  • The glider was an Ozone M3 S, flown 20% over the max weight : was not very stable in big ears. The initial spiraling did not result in any altitude loss, just prolonging the inevitable. I started trying to loose altitude 3000ft below cloudbase and still got sucked in. Spiraling in the cloud resulted in a loss of control and locked in spiral but at least I dropped into the clear and then continued down more under control all the way to the ground : flight over due to safety and airspace reasons.

  • Looks like you're trying to escape the tractor beam of the dark alien mothership above you. So they didn't 'probe' you then.

    They got me.

    Bastards.

  • You have exhausted all lifts this season :) Is it M3 ? Why not big ears + speed ?

see all

  • This is not an attempt to spiral! The pilot is doing only 360's. At 3:30 the lift is between 5 and 6 m/s and is possible to escape in a 15 m/s spiral. Spiral = facing the ground. Pull it in harder!

  • I wonder if your 360 is a bit shy, isn't it ? Did you experiment a 360 with more angle in SIV ? ...A bit scary alone in nowhereland...

  • Holy crap that must have been scary

  • some day, i will try it.

  • Very cool pilot - loses some altitude with a spiraol and then points away from the cloud....but tend to agree big ears and bar would be my first choice at you move away form the clooud.

  • And ........ Relax ...... holy crap well done for keeping cool

  • One big black sucker..........Not nice!

  • Parabéns Grande Voador,

    Deus colocou anjos do seu lado, só fiquei aliviado quando vi que você já estava baixo e o vôo ficou calmo, cuidado com as nuvens CB, não dá pra brincar perto delas,

    Um abraço e bons vôos.
