If you are a glider nut like me, you have to love the beauty and grace of vintage and modern scale gliders. Out of all of the types of R/C soaring, I enjoy filming big scale planes the most, and I have put together a new collection of the best footage I have shot over that past few years.

Getting scale gliders on video is no easy task, it’s hard to get the best pilots flying the right planes and the perfect weather conditions needed. My new DVD is almost 2 hours of footage where all of these factors came together, and the results are spectacular. Make sure you watch the trailer as it will give you a tiny but enticing taste of the DVD’s stunning content.

You will first visit the prestigious 2007 JR aero tow event where North America's top pilots gathered to fly the biggest and baddest 1/3 to 1/2 scale gliders. We're talking BIG planes here guys! Featured sailplanes include a 1/2 scale ASW-28 with on-board video camera, soaring champion Mike Smith's 1/3 carbon DG-800, a rare 1/3 Horton Parabola flying wing, and Eric Myers amazing jet-powered Fox aerobatic plane. The flight sequences flown by these pro pilots set to classical music are amazingly cool.

I have seen and filmed everything in soaring, but I have to say I was totally impressed by the quality of planes and piloting at this event. I think you’ll be impressed too when you see these big scale planes fly.

After you settle down from the aero tow event, check out the extensive extras on the DVD. You will find four informative interviews with some of the JR pilots who talk about their models in great detail. There’s lots more flying too, with hot aerobatic sequences flown by the sport’s best like Peter Goldsmith’s 1/3 DG-800 show-stopping aerobatics at the SEFF and Steve Condon’s epic Discus flight during a thunderstorm at Los Banos.

Other extras include a classic Minmoa cruising the cliffs of Torrey Pines, and I fly my 1/3 Discus in huge air conditions at Oregon’s gorgeous Peterson Butte slope in a very unscale like manner. (very radical) After watching all of this scale flying, if you don’t yet own a scale glider, you soon will!

I think this DVD is my best action soaring film yet, and if you don’t like it, you can return it for a refund of your purchase price. Runtime: 1hr + 45 mimutes
