  • how fast do they go?

  • In this video my airspeed is probably in the 25mph range for the majority of this flight. If I were to pull in to try and quickly leave an area of sinking air I wouldn't want to take this particular glider faster than 50mph. With higher-performance wings you can pull in and reach speeds of 80-90 mph.

  • Great vid, my favourite part of HG is flying around cloud, did you see your glory?

  • Yes I did for the first time too on this flight.

  • Very nice... A side comment, isn't flying through clouds against VRF?

  • Yes we're to remain clear of cloud and within specific separation parameters under VFR (Visual Flight Rules). Parameters that were clearly breached on this day due to this weather anomaly. Also this flight wasn't through the clouds but over-the-top.

  • Such a trip! .... A really wonderful film. Cheers from the UK!

  • Thanks how much would a high proformance one cost and is it hard to learn how to fly?

  • Nice flying mate...well done !

  • fantastic. Hang gliding must be the best feeling in the world. I really hope to get into it one day

  • Ahh, I thought I saw the pilot descend through a cloud, but very nice video in any case.
