[EFKY2012]

 i cant wait start of season

[TheKeyWestian]

haha 2:40

"thats embarrassing"

[runningwolfkenpo]

How many birds come through the windscreen?

[Riggro]

most gorgeous and noble machines made by man to DATE

[atreewithnolife]

amazing!

[HeliPilotWill]

That noise as it flies past is amazing!

[GAFAAAAAA]

5:19 looks like quite a bad spin.

[lbrtbssn250]

Pity about the "plak" at 5:09. Hope your pride and joy is not too damaged. Whish I could fly with you all.

[landykid60]

great stuff,,,

[vybusnyblogcz]

You can cut grass with your wings.

[askii3]

@serger2010 Wrong... Go look at hundreds of other videos of sailplanes making fast low passes then you'll see.

[askii3]

5:08 Ummm, what was the deal there? Ran out of energy on final glide?

[Alexglide1987]

Serger2010.. No they don't.

[42nROck12]

first dislike im a dousche

[abadrutt]

Question!!!!???

to do a low pass with a glider the folowing action would be landing right?

[romanek2840]

What kind of gliders are these?



[111alien111]

@romanek2840

white ones

[gulliveresque]

Too bad people insist on putting stupid music on otherwise beautiful flying vids.

[marcuis337]

Can sb write names of two used songs?

Ones of THE BEST films on YouTube about gliders. <3

[zzsnake]

@marcuis337

Fatboy Slim - Right Here, Right Now

Fatboy Slim - Funk Soul Brother

[graciousSenor]

It looks like a sperm with wings...

[abadrutt]

what a beautifull sound!

[waiwing]

It's breathtaking!!!

[doffincodger]

Brilliant flying! However for 'ground effect to work properly, they need to fly a bit lower! The UK is now 'Euro 'Nanny Stated. Whom makes the rules? The French, the Germans or the Brits, which prevent us having having fun? We have way far too many 'ground-based beaurecrats (whatever their nationality), determined to destroy our reason for living!

[Zlin0035]

Sounds like they have Jet Engines??? 

[Snobiker13]

@Zlin0035 No engines, it's just the wind noise. And the trails you see behind some of them is ballast water. The water is used to make the plane heavier, to raise the speed where you get the best lift-to-drag ratio. It's dropped to make the plane lighter before landing.

[PLANAutomation]

Nobody has ever broken the record for low flying..

[KATAERO1]

Did I see a full-blown flat spin at 5:19 to 5:23? Did that pilot live to cheat death another day?

[gangbenenno]

LIKELIKELIKELIKELIKE



[MrSunrise1961]

Low passes are cool and even have their place in competition, but what's with this crap about doing them over people and equipment? Did they all sign on for the stupid risks involved? Some of these pilots need to grow up!

[xXJOHNBOYJPXx]

is that at bloemfontein where the soaring safaris are

[zzsnake]

@xXJOHNBOYJPXx Yes exactly, but also at Tswalu

[lbchuma]

Actually not that hard to fly this low this fast, if you understand aerodynamics and a little thing called Ground Effect.

[Snobiker13]

@lbchuma The hard thing is to arrive at the right spot with the right altitude and the right speed.

[bobbesmegen]

if there would be a speed bump on the runway he would hit it :D

[440centerline]

please delete the lousy music

[andreefamilia]

espetacular!!!

[plaiskool]

HOLY monster clouds!

[zzsnake]

@marintoss it's a Nimbus 3 single seater, the terrain is in South Africa at Tswalu which is a Private Game Reserve

[marintoss]

@zzsnake It is more then beautiful :) Love it! 

[mosbysmen]

nice, the music is horrible 

[MrTommy001]

What did the lion in the beginning have to do with this? Great soaring vid, nevertheless.

[snoozyfloozy]

This is stunning, I've watched it a few dozen times and the finest type of flying available to man.

[MrTumnus8896]

Saw the JS1 at the British Nationals this year, Looks great and performed pretty well. Honestly, at 5:20 it looks like a little model, no?

[zzsnake]

@MrTumnus8896 it maybe looks like a model at 5:20, but honestly...it's not a model

[deltringham]

Nice compilation. The music is a bit much though. Way too loud at the end.

[saxpg]

This is awesome!!!

Thanks for this video, I enjoyed every second of it!

[panther105]

What is all this about SPINS....?? All I saw was an endless series of low altitude passes. Nice glider though. I prefer a shorter wingspan glider such as a Grob 103 which can do aerobatics although those long slow high banked turns are awesome. . These high aspect ratio gliders just never seem to lose energy....fantastic performance. Thanks for posting

[zzsnake]

@panther105 Thanks! I should say that aerobatic is also great, for the spins look at 5:20 ;)

[bbestoloch]

that not seems to be some ordinary tail spin.. more like a deep stall stuff

how he solved on it?

[zzsnake]

@bbestoloch He did those spins Voluntarily, Indeed the glider was in a special configuration, (I don't remember which one; if he had water ballast or not, or tail ballast or not... he did lot of spins during one month for the certification) but I was there filming his spins to analyse them on the ground, to solved it he probably put negative flaps, rudder opposite to the spin and stick forward, The pilot said that he didn't struggle to solved it

[bbestoloch]

what the f***!! 5:20 that ghlider are going in deep stall... what happend to the pilot



[zzsnake]

@bbestoloch The pilot is fine, he did some spins test for the certification of the glider, the JS1; the best 18 meters ;)

[alexmccaw1]

whats happening at 5:08 and is that glider in a spin just a model becouse it looks like its going to hit the ground !!

great vid

[zzsnake]

@alexmccaw1 that glider is not a model, it's the JS1 (from south africa) doing some flying test, and there, the pilot (who like doing spins ^^) is doing a spin test, but he is high, he didn't hit the ground ;)

[FL4ME5]

big balls

[go2cloudbase]

Great video, but they came back too early, the soaring weather is still good, they should still be on course! Just kidding. Keep posting more like this.

[manonnette1]

Wow, great vid man! Whats the name of the first (intro) song??

Five stars!

[zzsnake]

thanks guys, the name of the intro song is "Fat boy slim; right here, right now" and the other are still from fat boy slim; "funk soul brother" and "praise you"

[Jaapdeaap1]
