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!

Over Wageningen campus

And another post on a nice flight over the Wageningen University campus. Not very sunny but still a nice quite and stable evening allowing to capture a good view over this part of Wageningen. This recording also includes the approach (avoiding light poles, trees, etc) and making a smooth landing.

Over Veluwemeer, close to Elburg

Here a link to a flight over the Veluwemeer close to Elburg (also going there with my nephews) getting a great view of this part of NL seeing the difference between the generally shallow sandy waters and the deeper "vaargeul" to the west but also the "Flevo polders". Next time possibly a flight over the old city of Elburg...

RC glider flying low over the Rhine; Another nice flight in the Wageningse Uiterwaarden, 1st of September

Here a link to a movie of a very nice flight in the Wageningse floodplains on the 1st of September (for the Wageninger that I met in the field; hope you like to see the result from the gliders point of view including the overview of the houses at the Veerweg; the glider is a Hype RELAX II)
I selected this location to also do some flying over the river Rhine. Capturing these nice movies is fun but the most essential and fun part is flying on such stable evenings with the glider flying so steady. I sometimes have the glider that distant that I should not make any error since then I might need have to go for a swim to recover it.
