glider speed world record 229 mph !!!!

[ILoveMyBikes]

amazing to think the record is twice thar now :)

[nibnobsam]

what's the make of the plane?

[chimandude]

Gay...

[spittle97]

u mean 29 u can see the decimal easy

[cinekasPL]

bzdura kurwa! skoro 60 mph to jest 100 km/h to kurwa to gówno leci coś koło 340 km jesli sie nie myle... rozlecialo by sie to w drobny mak.. fake jak nic....

[cqbhoun]

damn, if that hits you, you're going down.

[baseballballs]

Imagine he'd lose the control and it would crack in your face ^^

[ElroyHarvey]

@baseballballs Would most likely kill you, i remeber a few years back a guy in my old model flying clucb had a radio problem and lost control of his glider, unluckily it hit a guy on the back of his head and fractured his skull and it was only doing a fraction of the speed the glider in this video was.

It upset the guy flying the glider that much he stopped model flying after that and as far as i know still does not fly model aircraft, a shame really on both accounts :(

[armandin2048]

@ElroyHarvey 1 (nearly 2) down, how many to go before there is room on the hill for real pilots?

[ElroyHarvey]

@armandin2048 What do you mean by REAL pilots? I fly both full size aircraft and model aircraft, i enjoy both but model aircraft are harder to master from the ground where you don't have all the visual clues you have in the cockpit, maybe flyers of model aircraft are the real pilots?

There are plenty of hills and normally they are shared although the accident i mentioned happened on a small hill where full size would never be able to fly.

Why the attitude and the nasty comment?

[luckylongarm1]

nope. not world record. not even close.

[patman0250]

@luckylongarm1 for a glider it is you dumb shit!

[Coolrockndad]

The fun of a glide is to float on the wind, as in searching for those hot air thermals.

You might as well be flying control-line speed. I have to give this a "dislike".

[transdrole]

How do you build a lightweight glider strong enough to take 20+ 'G's?

[benwest123]

It was as exciting as watching old people have sex

[BenRaymen]

It's a toy. Who cares Grow up and glide for real.

[ogdemigod]

def not the record LOL

[patman0250]

@ogdemigod if you look it up you would find that you couldnt be more wrong

[ogdemigod]

@patman0250

oh really...hit me up with a link ..friend.

[patman0250]

@ogdemigod just google it .

[ogdemigod]

@patman0250

I have and its not 229mph

[patman0250]

@ogdemigod the others are fake they already came out with it

[ogdemigod]

@patman0250

damn so that video of the guy going 400 on here was fake? hmmm lame.

[patman0250]

@ogdemigod i was there buddy. so there you go fake

[ogdemigod]

@patman0250

sigh why would someone post a fake video for such a small niche scene if it would be plainly obvious that he wasn't doing 400mph..

[patman0250]

@ogdemigod why els so he could clame he holds the title . why do you think its not official

[Doom687]

Imagine if that thing hit you in the nuts...

[fezzin1992]

ive seen 400 mph on youtube :P

[medoug69]

@fezzin1992 Iv'e done that in my glider !

[galaxything]

@fezzin1992 so have i but its not true, does it look like its 2x as fast? No.

[Elvarks]

Kph?

[seilriss]

this is a fake

[justkillen07]

@seilriss ur life is fake! think about that haha

[skierplaterandy]

@seilriss no it isnt.

It's called ridge lift.

[justinRkeaton]

@seilriss no thats skill

[RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

Jesus Christ!

[unit666industries]

wow....lol. thats fast

[MrStrobe21]

Holy shit how the hell do you fly that thing thats FAST as HELL!!!

[minus5m]

OMG!!!! At 0:27 I ALMOST SHIT MY PANTS!!! This "Glider Speed World Record" was sure worth spending 0:55 minutes of my time on...

[Allexxx96Reloaded]

how can you do that?

[bunjit1]

It's very amusing to the rest of the world that whenever an American does something it's not declared the best in America, it's always the best in the world. The scary side is most American's don't even realise there is a rest of the world.

Congratulations on having achieved America's fastest RC glide though!

[nigelmtb]

Like the Baseball World Series?? That cracks me up!

[XaircraftX]

thats bad ass lol awesome!

[fingerprint211b]

What was it built from? Sure has to be tough to withstand that. Great video.

[perkynippz]

quik

[wildblue2]

more like radio controlled wind turbine blade!

[deVidsMan]

that's not a fucking glider

you get in a glider

[staytuned100mil]

yes man, its a glider

[rcFoamFighters]

Wow, scary fast indeed! awesome flying!

[Squirrel9901]

lol must have bloody fast reactions to fly that

[08CJ09]

sweet

[Ralphmortimerroome]

i was scared the whole time too, just watching. hanging on the edge of my seat.

[mattstevenson12]

Hahahah!!! lol! Your Funny As Hell!

[Davor0901]

@Ralphmortimerroome hahahahaa same here lol

[armandin2048]

@Ralphmortimerroome You sad, sad man

[felixb502]

the new record is 397 km/h

[Aerolipe111]

Scary fast!

[glamterra]

when flying these pieci of machineri, do you feel the g forces through the controller?

[Hakidia]

How would you? Unless it makes it harder to turn when the g-forces get higher ._.

[LuyenDarkness]

"When flying theses pieces of Machinery do you feel the g-forces through the control sticks?"

Rephrase that; because i almost died right there.

ANSWER: No

[glamterra]

well perhapsertsi the controlli is fitti with I G-Meteri which in turneri gives fedbackeri to de controlleri.

[LuyenDarkness]

do these guys look like they are flying an expensive model glider?

[glamterra]

im sure it is prety expensive...

[Lamorock]

wow super fun, flying in tight circles with no engine. . . . I wonder if he builds trainsets too

[kappa619]

i remember being at the beach and seeing a guy get hit in the face by one. he didn't look like he was having fun. that looks cool though.

[miniheli]

Is it true some guy beat the 400mph record on a rc glider?

im reading rc groups right now. crazy

[belgianhorst]

I guess as interruptions also indicate: It was achieved on a fly-by each time. So between atempts he was gaining some altitude for some seconds and repositioning to fly-by.

[mysticmediaproducts]

lol funny. Non-powered speed. What'll they think of next to waste money on.

[neil9327]

"I was scared the whole time" lol

[tommitchell1718]

Nice ! suprised he can keep control off it!

[Dejablue630]

damn, that baby can take a lot of stress!

[6MadTongue6]

probably with jet turbine !

[Rog115]

Wow! Incredible. Who needs jet powerd rc planes after seeing this!

[aegismachina]

take your damn head off

[jaydubya10]

i'd hate for that thing to hit me going that fast

[zeophoto]

How did you bring it down?

[DeadlyKeith]

he must be able to control its speed.. i was thinkin the same thing

[wwepsycho12]

wow! thats really fastt! definite props to this! good job dude

[hoody2050]

where the hell is VNE?

[BoberAlmighty]

hooow can u driving that.. xD

[adminfx]

scary fast? lol no um scary fast is doing 2500 mph in a mig 10 feet off the ground

[RightToFly787]

That's right, 229 mph isn't no scary fast cause if you crash you dont burn in the airplane with 3000 gallons of fuel exploding around you.

[corbystarlet]

what makes it so fast?

[2916jr]

gravity and wind

[BarracksSi]

Wow! This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this. What kind of pattern, wind direction, um... shoot, HOW does a glider get up to those speeds? I couldn't see it very well in the video thanks to the compression.

[jjeaster222000]

sweet that thing is fast!!!!

[iwanvic]

So gay!

[67uh67]

this was gay, scale modle jets are better

[JIMAXair]

that is fast, but props like mine rnt ment to go 229 mph

[jonataseuuk]

good job

[Error4O1]

Congrats, nice job.

Oh, and to you haters, getting out of bed is just as dangerous as model airplanes.

and @hazza, you put one of these in the dirt, you will walk away.

[kcriders]

cooooooool

[bluethermal]

nice one,there are old pilot but there are no old..........

[sourmanofcoal]

irrisponsible behavior leads to irripairable consequences ;-)

[Amire92]

that can slice som1 in half.

[hazza0224]

lol thats cool.. but why dont u dly a real plane not a toy

[zackattack182]

CRASH CRASH!!!

[x80568056]

what if it hit you in your head?? its too fast to correct path in time.

[ShuRugal0]

What if a meteor hits you in the head? the odds of smacking yourself with a model are about the same so long as you aren't trying to hit yourself.
