Proximity hang gliding! | Red Bull Adventure

Self launch gliders come with a retractable engine that lets pilots take off on their own power. No towplane, no winch. Once in the sky, the engine folds away and the aircraft soars silently like a sailplane. Here’s how it looks in action at Crystal, captured beautifully by Soaring Academy. #motorGlider #selflaunch #gliderpilot #soaring #sailplane #aviationlife #avgeek #aviationgeek #aviationlovers #soaringacademy #learn2fly #highdesert #losangelesaviation | Glider Airstrip
