50 Mile flight

Very short video of my fourth flight in my new glider and I go 50 miles and land near Weiss Lake in Alabama!
I'm loving this new glider. Maxed out at about 7,400' in elevation.

1. very nice!

2. how do you get back to where you stated? just glide back?

3. how do you not shit your pants that high up?

Ha

1. Thanks

2. Call someone, hopefully you've already worked that out (get a driver before you go and stay in radio contact while flying)

3. It's more fun than scary, and once you're up that high, it's more surreal - very fun

4- check out my other videos, the most recent ones like hang gliding compilation is way better than this vid - thanks for watching!

Glad your prize winning wing is giving you so much joy!

[alta8bird]

Thanks - it is for sure! Saw my glory ring yesterday!

Congrats on the flight.

Where do you usually fly?  I usually fly from Kagel in Sylmar, CA.

Hey abinder3, I live at Lookout Mountain in Georgia so I fly here all the time. I'd like to make it out west sometime soon though. Don't forget to subscribe to my videos!

Whats the song name?

@alta8bird Re 3: Have you ever been in a air 'void' when your hanglider is suddenly falling down a bit. That's adrenaline provocing. Actually Alexspazzz' question goes deeper. Is it fun you experience(the one you feel when watching comedy) or adrenaline?

Nice Australian wing in The States. I didn't think that happend. Bet you have had a few more good flights since.
