Glider flies 100km in just 36 minutes (uncut)

This flight takes us along a line of lift to Marienthal, Namibia. Watch closely as I try to max out the 60-minute average speed calculated by our flight computer. This value is my primary indication of how we are performing on various phases of the flight. Here we achieved 150-160kph averaged over the 60 minute period, which was about twice of what I am used to in Germany. This means, that 100km of distance is dealt with in just over an half an hour. With real cloudstreets or convergences, 60-minute speeds can excess the 200kph mark! Key to success is a precise flying style, not brute force speeding. Try to anticipate the vario movements, slow down and speed up consequently and in the right moments. Circle only if needed and in the strongest lifts. If the lift doesn't feel right, abort and continue. Don't be distracted by windshear causing a vario movement (still one of my weaknesses!). Also pay attention to the flap positions, although they are not even closely as important as the factors above. Four hours before sunset, at 15:45, we had already flown 600km which meant completing the 1000km challenge on that day was a piece of cake judging by what lay ahead of us. In the end, the final glide turned out to be more difficult than we thought, but thats material for another video:) Flight track: https://www.weglide.org/flight/358009 Camera: https://www.insta360.com/de/product/i...
