- Having another go at sloping with my Brother. (He was flying the black and gold Sinbad) We found it's important to have two gliders that fly at about the same speed. These two seem nicely matched.

As a seasoned RC glider pilot I love the slow laid back non-competitive vibe here. Just some beautiful vintage gliders flitting and floating together on the slope. ❤
Watched this video on my big screen TV and even my wife said WOW! Perfect pairing of the two planes. Tight formation. Well done.
Thank you!
Just like watching a couple of puppies roll and tumble on the grass! "Wait for me; wait for me!".
Mesmerizing... Kudos to the cameraman who did an excellent job! As well as the choice of music!
How much "fun" can two people have ....just magnificent.....well done to both pilots.
It really is a new art-form. Never seen anything like it.
This channel never fails to put a smile on my face.... wonderful stuff 🙂
You've outdone yourself again John, just fantastic ! Your brother's no mean pilot too😀👍
Your vids are so relaxing to view. I have a 30 year old gentle lady time to give powered flight a little rest lol
Beautiful video, and a nice taste for music, as well
Amazing scenery it’s like gliding straight into an oil painting!
A stunning video,the gliders look like Dolphins playing in a reef,following each other in unisom.
Very very beautiful.
I love the grace of that! Thank you! 🙏
Wow! I am totally under the spell of your play! Sublime clip! A perfect harmony of movement and music! You really are artists! Thank you 🤗🎵🙏♥️🎶😊💕
Thank you!
Love, love, love your vids! Thanks for letting me ride along.
Thank you for watching!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on YT, and that counts for a LOT!
Thank you!
I was laughing out loud! Great to see you and your brother having so much fun! Thirty-seven years ago I accidentally hit my brother in the forehead with my Gentle lady wing while slope soaring! We still laugh about it.
Amazing scenery, thumbs up
John, you were showing off when you caught both of them 😀. Fantastic flying, brilliant control, very inspiring
Yet another Monday in the bin.... thanks very much John - just a lovely video
A beautiful and harmonious duet.
Cheers from Calcutta India
Just fantastic John. Thats my valium for the evening. :-)
Superb formation flight.Superb music! Very relaxing.Thanks a lot!
spectacular imaginery yet so harmonic - as if you were brothers !
5:20 catching two gliders, you're just showing off now! lovely video.
Family that flies together stays together.
Oh yeah, nothing like a day with a beautiful background.
Brilliant, but I hope "No gliders were harmed during the making of this film" holds true.
Only just!
I love how the combatants are basically colour co-ordinated with their charge....you are both very skillful, it’s a pleasure to watch
The Perranporth flight demo team .......... Nice .......... makes me smile !
Que c'est beau, et quel endroit sublime pour voler. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Beautiful .... i love it..
Time spent with our brothers..... thank God for my brothers. No one has ur back like a bro
Two beautiful gliders. And the back and gold on the Sinbad makes it really stand out.
This is so pretty!!!
Love it , more please 😉👍👍🇺🇸
Very nice John, I always enjoy your videos!!
Thank you!
Amazing energy management to keep those guys that close.
Oh gosh beautiful!! This Winter I'm getting after that enlarged Ben Buckle Sr. Playboy. I love your videos/inspiration :-)
Loved it I have never seen you crash. U r human!
I miss the pretty young ladies from the previous formation video, but this is a most worthy offering on its' own. Superb!
love it. so relax
Instead of calling. You. Guys the ThunderBirds. I’m. Calling you the Gliding Birds Team !! I like the loop one does and the other cruises by !!! Way to go ! 😃
I don’t know why when watching John’s videos there’s a smile in my face... Please someone tell me the cause!!! :)
Well maybe you just can't help it! 😁

Don't know the answer... but I have the same ailment! :o)
John Colvin hahahahaha
You need to break wind. ;-)
John's videos and flying captur the essence of what 'flying' is all about. He captures a child's innocence and awe of discovering something for the first time which is in us all. Even when he does it over and over again it never loses this refreshing innocence. If ever we need an antidote to the mad modern world we inhabit today then this is it. And where better to capture it than on the Cornish coast. Or maybe I am reading too much into it, why not just enjoy it without understanding why?
That is something special right there
nice tandem flop!!
Magic Formation Flyer...😉👍🌠🌠🌠
Thank you.
Love the Sinbad...bought one myself. Just have to build it. This winter probably.
So peaceful
I have always loved black and gold :)
Beautiful flying and filming. Great team work, but there did seem to be a competitive edge nearer the end. I hope no damage was sustained. Two planes with a big speed differential could be interesting . . . one flying nice sedate patterns while the other runs circles, rolls and loops around it. Well, maybe some day.
Lol, vintage slope combat! Awesome!
fantastikus
Like a pair of doves flying...
Just magical!
tHE Beautiful
👍up before the vid starts and don't skip the ads. I'm sure John will keep posting weather or not he makes any money from CZcams. However he will most likely spend the money on a sweet new or vintage plane, and we will all get to enjoy that 😁
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoy the videos. I certainly enjoy making them!
I wish I had a spot like that.
Delightful.
Perfection!
Hi John,
That was some exquisite formation flying. Nice double retrieve. Katherine is doing an awesome job keeping both of you in view. Does she do the video editing? You all stay safe.
Thanks again. She takes the video but I edit it. I enjoy the editing.
I love the camera work I think she is my sister. When do you get to do the gull tempting with chips you can do it as pair in the air.
Nice job...
Great again. Keep them coming. I was trying to work out what mode you fly.
Thank you. I fly mode 2
Keeping it real, love it
Nice,
Brilliant
Great vídeo. I loved it. Where is this beautiful place? I'm from Brazil and here in my region I have some dunes that I will fly with the lazy bee that my friend is doing. Tks
Hi there, this is Cornwall U.K.
Greta would approve :)
очень красиво!
Glad you pointed out which one was your brother, so now we know how to tell the difference when we meet you in the street. He is the one wearing the floppy hat. Are you twins? 😁
Nope, a year apart.
@@SlopeRCGliders Almost as close as you could be then. ^_^
Funny thing. Now I've got a picture in my mind of a biplane Sinbad........... I wonder.
It could work well...
hello John Woodfield.
I subscribed to your CZcams channel and I thank you for your beautiful videos. thousand bravo. I have a question: where are you flying? Where is this place by the sea where you have your gliders flying ? Thank you for your answer. ( i am from Paris)
Thank you. I’m in Perranporth Cornwall U.K.
John, your videos just keep getting better! Any chance you'll make the plans to the Ocean Breeze available, via Outerzone or other online source? It would be a fun build.
Moe Shipley yes, ill definitely get round to sharing the plan soon...
@@SlopeRCGliders Thank you!
A ballet on the on the wind.
Running out of superlatives....😁
Super vol en duo, combien pèse un planeur ? ? Kgs ?
Merci pour cette vidéo, très belle musique . Bonjour de Paris
Who in the family has the connection to music? Is the wife a music major or music teacher? Every tune seems appropriate to the flying.
Thank you. It must just be luck as none of us are musical..
I was waiting for the formation loops! Perhaps next time.
To formation fly, I believe it's not size that has to be the same, but sink rate and the key there is wing loading more than glide angle.
Not sure though.
Yes, it’s not to do with the size.
Just discovered your channel.
Do you always fly at Perranporth?
I’m down the road in Hayle, but often come up to Perranporth.
(Getting into FPV quads recently. But want to try slope / gliders.)
Hi there. I live in Perranporth so it’s really convenient for me to fly from here, but I do sometimes fly at other places. If the wind is from the East I go down towards Gwythian. You are more than welcome to come fly any of my gliders.
John Woodfield RC Gliders that’s a super kind offer.
I would certainly like to come and look at them in action.
Don’t think I would want to fly one of yours in case I messed up.
But maybe I could follow your glider with my fpv quad and get some shots for both of us. :)
Are you a member of any Facebook flying groups or anything like that?
biscuitsalive I’m on several Facebook glider flying groups. It would be great to get some air to air footage!
John Woodfield RC Gliders I’ve just added you on FB. (Blake)
Very beautiful! Is the Sinbad a scratch build or is it from a kit? I have a hard time evaluating its scale from only video.
Thank you. It’s a scratch built Sinbad with a 93” span.
John Woodfield RC Gliders looks stunning! You are the reason why I have started trying my luck at sloping.
I wander what the name of the music was..?
Sinbad ftw!
Wonderful!!! Who is filming?
Luckily my wife always comes out and films my flying.
@@SlopeRCGliders Wow, are you lucky!!!
Enrique Kramer but what is even better, is that the slope is just a short walk from my house.
@@SlopeRCGliders Deep envy, in this case, is a healthy feeling!!!
Gosto muito dos planadores do John. Muito legal mesmo. Se houver alguém aí que vende plantas de aeromodelos, favor informar. Já vi em sites o problema é imprimir na escala corretamente.
Be great if you could capture some onboard footage !
I do have a few onboard videos (have a look at the onboard playlist) but it would be great to get some air to air footage.
John Woodfield RC Gliders Yes, have seen your onboard videos and really enjoyed them ! I was just thinking air to air with these beautiful classic gliders would be amazing. Be great if you could do it at some point. Cheers.
Are you Ocean Breeze plans on outerzone:) - would love to build one..
I will get round to sharing the plans soon...
Glider dog figth :-)
Mantap kang, harganya berapa ya?
Brothers, competitive? Nah ;-)
FIRST!!
Hate to say it but hes better looking and flies better than you John. Time to take up model trains... ;)
Haha now I know that’s not true!
