Glider Bungee Launches Same Location 75 Years Apart
zhlédnutí 8KPřed měsícem
75 years ago it took a large team of people to launch a glider off our West slope onto the ridge using bungee chords. Today we still launch gliders using bungees on exactly the same slope. However, nowadays it only takes a couple of people.

Inside cockpit view of a winch launch in a Slingsby T49 Capstan at Camphill in Spring 2023. More eagle eyed viewers may spot what went wrong during this launch. The aircraft still achieved 800ft AGL and made a safe circuit and return to the airfield.
Eon Olympia 1 Car Launch Camphill Vintage Gliding.
zhlédnutí 2,1KPřed 4 měsíci
This is very old footage probably from around 1949 of an Eon Olympia 1 being launched by being towed by a vehicle down our ridge in a fairly brisk Westerley. As far as we're aware this isn't something which has been attempted in recent years. If the wind is favourable and we can find someone expendable to drive the Land Rover maybe it's one for this years event

A new student has their first attempt at controlling an aircraft in a Primary "Slider" Glider at Camphill in 1949. On this aircraft the fabric had been removed from the wings to prevent it from becoming airborne whilst still allowing the student to experience the effects of the controls.

zhlédnutí 9KPřed 7 měsíci
Rigging and flying a Primary Glider at Camphill in the 1930s. Constructed of wood, metal cables and cloth, these aircraft were inexpensive, very light and easy to fly. Primary gliders were generally launched by bungee cord, whereby a rubber rope was arranged in a "V" with the glider at the apex. The ends of the rope were pulled by hand to launch the glider from a slope as is demontrated in the ...

In the correct wind conditions we are able to launch gliders directly onto our West ridge using nothing more than a length of bungee chord. Hopefully this is something that our guests will get to try for themselves at this years Camphill Vintage Rally from 21st - 28th June 2024.

Can anyone answer me three questions: Q1/ What was the type of glider she goes solo in at 13:30 and Q2/ Did she have any dual instruction in any type of glider at all before the clip of her taking of at 13:30 and 3/ If not, how could the instructor be certain she wouldn't stall and or spin if she hadn't had any dual? I know the wing loading was very low in that type of glider, but even so...
Broomstick glider... teaching sailplane known as the besenstiel. #segelflug #sailplane
Endured this in the air cadets ....sank like a stone ..no like lead in water.... think this could exceed the terminal velocity of gravity theory ..but dont tell anyone ...o.k. Now "learning to fly" ' pink floyd' in an ask 21 ..oh German design of course ...as this in video was copied from the zedburg of course ...
How cool………..
The beauty of flight
I took up sailing. Given the same chances I think gliding would have been a better choice.
Apart from the deployed spoiler, was the rotate into climb a tad early?
I guess that manpower or is it community enthusiasm have become scarce nowadays.
Learned to fly in a Capstan way back in 1972. Happy days.
That's a brilliant idea, cutting out the centre wing cover to make a ground trainer.
1:07 Preflight check not done.
What a great looking vintage glider!
I did think the rate of climb was off. 😊
In 1968 I spent a year at an English boarding school. They had the Cadet Corp which trained kids in things military. The Air Force section did a Glider bungee launch demonstration on the cricket field. The glider did get airborne and flew for 60 feet or so. I thought, well that's one way to do it and headed off to find a secluded place to have a smoke.
Georgetown Texas 1970's ! Fault Line Flyers.
I've had but one glider flight. It was enough to let me know that gliding could be a life time of pleasure. However this life is not about forever. Perhaps in the next life...
I make a point of not doing this.
Wow, this brought back so many memories, both as a glider pilot, and as a winch driver. Winch launches are a lot of fun! Aerotows are better for altitude, but they are hard work for the glider pilot.
CBSIFCB Was what I was taught. Controls Ballast, Straps, Instruments, Flaps, Canopy Brakes. I flew in a Capstain a few times in the early 80s
Pause at 1:08 .. looks like an airbrake you can see below the left wing?
YES! I thought exactly the same thing!
That’s just what I came to post!
Yep, that aint supposed to be there :D
Impressive! Thanks for sharing.
Airbrakes open, foget to check, close and lock during the preflight check.. This is why we use checklists these days and have done away with these acronyms to rember by hart (In Dutch.. SKISTOK, Startplaats vrij?, Kap gesloten en gelocked, Instrumenten, Stuurorganen, Trim, Ontkoppelhaak, Kleppen gesloten en gelocked) Also because sailplanes have become more complicated and every model has its own checklists.
A checklist is a checklist, its form is immaterial. I have used written checklists, challenge and response, electronic checklists and done checklists from memory. I have witnessed and omitted items from each type. What I have noticed is that the greater the number of pointless things that are added to lists, the greater the number of important things that are omitted. On takeoff, the big ticket items are controls, ballast, canopy, harness and brakes. Landing its just ballast and gear. Why all the other bollocks has to creep in is beyond me. Omit the crap and focus on the big stuff.
Nice! And what a beautiful day. Great video.
Wonderful video!
Lovely people from a lovely time.
A beautiful classic glider. Great video...keep them coming.
Nice to see the sky flying
Smoking a pipe 4 inches from a doped fabric tailplane - H&S what H&S - seriously it's great that old material like this survives. My parents, sister and I used to go to Camphill for Sunday picnics, in those days you could buy a round cardboard badge and go onto the airfield, watch and eat. Many of the gliders, mostly Olympias, had names like "Edale and "Blue John" and a friend of my dad had built one mainly from scrapped parts as I understand it called "Jack O'Winnats" I think his name was Fred Breeze. That was 67/68 years ago but I occasionally go up there to the viewing area to watch the newer composite aircraft flying. It's all fenced off now, as it should be, but the memories quite quickly return. Thanks a lot for posting this. (Just seen another of your videos and "Edale" is featured - I must check them all )
Looks like fun!
Common mistakes ...Spoilers on take off ..🙄
When I was a kid in the early 60's, there were bungee/tow motor launching of vintage gliders like these at Harvey Young Airport - a small multi hangar grass strip FBO a few miles East of Tulsa, OK. Also Aeronca Champion tow planes took up Schweitzers in the summertime, spending whole afternoons flying over eastern Tulsa.
Fantastic thanks!
Flew K4 at 1971 Camphill Vintage Glider Rally. Then went on to fly K4 and K13 at Morridge. John.FAI,/BGA 61417.
Flew K8s at the Dorset Gliding Club. Delightful little Glider.
That's a bloody long bungee!!
Ooops. Corrected now. Thanks Anne.

Memories of my early days of gliding in the 1960's. T21b, T21c , T49 and T45. Still gliding and flying 57 years later. T21 to K21! John. FAI/BGA 51417 25/08/1968.
Airbrakes open?
Yes looks like it ?
Yeah I saw that. And the airbrakes on a Capstan are prettty powerful...
Hmm.What did I miss?
Pause at 1:08 . Airbrake visible below left wing.
Lovely. That's real flying!
Wish I were there...
This why I learned to fly as a kid in the Seventies, to do what the birds do. Less is more, simple is best. And this old-school soaring epitomizes it. So now I have thousands of hours in airplanes, but still only a couple of glider rides. However, as a fire patrol pilot in the Rockies, I do manage to soothe that itch on occasion by pulling back the throttle on windward slopes. Back when I flew freight, I'd sometimes find myself in the tremendous lift of cold fronts and thunderstorms straddling my course; though at flight idle, I'd hit Vmo, abandon my assigned altitude and soar while I had the opportunity. I apologized to ATC, but in the sparse traffic of the Great Plains, they didn't mind. I figure they knew I was just enjoying myself.
Amazing old glider.
Never did Bungee . Lots of winch and about 100 aerotows ..
The year before I was born, my father was employed by Chilton in Hungerford to rework and redesign Hans Jacob's Meise to comply with UK aerobatic standards. It added another 80 to 100lbs. A year or so after the first flight around 1946, EoN took over the production of what was the Olympia.
Got a few hours on the Oly 2B myself!
it was awesome seeing the glider launch...but then the music was so damn dramatic that I shat meself
