How disappointing the guy who removed the camera didn't have the obvious understanding that probably everyone watching this video would like to see the whole glider at least at end of the video.
a little googling revealed the following Wikipedia articles with pics. and info.: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DFS_SG_38_Schulgleiter de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SG_38
The glide ratio of this glider is listed as 10:1. A modern hang glider like a Wills Wing T2 is listed as 14:1. Hats off to the pilot. I hope he goes on to a fun and rewarding life in aviation.
RAF Bister air base in the early 70's, I saw one of these "basic trainers" take flight and, if I recall, one had to have 500 hours flying time in gliders before they'd let you fly it !!!! Unfortunately, I saw that flight end badly as he tried to land but misjudged the wind and ended up in some bushes, nose down! What a hoot! I was learning to fly at the time with the RAFGSA at RAF Wattisham. That's where the CFI, Eric, gave me the nickname of "Spamcan" (because I was in the USAF). Cheers !
Super !! Der Mut eines 15-jährigen! Ich selbst bin eine SG 38 vor 45 Jahren ( als 24-jähriger ) bei einer Flugshow geflogen und musste dabei viel Mut aufbringen, obwohl ich damals schon mehr als 350 Stunden auf verschiedenen Segelflugzeugtypen ( KA 8, K 7, K 13 und KA 6 und nicht zu vergessen Doppelraab ) hatte.
For thousands of years man dreams of flying like a bird. It is amazing to think it is only just over one hundred years since we achieved that dream. This video gives us some idea what it feels like to realise that dream without being enclosed by a cockpit 😮👌🙏🇬🇧♥️
Notice the amount of forward stick it took to stay down on the tow-plane. We had a primary at Black Forest Gliderport in Colorado and one day after operations had stopped, all the instructors took turns flying it
gut gemacht Jung. I flew an earlier version of the SG about 20 years ago. unlike you we only had a winch launch so you can guess how quickly I was back on the ground. nevertheless an experience never to be forgotten. makes you appreciate the comfort of fibreglass:-) :-) I wish you many many more safe landings.
fantastic to see flying, I came across these in an aviation book i got at about 11 years old and thought i could build one, so is great to see the old machines being built.

Thank you very much for sharing this Supermega Video. This one, if he is a real pilot, should be hired by American Airlines, continue to give an example to those pilots who are just pretty children. Do not let the channel die, keep going in these feats.

Great video, and this young man is getting a great start to a career in aviation. I started at his age in gliders as well. What I learned there still serves me well today. It really teaches the fundamentals, and there isn't anything with wings much more fundamental than a SG-38. He'll be with Lufthansa in a few short years!

Great chunk of nostalgia...As a boy in Germany (My dad was with the RAF stationed at Whan, near Cologne) in the 50's and I bought and flew an SG 37. If I remember right it cost me ten pounds from a ground-crew airman due to return to the UK . Great little bird, I flew it maybe six times, then dad banned me. Saw the American U2 when it came to refuel.. nearly shot by the "security" mob long after it left...
His left hand kept reaching for something to grab. :) Can't blame him a bit! lol. So, so, so different than piloting in the cockpit. Holy cow, that looks fun! Good job, young man and congratulations!
Although this was published about 5 years ago, I hope the kid (20 year old dude now) still flies and enjoys it now just as much as he did back then. Awesome flight ;)
the SG-38 is solid as a rock and very safe. I had the privilege to fly one.. Compared to something like a flying chair, it's build is substantial. I don't think you could break one.
My Dad got his RAF glider pilot's wings on one of these just after the war. The ex German Air Force instructor was excellent according to my father and had a small queue of NCO's lined up for instruction.
Only scary for the ignorant. When flying, having more vehicle wrapped around you doesn't equal more safety...just a bigger splat. What safety there is comes from learning to control your craft. Hard to imagine a better platform to learn that. :-)
Epic! It looks as if the tug aircraft is flying slightly too fast for him but maybe it couldn't fly any slower! Reminds me of my first solo flight which was in a single seater I had never flown before. It's unofficial name was the Flying Tea Tray. Very different flying characteristics to the glider I had been taught in.
A perfect illustration of HOW to fly because the stick and rudder inputs are all clearly visible. This should be shown to all novice pilots pre-flight.

@@WolkenstecherI soloed in a Piper Cherokee on my 40th. 35 years of having my family and friends and co-workers telling my I couldn't fly a plane. Used to practice "landings" on that tall hill north of SLC#2. Would let off the accelerator in that Volvo at just the right time and then lightly tap the brakes till the stop sign. My instructor though I was getting extra hours because my landings had gotten so smooth. So I took him for a ride in my station wagon 😅. If you want to fly DON'T listen to the naysayers!

@@peterweber1174 ...and in a glider, you always know *exactly* how many engines you will have available at the time of your landing. That's not the case in any powered plane you can name.
The same as you have on. Why? He had fun and this wan't a scare thing as he knew what he wanted to do! Now I wonder how his flying life is going? Great control of a basic fly by the seat of your pants aircraft as that thing I thing only had an altimeter! He did better than some adults on their first solo flight!
"Glider clubs" used the same glider in the 1930s to provide primary flight training to future Luftwaffe pilots, skirting the Versailles treaty restrictions on aircraft. I noticed a bunch of stick pitching- the CG location on such a machine would likely be very much a matter of pilot weight. The kid looked pretty skinny, so maybe he was constantly trying to keep the airspeed up. Pure stick and rudder!
I am an old pilot and I tell you this young man flying this glider will make him a top pilot. He is flying by the seat of his pants, and this is whay makes good pilot. Congratulations,
That is the Pressure and Joy inside, that makes him Scream ;-) I think flying with this old Beginner Sailplane is a very Special Feeling, maybe a little Bit like Flying an Hangglider..

Reminds me of my first solo flight which was in a single seater I had never flown before. It's unofficial name was the Flying Tea Tray.

The towing aircraft was a Piper PA18 Super Cub flying as slowly as possible, for the SG38 it is a high speed ride 😊
That’s the craziest looking thing I have ever seen
Holy hell! Easily one of the best videos on RUclips.....
Johnny Komatsu thanks a lot!
Germans have been flying these gliders since the 20s at least.
The laughter says it all ! Fantastic.

"Glider clubs" used the same glider in the 1930s to provide primary flight training to future Luftwaffe pilots, skirting the Versailles treaty restrictions on aircraft.

The kid looked pretty skinny, so maybe he was constantly trying to keep the airspeed up. Pure stick and rudder!
