Yeah, I'm getting more sentimental as I age and respectful of tradition and memories both for me and others. So I think we are on a similar page there.my lady tells me I'm a serial hoarder!!I keep everything, documents, photos, books, furniture, wines from the last century, from my family. I spend great evenings there, reading, watching, ordering... it's memory, it's history...
Like WoW Dood! That's incredble. A glider pilots' paradise for sure. So interesting to see so many aligned in that manner. That must have a been a hoot and a very proud moment.
The only thing I can think of to understand the performance envelope differences is motorcycle dirt bikes that I've owned. I went from a pure dirt not road legal enduro ride 175cc 2 stroke Honda to a 2 stroke Suzuki RM125 motocross racing ride that cost muchO more, is all lightweight exotic materials, has interesting geometry of the design and it was a totally different ride. The performance envelope of the RM125 was extreme, required strong skills and good confidence in the operation of it. I was wheelying long distance, jumping huge stuff as I hucked off major jumps never imaginable before and hill climbing very steep slopes that where massively tall like hundreds of meters that I never imagined possible with the enduro style Honda 175 2 stroke. The big weight disparity was a major factor in the change and the improved suspension was night and day. So I imagine those expensive new improved gliders can do some really rad stuff.
He the 18 year old is going to have a very intriguing interesting life ahead for sure. He's off to a great start that is only going to get better. Lotsa fun I bet!
Gentlemen, start your engines...
No plans, just wishful thinking. If you want to buy a new one, put down a deposit and wait a couple of years for it to be built and shipped from Europe or South Africa. Most being built now include either a sustainer (keep you up) or self-launching electric or gas engine. I doubt there are any "in stock" anywhere in the US. And if there are, they would probably command a premium price for being available right now.
Yes, I saw YouTube videos about that motorized glider stuff after I viewed video that you posted I was linked to other YouTube videos and I was hours into watching glider videos..LoL... Interesting stuff.
Those look to be very old, I mean really old wine barrels!
