Cloudsurfing glider with engine start and low save

- Early tow below overcast, and with little help from engine I managed to connect to first thermal down low. After that weather improved and I managed to fly inside and around clouds for few hours.

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic shots! WOW! If I wasn't already a pilot, I would be thinking about getting my pilot's license now... Thank you for this uniquely beautiful video and many greetings from Wuppertal, Germany, many happy landings, yours Wolfgang.
Thanks Wolfgang!
I love this kind of videos! Really a spectacular sight. Great flying!
Thanks mate, I really appreciate this!

Kristian, I should a video of your at our local glider club. It is amazing how there is 2 extremes of "Amazing" vs "No that is illegal" and now midway view of "Ehhh"... We see it in the commentson your channel too. Have you ever wondered about the philosophy between the 2 groups?
It is normal, they see something that is likely not allowed in their country, and due to lack of knowledge they think that it has to be dangerous and illegal. I try to tell what we do and how, smart people can be educated. I do not mind at all answering even less smart comments every now and then. My mission is simply to show everyone the beauty of the world above cloudbase.
wow the lift all new kinda flying for me THANKS not a pilot but right seat a lot Kin g air & Bonanza Cesni ? Cant imagine free flight but Love the assist as needed ......what about Traffic control or u so far out its No Concern
I fly mostly G-airspace, you are free to do anything there, incl. IFR.
Are gliders permitted to fly into and thru clouds? I thought you had to be IFR rated AND have a transponder
I have rating and equipment, it's legal in my country
@@kraswIn which country are you flying?
@@Aaron-fb9mk Finland, EASA rules
At 9.42 you enter cloud. Why does hitting the cloud make a different noise? Is it more dense due to the moisture and is that picked up by the microphone?
Likely just more turbulent air passing microphone
@@krasw ah yes, clouds are turbulent. Never flown in one so I've never experienced it.
Hey Kristian at minute 2:32 I see a goose next from your control panel holding your cell phone. Can you tell me a little more about this. I would have thought with all the shaking in a glider the goose neck would bend down. Does it hold well? Where di you get it?
It is Oudie gooseneck sold by an austrian webstore, Streckenflug.at. Their current model is for Oudie N: shop.streckenflug.at/?p=2822 Very happy with it, does not shake or move at all.
As it happened, we changed our gooseneck arm to ram mount. If you need it, it is yours!
Nice! What camera are you using?
Insta X4 with 3m stick
