May 16, 2009 - coming in to land at Cedar Valley, Utah in an ASW-20B glider. Shows spot picked out on runway and desired stopping point. Most people don't think a glider (sailplane) can be so controllable.

  • Which mount did you use, was it the suction mount? did you mount that near the vertical stabilizer on the tail portion? I have a permanent mount on the inside and have gotton some very nice movies. would love to know the stability of you tail mount and any effects on aerodynamics

  • @mikgadhoke I built a fiberglass cuff that went over leading edge of vertical fin just above the pitot tube. Worked great and I could not feel any difference in the cockpit. I would not put anything on leading edge of horizontal stab - as always do any mod at your own risk.

  • nice landing! but did you want to descent faster? you pulled the airbrakes(if that's the right word we call it 'kleppen') in a turn!

  • Good catch. You are completely right. It is better not to adjust spoilers or flaps in a turn in case only one of them works getting you into an asymmetrical situation while turning. Good reminder.

  • Great video, but also great sound! I love the wind noise!

  • nice landing! what was the landing speed? i don't understand that people think a glider can't be flown like any other plane.. and they ask things like: what if there's no wind? blabla..

    thanks for the great videos!

  • i like ur videos

  • spoilers! that was the word i was searching for;. you're welcome i'm learning to fly so i have to watch these things or otherwise i'll get some shouts from the instructor in the back haha( but i never did this wrong:P)

    ps I like your vids! keep up the good work!

  • Nice landing m8

  • Nice one. On the mark. Love the scenery. Wish we had some hills close :)
