Re: Weather sucks so why not watch some videos I posted a question to Bruno about that, he answered, that with 135 mph airspeed, he could quickly convert that to 2000 ft, plenty of height to land in the valley. Still a bit scary-- my son was flying across the Rockies to BC in clear weather in a Cessna, and got into a downdraft that he didnt think he was going to escape, even with full power. |

Re: Weather sucks so why not watch some videos Too much shut-in weather, so I load up a couple of favorite full size glider onboard videos, by Bruno Vassel over Utah. This one is ridge soaring at 130 mph right down close This one is wave soaring |
