Join me on a journey to discover what flying sailplanes is really like. I make videos about my glider flights that tell the full story and show the entire flight, in time-lapse. A flight of several hours can be shown in 10-15 minutes. 3D visualizations are used to show the glider climbing in thermals, and an overlay of my glide computer is used to show where I am and what is in range. Statistics such as climb rate, altitude gained, glide distance, speed, and glide ratio are shown in overlays. Voice-over commentary is standard. An analysis of how my flight compares to others flying with me is often included. At the end, I review and analyze the flight.
