What is the best thing to do, if I want to fly in the mountains too? I fly now over 5 years, and it would be lovely to fly in the alps... Do you have any tips?
In big wing class, which this is, it's usually a good idea to keep string slightly on the outside of the turn, extra precautions so that not to stall the inner wing. But hey thanks for the tip!
Not at all, comments always welcome, glad you enjoyed. The EB 28 has a 28 meter wing span, so very few gliders are bigger. They are amazing in weak conditions, stays up for ever.
I've never flown an endless wing either, but I imagine that such a tiny rudder has very little control authority, in the interests of absolute performance. To keep the yaw sting in the center would require considerable concentration while manouvering for a photo and trying not to 'sword fight' with carbon fibre at altitude! :)
Bloody good video, and great scenery, that you just don't get in Australia.
one of the last adventures we can enjoy.
Thanks for the nice video, keep up and flying.

@hargreavesjn123 Anywhere between 50-130 kts, it really depends on what you're doing at the time.

with the eb28 you can almost cover all of the pyrenees, so you will have raise every moment

Isn't that little string on the canopy supposed to be pointed straight back?

Ok, I can accept that. Biggest I've flown is AS-W17, and one doesn't really want to be yawing about in that ship.
I didn't mean to be overly critical, it is a fine video and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for posting, and keep flying!
