Hang Gliding: Thermaling up at McClellan, between Carson City and Reno, NV
I haven't seen much footage of hang gliders thermaling up at eye-level, so I thought
I'd upload this. If I remember right I think the average climb rate of that thermal
was around 600 feet per minute FPM. 'gotta love the high desert!
Note the PIO's following launch. It was a new wing and I wasn't used to it's roll
response.

Learning To Fly
After 2 weeks of flight training on a Schleicher ASK-21 glider, I got the chance to try some aerobatics near Lake Tahoe!
A glider, or sail plane, does not have an engine and must be towed with a rope by a powered plane before being released. It's fuel is altitude and gravity, slowly descending at a 30:1 slope.
You can gain altitude by finding and circling around an invisible column of rising air called a Thermal, or Lift, but it takes skill and luck. Eagles do this all the time, circling around thermals without needing to flap their wings.
This video was shot with one GoPro Hero3+ and edited with GoPro Studio. Music is the iPhone 6 (Trailer).
