  • My gosh ... The airspeed ! He's flying at 70 km/h and he hopes climbing ??

  • It doesn't look like strong lift at all, Besides that you should definitely get better climb in 40-50 degrees bank, circling closer to a core.

  • Funny face on instrument panel!!! LOL

  • What is heavy lift?

  • Warum Segelflieger tragen immer diese komischen Mützen .....? ;-)))

  • lool come 2 daddy that made me laugh

  • Five Meter !! Come to Daddy !!

  • I hear the bips from two E-variometers.. mabye thats the reason for the "enormous" lift... ordinary lift X 2 = Heavy Lift

  • Best sound in the world!!

  • Hallo zusammen bei uns an der bergstraße sind 3 meter bärte normal und nicht "Heavy" 5m++ ist Heavy!

  • wow what an amazing lift !

  • Nice plane, can it play any Mozart?

    LOL!

  • To IK1963, now that's "Bitey" flying, mate. I suspect you are telling the truth, so love the imagery. Of course, if you had claimed that trees, cows or chickens were up there with you then I might not have believed you.

  • Hey, i supose it's truth, even in denmark we encounter straws in thermals when theyre harvesting the fields in august, and thermals in DK are on a really good day maxing out at 1000fpm, and normally 500-800 fpm. Autralia is a freaking nice place to fly.

  • OMFG!!!! sag mal was fürnen radius fliegst du da???!!! 5km? lol ja nicht mehr als 20grad bank, sonst stürzt du noch ab^^xD

  • hvor varmt var det den dag?

    det må havde været mindst 20 grader.

  • Warum 2 E-Varios? das hab ich noch nie gesehen

  • WOW, flipin VVI !!!

  • CHE FIGATA!!!

  • würdest du ein bisschen enger kreisen und nit so riesen dinger ziehen wie da würdest du auch konstant mehr haben

  • mahhh das gepipse machert mich fertig

  • Ha ha, come to daddy! Come to Australia, and then you will get strong lift. I've had the vario lockup on max, and the alt was going around once every 30 seconds. That's why branches off trees were in the thermal with me! You ever caught the one thermal off a 2000 foot launch to cloud base at 17,000 feet, with a minimum 1800fpm rate of climb?

  • @IK1963 Sounds like New Zealand to me.

  • @IK1963 =D

  • @IK1963

    Dude.. telling us this is simply not fair. You could at least try to pretend the thermals down there are as bad as they are here..

  • hehe^^ genau sooo hört sich des bei mir an wenn ich ne 3-4m granate ziehe, da schrei ich die thermik auch an das sie zu daddy kommen soll :D

  • I dunno, gliders arent my thing. I'd rather have an engine :)

  • I wouldn't recommend playing tetras and eating cheese curds while you are flying!

  • The beeping noise is an altimeter with audio feedback used by glider pilots to determine lift. Raising notes indicates liftfalling notes tell the pilot to move on to more thermally efficient air.

  • Two varios? That's just greedy!

  • variometers get annoying after a while.well they do with me

  • Not annoying when you can look out of the window instead of colliding with peeps ;)

  • ah love that sound!

  • Even so he is still going up!!!!

  • He seems to have difficulty centering on the thermal
