I loved this,I don't normally get to the end.

That's a nice film.
Can you show the camera set up in the plane with some explanation around how you were working it?

It could even tempt me to have a go at slope soaring !!!?

AEB

Hi Stuart

Not my video I'm afraid.

You could try asking by posting a comment on the YouTube page.

This is my favourite and what got me started in Vintage Gliders, as soon as I saw the Fafnir I was hooked.
Unfortunately the guy who was posting has stopped doing so. Shame as his videos are fantastic some nice music too.

Awesome! I missed that one.

I think AEB should try and catch his Wien like the guy in this video.

Anyone fancy trying to hand launch 38kg of 10m span Wien off a slope for me as Phil suggests ???!

We should organise a visit?

Quite a long way!

Have we got anywhere in the UK like it?

All the slopes in the last vid are near Plomodiern and yes the sunsets can be spectacular.
If you are going you should go next weekend (Ascension holiday weekend) as the AVP Menez Hom hosts a 4 meter plus glider meeting. 50+ big gliders is quite a sight. No shortage of experienced launchers on hand.
This should give you a flavour

Back from a long weekend over the Ascension holiday at the Menez Hom in Brittany.
and
Weather baking on Thursday and Friday and not too bad on the Saturday.
Wind very light and then very light and confused on Saturday.
Not so much flying this year although Thursday was ok, but lots of talking. Good to meet John and Roisin and Ralph representing the Emerald Isles and expat Brian returning to flying after along layoff. And of course renew acquaintances with the locals and the usual Belgian contingent. It was great to see Eric Poulin hurling the 4 meter Air 100 around low, close and slow, always a joy to watch.
Looking forward to next year's 25th Anniversary RGP when hopefully the wind will blow and I will have been able to get a couple more 4 meter machines airworthy.
Dates for next years event will be 10th, 11th and 12th of May 2018.
See you there.
