Schempp-Hirth Ventus 3m Self-Launching Glider Takeoff | Sky Sailing Club Warner Springs

The Schempp-Hirth Ventus 3m self-launching glider takes off from Sky Sailing Club in Warner Springs, California.

Garret Willat is in the cockpit during this flight, guiding the aircraft as the engine powers the runway roll. After liftoff, the glider smoothly transitions into climb and heads toward the mountain range, marking a clean departure into the sky.

Sky Sailing Club in Warner Springs has a strong soaring culture where gliders are a regular sight and flying activity stays consistent throughout the day. This takeoff fits naturally into that environment.

Scot Copeland follows the full sequence of the flight, from start of the roll to the early climb phase.
