Title: Tungubakkar - 17.August 2014
Post by: selleri on August 20, 2014, 15:51:32 PM

Had a large scale fly-in last weekend and did some aerotowing. Conditions were very good this time and the flight this clip is from was about 17 minutes before I decided to come down, could have stayed up for ages!    :D

Only trouble with my 33% DG-800 are the narrow wings, they tend to disappear, really must get some dark colour on the underside! I lost sight of it for a few moments around 3:08, hence the wing dance.

Don’t think your pilot was very impressed with your wing dancing Sverrir, he tried to jump out a couple of time after that! :D

(May be he decided to stay put when he remembered he didn’t have a parachute. :lol: )

Nice little video and what lovely weather for it.

LK.

I'm surprised he lasted so long Keith!   :wink:

The conditions were fantastic that day!

Oh my God! No jacket?  :P  :P

Nice flying, and looks like the pilot had fun in the cockpit waving away  :D
