Where is it?
Ah! That's funny
So here we have a rather interesting glider It's got the horizontal
stabilizer in front of the vertical, a little bit of wing tilt, and our attempt
today is to try to lose this in a thermal and this is going to be its
maiden launch.
Let's see how it works.
Brad- Woah, it went high!
Bruce- That's a dart.
Brad- It went hight. Bruce- Yeah!
Brad- That has Potential.
Brad- It's not going to do it though.
Bruce- You need some weight.
Bruce- Now, there it turns.
Brad- Ha, ha... Had height!
All right. We got pretty much uh I guess a smoke canister of sorts. We're trying to
see where thermals are. The wind is pushing backwards! What the wind doesn't
go this direction. It switched on us. Okay it's trying to smoke us out. Yeah once it
gets high enough you can't-- oh, look at the swirls. Okay hard you
probably can't see that on camera though. Yeah I'll
launch my glider... fishing for thermals you think of the easy. Bruce- yeah.
Alright we're going to try to lunch see what happens.
Oh, here comes the smoke. Boo-yeah! that didn't go very high.
Brad- It's had a moment to rest and now it's lousy. I'm getting smoked out. (cough!)
Here we go, double bands, too!
Bruce- I lost it. Oh, I see it. You might lose it, you just might lose it.
Brad- Watch the sun.
Brad- Coming back to us. Bruce- a little left. Oh, oh, it's fighting it!
Bruce- You got that sucker trimmed in good.
Brad- Maybe a little more weight.
Bruce- A tad, not a whole lot if any. A good, good flight.
Brad- okay Bruce has a pretty cool glider and, uh...
still trying to hit that thermal. Any success Bruce? Bruce- almost. Getting
real close. Brad- Flies pretty nice let's do it go! Oh, where is it? I couldn't find it.
Bruce 3, 2, 1. Brad- Come on, do it, will ya?
Bruce- It's going to be a chaser.
Brad- Yeah, you're going to be following it.
Brad- Oh man down the field. I can't quite see it, though.
Almost to the parking lot... and touchdown.
Bruce- You have to chase this one a little Brad- Going over the bleachers. Pick up will ya, or just
drop here and end it.
Brad- Where is it?
Ah, that's funny!
Brad- It's hooked!
Bruce- yeah I see. It's been catching in the trees and never in the fence--
bleachers like that. Brad- I don't know if I could ever do that again if I tried.
Brad- It's got quite the tail to hook it on but somehow it hit and just went (shonk!)
Look, even then it could fall off pretty easily. Bruce and the wind was holding it.
Brad right there, nailed it, right in the crevice.
Bruce- 3, 2, 1.
Brad- where is it going? Watch out trees. Nice, nice, dodge!
Look at that crazy flight. Bruce- yeah.
Brad- it's all over the place. It's hitting things.
Bruce, I know oh it's a weird one there.
Brad- What an ending... good show!
I'm tired it's hot out here. Sweaty. Not having too much success as
far as hitting thermals that'll take our planes away so finally lost one into
those woods... sort of a boundary of trees between two properties and I probably
shouldn't have been going through those, so, I'm bound to get that poison ivy.
Oh good spot he's got one flying up here. where is it?
Could this be? Is this it? Is it going up? Get away, bee!
I can't film with this bee bugging me.
Yeah it's coming down but...
Oh, he's not happy with me... He's chasing me!
Get away bee! Gosh Bruce longest flight ever.
Bruce- It's still up climbing...
Bruce- Time to hanger up. I think we got everything.
I'm burnt how about you? sunburned?
Oh I don't know I'm probably cooked... medium, or
medium-rare. or raw... I mean well. Brad, I am well done, thank you very much .
Brad & Bruce- Until next time...
Brad- Did we just say that at the same time? That's hilarious!
