      The London Gliding Club is based at Dunstable Downs in Bedfordshire - a considerable distance from central London. The main constraint is actually that of regulated and controlled airspace. All flying from the site is subject to strict operational procedures agreed with NATS in addition to the Air Navigation Order, which is the governing law.

    This is me! :) I was pilot in command in the seat closest to you! The T.21 is unusual in that it has only one spoiler lever on the centre console, handled by either pilot (depending on whos in control). When sat in the left seat, it requires you to fly with opposite hands to any other gliders that I know of (which is usually stick right hand, airbrake lever in the left). It was a blustery day, so nice to see this landing from an outside view and that it looked OK despite being flown left handed! Thankyou for sharing it! Our restaurant (the Fly by Cafe) and picnic area are available for the public to visit, come down sometime!

    Flying these old sailplanes and their revival is outstanding. As a boy in the early 60's my interest began at a small airport (Harvey Young - grass strip) 5:31 east of Tulsa, OK. Watching Schwietzers being towed and flying on summertime thermals all afternoon. Also winch towing a WW II Canadian trainer to fly the pattern. I also learned to fly here as well as Jones Riverside Airport (Tower, ILS, FBO). Wonderful days...now just a memory.

    • @stefanastley

      We have a great collection at the London Gliding Club, all privately owned. The only flying Rhonsperber and also a Minimoa both in excellent condition. We have a T.31 a Prefect and several types of Ka6. There is also a Silene awaiting return to service. David Underwood (son of the great Peter Underwood) currently retains Peter's collection of Kirby Kites not far away too. They have been maintained and returned to flying standard I believe but have not flown recently. No stuff from the US or Canada but I guess that stuff rarely made it over here! The T.21 recently returned to flying after the long-term owner sadly passed away, we now have his name on the glider. He had it recovered in around 2012 and it is still in excellent condition. Prior to that it was the original covering from 1948 believe. Sounds like you certainly had better weather for it than we did, we get around 1000ft AGL from our winch launches which is enough for a decent circuit but not much more unless the ridge is working at LGC! The lucky ones catch a low thermal, which is of course very satisfying...

    • @kaihorstmann2783
      @kaihorstmann2783 8 месяцев назад

      It depends on several factors: - length of cable laid out. That is between 800 and 1500 m typically. Some few locations can use up to 3000m with polyethylene Fiber ropes (steel would be too heavy). - wind speed. Stronger head wind supports the kite effect of the winch, thus resulting in higher release altitudes. - weight of the airplane. A light wooden youngtimer at 300kg gross gets more release altitude than a loaded two-seater at 700 kg. All that said usual release altitudes are between 300-450m. Except for the extreme long tow lengths up to 3000m. Here release altitudes of >=1000m can be reached. This can substitute aerotow for aerobatic programs, and greatly reduce cost and improve speed of operation.
