  • My friends and I went on a travel-by-glider adventure. We flew from Hollister to Warner Springs, in California. The next day, we'll attempt to fly back.

    Awesome flight Ben! You got me thinking that maybe it’s time to get into gliders after 50 years of powered flight.

    Magnifique ! I came across one of your video last fall as I was about to fly my first solo. Your videos are so exciting to watch and keep me motivated as I train for my first solo cross country flight soon. Cheers from France !

    Great adventure Ben . It must have been very gratifying to make it after a few iffy situations. Thanks for your tips on how to incorporate SportsTrackLive into videos.

    thanks Ben for the thorough commentary. I'm looking to travel by glider this summer and I know my biggest problem will be unknown terrain. Fortunately we have a lot of landouts here in the alps. Gonna try to see southern France and come back to my home airfield in Switzerland. It's supposed to be an easy distance for my skill level (300km) but the sole idea of traveling makes it sooo thrilling!

      What's the vapour from before you land? Were you jettisoning water ballast for landing, or something like that?

    • @BenHirashima
      @BenHirashima  Месяц назад

      That's right, I was dumping the water ballast

    I just soloed in a glider for the first time today at CVH. Thanks for the inspiration!
    How many hours have you flown to be comfortable with XC adventures like this one?

    • @BenHirashima
      @BenHirashima  Месяц назад +2

      Congrats on the solo! I guess I'll see you around the airport. I have about 700 hours.

    Nice!
    I was very happy to be able to fly north with you the next day as far as Crystal before I returned to Warner as XΔ. (Video available on that)
    Looking forward to the return episode.
    What camera are you using ? My older generation 360 doesn’t have near the resolution

    • @BenHirashima
      @BenHirashima  Месяц назад

      It was good to fly with you, Bill! I use the Insta360 X3, but I upscale the footage to 4K using Topaz software.

    Just please balance volume of music and voice, had to fiddle with volume quite often.
