At this site I intent to frequently post movies of flights with my remote controlled glider (Hype RELAX II) over some of the beautiful landscapes in the Netherlands, mostly around the town of Wageningen with the river Rhine, the Wageningse berg and forests and heather fields. It gives you a very different perspective at this landscape with the glider going up to ~250m and sometimes flying very close to ground, mostly as a glider, but also many times using its electrical engine to reach the altitude and, sometimes, to do some more fast dives, rolls, loopings. Enjoy it!

Nice flight with fog conditions over the Rhine!

After some quite period, here a new video that I made on a beautiful quite Saturday morning having spectacular fog conditions over the river Rhine near Wageningen. The dew was not complete which made it possible to fly but had to turn the camera around to avoid a complete blocked view (I have tried this before but then the lens was completely wet). The river was dampy also contributing to the fog and then, combined with the nice sunrise, made it a perfect morning to fly,

Here you can download/watch a short movie:

and here an extended version that also includes some low passes over the river and following ascents

Flight over de Eng, Wageningen, very nice stable evening

Here you can find a nice recording of a flight I made on this very stable evening over the eastern part of Wageningen with a nice view of the large surrounding area including the Wageningse berg, the old and new campus, de Zoom and also the Rhine.
