Very cool vid and a very nice place to fly, sadly there are no sites like this in the Netherlands, I need a lot of volts and KV's to achieve such speeds here..............
Haven't seen such a enjoyable DS video like this in a while. Thanks for sharing that with us. Question for you. I have a BPV wizard myself and was wondering if you know of any folks switching to 2.4 on this ship? Currently I have a 72 MHz and been tossing and turning about going 2.4. I see you're running the 72MHz as well. I don't recall if the nose and Fuse are CF.
@wmcneal42 - 200 is nothing these days. Some of us went 300+mph there, three days in a row. Highest speed of the week for this hill was 393mph with a 100" Kinetic.
Why no motor? I think this thing DOES have a motor or doesnt it?
Secondly, and at the maker of this video: I was quite disappointed you didnt put the HD Hero on the plane. Why didn´t you? And my recommendation: Do get a rycote windshield for your ZOOM H2. People might just begin to understand you. ;-)
@taxiuniversum - No motor. It's called dynamic soaring. Do a search.
If you want to see an HD camera on a sailplane, look at my latest video.
Problem is you have to fly *very* smoothly for it to look good. On this DS plane it would just be ground, sky, ground, sky, ground sky.. nothing recognizable.
As for the wind shield. It had one. The people you heard talking were 40-50 feet away. I didn't talk anywhere in the video, while close to the Zoom H2.
Well sorry, and thank you. I did research it, didn´t quite grasp the concept yet but now I see what you´re talking about. I have to say: This is one of the most amazing things I found on YouTube lately! Wow!
Did you use a Rycote shield? I think they are worlds better than the shield supplied with the H2 (I just bought mine).
Cheers, and thanks again! I will look into your other video now. Check into YouTube "R/C airplane with Pilot teddy bear HDV video" - it´s fun! =D
@hagfelsh I've never made an onboard video of DSing. Others have, and generally it's not that interesting. Just ground, sky, ground, sky, ground, sky, and lots of shaking.

That is one "unkempt" video. =p

@Ricom69 All the BPVs I owned or seen of have carbon fuses. I can't speak to those made
in the last year or so. I'd be leery of using 2.4Ghz on this plane, unless I had good
telemetry to tell me the quality of the signal.

Can someone post a link to the Weldon location so that we can locate it on Google earth...?

Awesome stuff!, do you have GPS coordinates of the site so that we can locate it on Google earth?

Amazing, great to see you working all the slope as well, I can't believe I watched 10 minutes of glider footage :-)

Very nice work. Usually you miss the sound due to wind noise, but this sounds wicked - looks great too :-)

@daemn42 Ian, I couldn't find an on-board video of DS.. did you remove it, or am I confused?

@daemn42 Yeah I suppose it's pretty rough at that speed. What an amazing thing to do with a plane though, wow!! How did you learn this art?

Thanks for sharing the experience, especially the true sound from these planes.
