@chrisrobsoar I fly with narrogin gliding club in W.A. The closest hills are only flown at during a wave camp. he trouble is, I'm only on my A certificate and a C is needed for it.
great videos im enjoying all of the videos.. just a request if you guys are able to take more videos of the 747.. maybe do some cat iii landings in poor visibility with the camera attached to the landing gear would be really good.
Bugger, my comments about the ground winch below are in the wrong order. Please read the lower one first and the middle one second for winch explanation.
@SMA380 its a ground based winch. I have used one at Corowa NSW. Just a huge engine on a winch that retracts a cable at astonishing speed. Corowa's is a V8, on an automatic car gearbox, through a diff onto a 6' winch. They gently take up the slack, then when the signal is given by the pilot they apply the power to the engine and those lightweight gliders take off like fast jets!
@SMA380 Its an awesome ride, at the top of the climb the pilot pulls a release lever and the cable detaches from the glider, the cable will fall back toward the winch (the winch operator keeps the engine running fast to wind in the cable), the parachute visible on the cable under Balleka's glider opens and keeps a little tension on it to allow it to spool onto the winch drum nicely, while Balleka (the lucky sod!) makes his own way toward destination fun!
@MaralizeLegawana The long boxes are trailers that most private owners store their gliders in. They are also needed to go and retrieve your glider if you can't make it back to the club and have to land in a field. Go and join a gliding club its a great and relatively cheap way to fly. Good Luck, Matt
Can't wait until I can do this

I'm a little confused as to how you got in the air so quickly?! What was towing you?
