Great video - brings back good memories of last summer. I was around on the day you filmed those interviews (in fact I'm walking with the nose of the glider being towed at 5:54), and did what was at the time my longest soaring flight (something like 2 hours 45 mins iirc). Looking forward to seeing the rest of your glider training!
That’s awesome!
Really well put together video Ben, you're making me want to take up gliding!
Don't miss out! Go Gliding!
Thanks, Joe! Something to give a go when your fATPL is complete for sure!
Do!
I like the gliding, obviously, I don't miss the noise the engine makes. Great flying, Ben! Your CFI looks a bit like I did when I was his age!
Haha thanks, Christopher!
This brings back good memories for me. The only question I have is: where did you get all that nice weather from..??!!
We were very fortunate on that front!!
I'm watching - 2nd to comment!!!
Hahaha love it!
@planeoldben Is your Rotax SF25 also used for glider towing ?
Will you do some gliding this summer aswell ?
Nice one Ben
I'm starting a zero to solo glider course in June👍
That’s awesome, have fun, Simon!
Respect! #1 view provider Promo-SM!!!

Awesome video Ben, I just know it in advance ! (:
Thanks a lot, Mark!
Unfortunately the days of fully spinning the ´13 are over in our club in Germany. We implemented the highly recommended TM from Schleicher to prohibit aerobatics and spinning (and cloud flying, but no one does that anyway) due to old age, and repeated glue failure on the elevator in the last decades, and just recently again. The glue they used degrades under adverse conditions (moisture) badly.
At our club in Belgium also, however I wonder if the measure is not a bit too conservative; the spin itself is not really stressful to the airframe. If the recovery is done right, easing the stick back calmly to reduce airspeed it shouldn't stress the elevator any more than going back to best glide after an ordinary dive in symmetric flight. Of course, the prohibition should prevent a student from trying the spin alone once solo, and putting his/her live at risk by recovering with a hard pull on the stick, but on the other hand, not practicing with an instructor on board to demonstrate that violent action on the controls is unnecessary probably increases the chance that, confronted to an involuntary spin, the reaction might be inadequate. Hard to find the balance.
Great video. Well done.
Cracking job Ben! Especially the landing ;)
Haha the landing was mediocre at best but thank you!
Hello Ben how do you like gliding ? Im a powered pilot looking to get into gliding because it looks like so much fun! Pure way of flying and is pretty economicall too from what i understand. Greeting from Sweden!
I'd have liked to have seen the spin and spiral dive develop more. However, the spin off a failed winch launch was an excellent illustration.
Thanks for taking us on your journey Ben. Really interesting stuff!
I vaguely remember Martin Shaw learning to fly gliders at, iirc, Lasham, in an Anika Rice TV series. I watched it again on You Tube.
Are the gliders that noisy inside without headsets etc - or is just the sound recording picking such up?
BTW my dad flew open topped gliders as well as enclosed back in the 1960s (iirc).😊👍😄😄
Thanks Muso, I’ll try find the Martin Shaw episode! The K13 is slightly louder than the K21 but you do get used to it.
Class
🤙🏼
Love it Ben!
Thanks for getting involved!
Great footage, Ben. Really enjoying following your journey 👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much, Kevin!
Nice work Ben. I think I saw you shooting for this one.
Cheers, John! A couple more episodes to come yet too.
Brilliant watch once again!
Thanks a lot, Lewis!
Really well edited video. Love it!
Thanks a lot, Jordan!
Man I miss gliding at Lasham.
You'll have to come back! We remember you!
Definitely head back!
Anybody that calls a K-13 a 'shed with wings' is a bit of a spoilt brat............... but then a lot of 'Junior' pilots are.....
Tongue in cheek of course from someone with a few thousand launches in them ;)
@@lashamglidingsociety5511 didn''t sound like a 'tounge in cheek' comment to me .....from someone with over ten thousand launches in them ;-)
