As a pilot certified in this type of flying in sailplanes, I can only tell you that I have nothing but the deepest respect for this man and his skills. I only wish.....
Such beautiful flying ("Talent is overrated; there's just endless practice) and he still has to push his own glider after landing. Bravo from New Zealand.
Nice flying, filming and editing. I especially loved that you left in the original sounds and did not drown them out with some boring music. That's how it should be done! Thumbs up!
Up to whatever the airframe is certified to. The glider in the film is a Solo Fox (+9g/-6g). It's older brother Swift S-1 is certified to +10g/-7.5g. One of the certification requirements was to put an accelerometer in front of the pilot. Supposedly the bird is so easy on the controls that there is a real risk of over-stressing the airframe.
If you think you love flying then it's to your benefit to take the first flight in a glider, that teaches you the aerodynamics of flight (the feel of it), and it teaches you to appreciate altitude and the management thereof. Once you can comfortably manage altitude and land a glider then flying under power is simply an added benefit. it makes you a better pilot under power. After 53 years of flying my greatest joy still comes from flying a glider, and a piper cub.
Fantastic Video. Do only one question.... as you have recorded sequences from the back of the plane? I would like you to update a photo of the system to be able to see it. Thank you
How long and how far could you go with a glider before you actually have to land? I dont know much about flying but if he is gliding wouldnt that mean he is kind of slowly descending in the air?
Great acrobatics. How do you know when the plane is near to its estructural limits? We dont want a wing break in the air ... I noted too that glider has the tail in X and not in T , is better this for acrobatics? Thanks . And good flight.

It is an aerobatic glider. Certified to +10g/ -7.5g. 10g is on the extreme side, but in general, many gliders are certified to fly high g maneuvers, they often fly in turbulence most other aircraft had better avoid.
Some gliders can go for thousands of kilometres, in New Zealand Terry Delore and John Kokshoorn flew for 15 hours covering 2501 kilometres, as long as the lift is there flight time is unlimited. The ASW 22 has a glide ratio of about 60, that means for every 60 meters in forward travel you lose 1 meter in height, approx don't hold me to it I'm no expert I only fly scale model gliders. Hope this helped. Cheers
well...he looks hot! and a little surprised at the Gs he's pulling....it's hard to discern what maneuvers are being flown without power! very cool; i'll need to watch it a couple more times!
Man, there ain't enough barf-bags in the known universe to take care of what would happen if he were to be foolish enough to take me as a passenger on that ride! Stunningly beautiful! A true maestro of stick & rudder! (Glad no one told him that stuff simply can't be done in a sailplane.)
Denis, I can see that gliding is serious business. That guy did a perfect job. He has way more guts that I do. I suppose YOU would like to do that though? I enjoyed the film. Thanks, MOM
It's all about energy management. But he is released from the towplane and loses height gradually as he does the aerobatics, after all he is only up 6 minutes. Gliders when not doing aerobatics can use thermals (rising air) to turn in and thus they climb, by doing this flights in excess of 8 hours and 1000km are not uncommon in good parts of the world.

the sound track is way kool... i gotta wonder if thats hard on the wings tho..it sure as hell isnt easy on them.. u can tell he gets a big headrush each time he pulls 5 gs maybe more
I love flying gliders, and have just been cleared for aerobatics today. I feel however that the aerobatics this man does, are far too jerky. In my personal opinion in a glider they should be made to look smooth and graceful. If you want aerobatics like that, get an Extra?
This was all done in the 60's except it wasn't recorded. But it's nice to see others doing it over the Alps and other places. It's not scary. It gets boring. Bit like going to Mars really. It has all been done and there is nothing there. Everest was first flown over way back in 1929. In an open cockpit. Today they fly at 40,000 feet to the Himalayas and then climb to 30,000 feet on the mountain. A bit silly really.
If you knew anything about flying you would know that the gum is to help with popping of the ears... all my pilot friends agree that gum is a necessity for flying

I love the way it goes quite on the stall manouver.
I am in awe of this pilot.
pięknie pan lata , aż serce mocniej bije
Grate pilot from Poland!!!
Congratulations!!!

totally amazing is onreal thaa is the most beautiful acrobatics I have ever seen ...thank you for sharing
Amazing performance! Nice flying and nice filmed and editing.
best soaring video ever! loved the sounds!

Wow! And very nicely filmed!
5 stars! Great cut and cam combination.
Oh WOW! I had an introductory glider flying lesson today, it was awesome, but this is just beyond amazing at what people can do!
Grande Piloto!!! Parabens! Eldo- Araguari city/Brasil
Lovely, thanks for sharing. So nice to hear it properly.
Incredible video!!!
Czapka z Głowy - nie ma to jak polski szybownik
Pozdrawiam!.
That is a very very cool video. Well produced and edited using several cameras. I cant say enough !!!
Efficiency and energy management :) These things are extremely efficient compared to most powered craft....they have to be.
Also an acoustic experience - like this!
Fantastic Video.
Do only one question.... as you have recorded sequences from the back of the plane?
I would like you to update a photo of the system to be able to see it.
Thank you
Amazing flight, wonderful. Congratulations to the Champion. Bravisimo.
Great work very nice flying
świetny materiał

Bravo Monsieur !
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That what I call flying, All the best and wich one day to fly with you.
great video
Greaat! Who needs music!? Nice wind sound!
Brilliant flying, what type o glider is it?
I'd like to see him do that with a motor bolted to the front. This was way too easy......
Great flying !
Great acrobatics. How do you know when the plane is near to its estructural limits?
We dont want a wing break in the air ...

man he is having so much fun
É simplesmente, espetacular. De tirar o fôlego.
what model of aircraft is the towing one ?
Lol WTF I just noticed at the end he was just wearing a shirt and some corduroy trousers (and I'm betting some loafers to) what a freaking legend !

Spectacular! Awsome i wanna try :D
does anyone knows what kind of smoke cans they use and where can I find them?
super pilot
nice high speed low inverted pass there :D
yes, it's my favourite part too. :)) I agree with you :)
Awesome!!! He is the best!!!

wonderful silence
what's the highest g force you experiance in a glider?

Because it's a RATIO, it doesn't matter. You could also use feet or miles or whatever.
Not to be rude to correct: World Glider Aerobatic Champion. Not Glider Champion.
NICE Video.
Very, very cool. Wish I could shake this guys hand.
what is that move at 2:24 called? Thats just the best move in my opinion
Um desempenho impressionante do homem velho.
What type/make of glider is this?
How many G's do you pull there?
Ok, lets see what you do, please prove me wrong and provide a vid of you’re efforts, Can't wait!
Piekny lot.
You crazy sona-va-gun lol. That stall at 2:20 seemed intense
looks scary but fun good job
Respekt!!!

I have seen people do low passes and climb into their circuit, but never whilst inverted.
the sound track is way kool... i gotta wonder if thats hard on the wings tho..it sure as hell isnt easy on them.. u can tell he gets a big headrush each time he pulls 5 gs maybe more
GRANDE!!

Z ostatnich pokazów to kojarzę tylko akrobację pośpiecha na EPBC we wrześniu. Na 90% była któraś z piosenek adele.
Would love to have a flight with you. Precise set of skills. Nothing but fun. Thanks for shooting it and posting. Enjoyed it.
Genio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes !!!
Magnífico....un sueño🌹
How does the pilot stay up so long with a glider??
+10g/-7.5g if this is (as I think) a Swift S-1.
perfect
No kurde, ale fajnie :D

Beautiful! I agree with Samsonreklam. /Tille,TeamM
Damn! He's good
