From one extreme to the other

Here is a great video of a old guy with just a basic 2 channel glider and dated radio gear. No slope or bungee or even a DLG launch but just a good old heave into the air from a flat field. Just goes to show what's possible......

Then we have the other end of the glider spectrum. A hi-tech 3.0m DLG which looks so light and sleek in the air. Modern materials and the latest technology. They both are very impressive.

And here is the top end of flat field flying with just an amazing demonstration of how to fly RC gliders. The control this guy has and obvious flying skills make me envious but that what makes him a World Champion I suppose. Wonder how much this glider costs?

Hope you enjoyed the video's.............
