Ridge Soaring Video from Last Friday.

[akite]

Hey All,
Here is a video one of the guys in our group of seven gliders that went out last Friday put together. We all departed from Logan, UT (KLGU) and several of the guys made it to Pocotello, ID and back. Enjoy the video!

Great stuff Adam. Now I know what that missed call on my cell is about.

Funny at one point Bruno says,"awesome footage, I cant wait to see it". So much for being in the moment!

That's a great video! Talk about "clear and a million" on the vis!

P.S.--On his "Gliding low save near Logan" video in the same glider, what is the control Bruno keeps adjusting on the left sidewall?

I think that's his flaps. In a flapped sailplane you lower the flaps to thermal, and when you want to go fast, you can reflex the flaps to a negative angle for better high speed performance.
