  • He only started when he had the glider under control , So he did mutch better as other pitots .The just run and fail. Jou don't have to start in one time ( like you see on the blooper video's ) Only start when ist good and feels save .

  • Once you got yourself airborne you had a very nice flight mate!

    What kind of a wing is this?

    

  • rotor porra!!

  • Is that the lower takeoff at Fortuna in Spain?

  • Yes it is. A site called Bordillo.

  • Hey man, when your wing is over your head, break and ruuuuun !! Don't stay like that !

  • No arguments needed. Its just a student learning to fly. And he does finally.

  • dejar volar a esta clase de alumnos con poco entendimiento de control del ala es alto riesgo en vuelo. se ve que no entiende nada!!! de todo lo que esta haciendo.

    verguenza deberia de tener el instructor. la brisa esta buena. y el lugar tambien, pero le faltan horas de entrenamiento en tierra para controlar sin ver esa ala.

  • From this point you go further on. It can only get better.

  • Poor wing... :-(

    Just f***g ground handle it more. Easy take off site and so much struggle.

  • wind looks very light which makes reverse launch tough, but yeah, there's nothing in this video that we probably all didn't do as beginners. in light wind keep moving backwards as you pull the wing up past that 45 degrees stage. in strong winds you step towards to get under it and then brake it before it over shoots.

  • total natural

  • Problem is people are to eger to fly and Ground Handling is just as important as flying if not more important! A crap launch = crap flight or may not even get off the ground. The amount of attempts leads me to believe he hasn't practiced enough Ground Handling! In our school we cant fly if we cant ground handle! End of. If we ended up on a hill like that and screwed the launch up and sustained injuries whos fault is it! Both instructor and pilot! PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!

  • So what if he tries it for 100 times? As long as he does it controlled, and when it is tending to go wrong, just puts down the glider, I am a happy man!

    Keep up the good work, keep trying, do not take a risk. It is all a state-of-mind thing.

  • -New Pilot

    -Bad Wind

  • Perhaps wing should have laid further back from edge.

    For a beginner, while flying, isn't he too close to the ridge ?

  • stick in there. We were all like that once

  • Well done mate. Keep it up. Cheers

  • No Talent in Flying

  • We all must tell guys like him to work with his body. It's not the wing that have to do everything. We must help it.

  • ground handeling first then flying

  • A good example of what students should not to do... don't fixate at LOOKING at the wing, don't FIGHT the wing with the brakes, don't 'overstep' going under the wing and don't fail to go back (initaly) under the still rising wing (as that keep the upgoing wing stalled for longer)... that said does a good flight & landing once off the ground!

  • Yeah, this was one of David's first few fligts! A good learning experience. :-)

  • ur an begginer?i fly for 1 year and i dont think i wuld have such truble in this flying site..

  • that was a lot of hard work!
