Ellenville 2023-05-06 Flight #2 highlights
Просмотров 215Год назад
My first day of flying in 2023, second flight. Lots and lots of PGs, HGs were represented too. Took a fat cushy thermal to 4100' where I was joined by vultures, flew to the doctor's house as the wonder winds set in, which kept wondering past sunset. Boated across the valley and crossed Rt. 209, then back to the LZ to make circuits then put new grass stains on my jeans. I'm out of shape, my cont...

Can anybody just go up there to watch or no
Vehicle access is restricted to wavered pilots but it's ok to walk up.
Beautiful view of mountains grew up in that town in 1980 to 1997.Great memories.Thank for posting
Thanks for sharing!!! Are the flights usually on the weekend afternoons? Would would to check out people flying:)
Hey Ed... Ellenville is a W-NW site, any day that's not rainy with 5-10 MPH surface winds (north to northwest) is a good bet to see flying happening. On weekends you're more likely to see flyers, but there are pilots who fly mid-week. Also, the best air here tends to be in the afternoon, so that's the best time to come, though there will be some pilots flying from dawn to dusk if conditions permit.
@@MichaelStrother Thanks Michael:)
Thank you for sharing this footage, Michael!
...I was also there among numerous others...nice lifty-enough air from 6pm onward.
You had some great ridge lift:) Nice flight.
Very cool to have the instruments on screen. This could make a nice training video.
Sweeet
Awesome
Omg wow wow
What are you using to get the on-screen telematics in your videos?
Telemetry Overlay, data from the GoPro 10 on the keel. goprotelemetryextractor.com/
@@MichaelStrother Thanks... a bit pricy but probably worth it.
Nice compilation Mike!
Dang!!! What a way to experience the gunks. This is far more efficient than the occasional hike we would do from Ellenville to Rosendale. 😂😂😂
Was the Telemetry taken from the "Go Pro"?
Yes.
Where is this place??
Ellenville, NY
would love to know the HUD dashboard tech solution?
The software is called Telemetry Overlay; telemetry data source is the GoPro footage.
How did you create the hud display?
Telemetry Overlay.
@@MichaelStrother Was that from the Go Pro?
make it look so easy! Thanks for the HUD--love the dashboard!
Looks dangerously fun!! 😁
Great flying ,, Say hello to Tony C
Hi Michael, What is the rope or string used for on right hand side of some hand gliders? what does it adjust? Here's a hand gliding video I thought you might like: ruclips.net/video/aYhF8ZrSHqM/видео.html
That's the VG (variable geometry) adjustment. Tightening or loosening this changes the angle of the leading edges. Tightening increases the glide performance at the expense of responsiveness.
I can watch this forever
Are folks still flying Talcott? Every time I go there I never see any sign of activity. I flew there in the 80's and 90's. I had a W.W Sport 167!!
Yes it's actively flown by the CHGA club when conditions are appropriate. Less than a week ago conditions were prime and a few pilots had multi-hour flights.
Good progress. Thanks for sharing this good lesson soi others can see how throwing your legs forward keeps you from a full flare.
Thanks for the great Vids brother! I was an original member of SNYHGPA back in the day. We always went to the Eagles Nest after a day of flying!
Thank you for the great vids Bro. Was an original member of your club, back in the day. SNYHGPA...
It looked much nicer from above before they added those ugly solar panels in the nearby field. That’s one less place to land if I miss the airport.
Wow that take off is so much faster than scooter towing and flying a mosquito harness.
Nice video, great memories on this site back in the 90s, many winter flights and top landings :)
I thought it looked familiar... What a gem to find
Phenomenal! Great flight and landing. And thanks for the credit. It's nice to know someone flies over them. I'll try to fix that scuzzy terrain west of the KR Bridge; it's due to the photogrammetry and sat photos. I'll have to make a road and put it on top.
BTW that comment wasn't a critique of your efforts. These bridges are awesome as they are.
@@MichaelStrother I know. But it helps to have some form of feedback. Again, thanks for your video; I love it!
Looks right to me!
incredible
wow.
Wow, that scenery looks so picturesque, especially when seen at altitude. I thought those places only existed in childhood fairy tales.
Do they do HG training out there anymore?
Mountain Wings is still teaching.
@@MichaelStrother Thank you. I'll be touching base with them.
Nice . Think our club is waiting on a winch , looks good
Good flare at 2:03 (remaining)
Sweet!
Does the winch operator jerk the pilot forward when they take up tension prior to launch? Jerking the line weakens the weak link. It's better when there is a turnaround pulley and the winch operator is next to the takeoff area and slowly visually removes the slack, then the pilot takes a step back to complete the line tension instead of the line dragging the pilot forward.
Pilots were trying to step backwards to create tension, but we did it both ways. This tow the power was very inconsistent, not surprised that it broke.
Great vid.where did you guys get your over under release?
A guy in our club makes them.
Actually thinking more on this, the one used in this video was sold to our club by Michael Robertson (Canada), but there is a fellow in our club who makes a really beautiful variation of this design.
This video is too short. This is out of character for you Mike.
Ricardo made a great cut of his flights, hopefully you got to see it.😄
what is the winch attached to? a vehicle or ?
This is a static winch mounted on a trailer.
Nice
Yikes what a place to fly......
Was this shot with a GoPro?
GoPro 9 with the lens mod.
Wow. That was a lot of pilots.. was it an especially good day?
It was a weird day... forecast looked a lot better than it turned out, many showed up (parking was overflowing). Just the same there were good cycles and pilots who enjoyed getting above the ridge for 90 minutes or more. I made a tactical error after getting above the ridge and later was dodging traffic in front of launch and ended landing sooner than I would have liked, but fun just the same.
Ohh you got my landing too! Last one :)
Everyone cheered ya when you landed. I was there too still
I've aways wondered what ellenville looked like to you guys flying around up there
It is an amazing site and yesterday the sky was full of HG and PGs!
