I got the opportunity to fly a beautiful 15M racing class sailplane on a rest day of the 2009 18M Nationals in Ephrata, WA. This is just one of a few clips I recorded from the cockpit on my 5 hour long trip just east of the Cascade mountains, in an ASW-27.
Nice video. Is the variable tone in the background an audible variometer? If so, it makes a lot of sense. Can concentrate on maximizing lift and minimize eyes in the cockpit.
