It was great to meet you! Another cool video!! Hope you post more of your flight. I'm thinking about getting a GoPro HD or VholdR ContourHD 1080p. Any thoughts on what is better? Dawg. Std Cirrus YR
@skydawg98 Hey Dawg - Fun to meet you too. You have a lovely plane. Make sure you fly her a lot! :) I don't know either of these systems but there seems to be more buzz around the ContourHD. Make sure to post any videos you make. :) Bruno
Lovely video (as always Bruno). I am a paraplegic hoping to get back into soaring (I live in the right country - South Africa!), and your videos are giving me all the inspiration I need! Thank you. @thewritingwriterof89 the e is pronounced, "Stemmeh". A real dream machine!
@RS15zero Thanks. A Canon Vixia HF M30 with a Canon wide angle lense (very important!!!) I plan on using this as my new main cam over the shoulder mounted this season. I then will use a Kodak ZI-8 with a glued on wide angle lens as the hand held and/or external mounted cam. I was please with the results so far. You always wish you got less camera shake but that's life. Bruno
Fantastic.. just breathtaking.. all you video's have inspired me to get back into soaring.. got my license as a teenager but moved on.. it has always called me back
@xratzix Thanks for the comments. It was a very fun day and I learned a ton. Garret flew the first leg of the task and then I flew the rest with his coaching. He is headed off to the World Gliding Championships in a month or so to represent the USA in open class so I greatly respect his insights he gave to improve my own soaring. I am planning on making a video showing some of the thermalling techniques he showed me. Much easier than what I was doing before! Prop folds away into the nose.
@bviv first of all congratulations for your gliding videos personally are the best ive seen in the web...and i would like to see those themal technics which will be hellpfull for many people including me as i have just 40 hours and ive never recieved any lesson about thermaling and im very excited about this sport
@obaidCarkey its a self-launching glider, a glider that makes the use of an engine to get airbourne.

@skydawg98 the GoPro is a fantastic camera. The ContourHD is a good option as well, but I'd recommend the GoPro, just for versatility.
Fantastic vids @bviv! You've pretty much inspired me to take up soaring.

Another great video Bruno. I really appreciate the "instruction" and look forward to the thermalling video. Still haven't found the right ASW 20B.

is it pronounced "stem" or "stem-ee"? I never know. Ive always assumed the last "e" was silent.

Awesome video mate, AS USUAL!
So, how good is this beauty at gliding? And what happens to the prop? Is it somehow folding for reduced drag?
