I don't want to critize you or anything, but you give way too much side rudder 2:45 for example. The string is supposed to point !slightly! outside, never inward.

If the string is slightly pointing outside you will not only lose less altitude but it is also safer since the glider won't start to tailspin that easily.

Der Faden sollte in der Kurve nach außen zeigen. Du wirst weniger Höhe in der Kurve verlieren, und der Flieger beginnt nicht zu trudeln, solltest Du zu wenig Geschwindikeit haben.

Can you please tell me the name of that moving map you have in the center of your instrument panel? What brand and model is it? Thank you. Great video.

Nice landing right down the centerline.

Awesome glider flight, and cockpit! Is glider motorized? If not, how were you launched so fast??

[Studiobite]

@dave4shmups as a glider pilot myself we get winch launched, it is a quick and cheap way to get you soaring. Basically a cable attatched to your plane and a mechanical reel at the end of the runway.

@binnieb20 good for you?

X-L-ent thanks for the posting!

[TheErikFasterling]

how much did you climb??? I mean without the launch altitude XD

[camoflage2998]

@TourmalineSurfer that beeping is comming from the vario-meter. It basically is needed to find thermals. example: If the pitch of the beeping is high (or it beeps fast) it means the glider is in an upwards airstream. If it is low (or beeps slow) it means the glider is in a downwards airstream. this can be turned of in case youre wondering ;)
