winsor68 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Blimey! They cut their final glides real short. My sphincter started contracting by 2.00 minutes in... The whole thing made so much more sense after he "arrived" at ground level and his competitors went shooting by at tree top height, most probably to make the airfield.

Old Koreelah Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Haven't seen a glide slope that flat in a while! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarly Gnu Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Flaring is over-rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Missed it by THAT much! But that's how it's done, no trying to stretch the glide by pulling the nose up, just keeping over landable fields and making a normal landing to fly another day. He hit some pretty bad sink near that hill by the looks which would have mucked up his calculations a bit. Anyone who hasn't done a ground effect run in a high performance glider really needs to experience it, one of the most impressive things I have experienced I reckon.
