my eyes I was so afraid I was praying that God would save me here's $20 to pay for the haystack that I ran into. No matter whatever kind of wild stunt I'm pulling as far as taking off and flying from somewhere I'll always be able to talk myself out the trouble, much much more easily here than I would in Germany. If the first thing I did was claimed I was landing there and tried to pay damages the policeman is pretty likely to let me go and if they do take me in it'd be real hard to get the judge to be too mad at me.

Der Normaldenkende in Deutschland würde (wenn er die Lizenz hat) bei solchen Bedingungen nicht starten. Und wenn doch, weil er der absolute "Crack" ist und weis wie es geht, dann sehen die Starts nicht so scheiße aus. Mal ehrlich, die hatten mit Ihren Hochleistern alle mehr Glück als Verstand und Können!!! Ich für meine Person lass den Schirm bei solchen Bedingungen eingepackt. Das ist keine Werbung für diesen schönen Sport.
