Misty and stormy weather (40-60 km/h) at coast in Brittany. Newertheless, the first flight of ARCUS 8m should have been done in this marvelous county of Finistère/Brittany. Thanks to my brother Peter I, nephew Felix and Laurent for the launch, and special thanks to Gilles Gohier (pilote in the rear) to whom I dedicate this flight. Greetings from France. Music by U137
The lift it got was immediate, what a great soarer. Fantastic job on the build and cg. So inspirational. Such a joy to watch.That beauty just doesn’t want to come back down to Earth.🕊🏴❤️
I am late (= 3y)..... / but anyway.................. // I do quote: "what a great soarer"...... // I guess, even a toilet seat cover would be able to soar over a cliff in that dynamic wind situation......🙃😆 // video itself: nice.... ! // team work during T/O = nice..... !! / rc-pilots job: nice...... !
Wow! That was well done! Gliders have always fascinated me! They seem like gentle dying Giants. There quiet.. just sort of blend in with nature around them. Like working fields with horses. You can hear every stone that the plow turns over! Respect and congrats from the States!!
Thank you for your philosophical comment. Very touching!!!
Superb in every way, from conception , flying and brilliant camera work, music, uplifting , words are not enough....thank you.
Thank you for your kind comment. Encouraging for us, thanks!
Now that is a sailplane. It is fast and very nimble, but so gracious. Awesome job.
Thanks Biagio, nice comment!
Watching this was amazing! The way you flew, the music and the scenery makes it all so perfect! What a great job!!
Thank you Magnus, kind and encouraging mention !!
Three dimensional poetry in motion backed by a beautiful sound track. Thanks for sharing and great team work by the assistants
Thank you Chris. Nice, encouraging and warming comment for all of us.
I fly RC too but not gliders... yet. But when this was launched so seemingly effortlessly it made me Smile from ear to ear.... and I never smile. Beautiful.
And if your smile between your ears goes down to your heart, I feel delighted too!!
Beautiful to watch, captivating, can't believe how stable it was in that wind great video well done
Very beautiful glider and his flight. Amazing ...
Brilliant team work! But who else kept skipping back to see how close to the edge he got as he tried to recover from the launch run . Now I know if anyone should ask help to launch I will choose to hold the back of the plane.
Fantastic footage on a gorgeous glider!
Amazing, You could almost hear her at the beginning saying "let me go let me go"
An absolutely gorgeous machine - bravo! 😁👍🏼👍🏼❤
Thanks for your Kind mention !!
Grazie
Oh wow! Wonderful to watch this. Kudos to all involved! The model itself, the piloting, shooting and edit superb. Altogether tremendous! Many thanks, and keep on flying!
Wow. Amazing, especially the guys who ran towards a cliff edge to launch it!!
HOW COOL IS THAT!!!! Giant scale sailplanes. Awesome
I have experianced in glider flight for one year, now I watch this aeromodeling very good in high performance in high speed. Congratulation !
I've watched this vid quite a few times now and it's as inspirational as the first view.hundreds of hours of work to create this baby and it's first flight.it cod have flown with a simple toss at first throw without having to go to edge of cliff.it shows at landing that this little beauty just wanted to keep soaring.the music and response from this little baby's pilot and he's well earned feelings of an accomplishment portrait in vid is unsupassable.best vid I've seen in a real long while.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you Gerg, your kind mention is a very touching moment for us. Thanks again...
What a beautiful flight . The love that went into building that glider is unsurpassed .Loved it ,from America.
Thank you Brian, agreeing with you !!
Wonderful aircraft, excellent !
You've got have nerves of steel to toss such a wonderful ship off the side of the hill...but, oh the rewards ! One of the videos I share when people ask me 'what did you do this weekend' and when I have to explain when I say 'slope' ! Magnificent !
Beyond fabulous!
Thank you Martin, a very nice comment. I do the same. Showing the video to my friends, but I`m watching and listening it very often myself...!!!!
What a beautiful bird. And 9:10 ... that right there us a happy man. Well deserved sir, enjoy that beauty.
Thank you so much
What a beautiful aircraft and so expertly flown!!
Thank you Wayne
This video exemplifies the pure majesty of flight.
Thank you Roy, nice and touching comment!!
That was amazing. I can’t wipe the grin off my face. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thank you very much. Nice and touching comment!!
Beautiful plane, piloting skills, and video! I've watched several times and can enjoy it more now, knowing your crew survived the launch. Brings back great memories flying gliders off the coast of Southern California, including Torrey Pines, many years ago.
Thank you, should do it again. Nothing is more easier, than gliding in laminary air flow nearby the coast.
Thanks for showing the Video. What a marvelous job all the way around. Good Team work.
Thanky for your kind mention
I was very nervous and cluttered. I watched this clip. And now, quite relaxed and overwhelmed by the pleasure, I put myself on the waves with this beautiful bird and embraced the soft music . Let it be whatever it wanted. These moments give me everything. Thanks friends.
Happy to see you glad with this video, for us, the possibility to unify our hobby with the pleasures of this wonderful nature, given to us and obviously destroyed very soon by ourselves. Take these moments in your mind and your heart.
Beautiful video. Captures the emotions too and I bet they were intense. Gorgeous ship, great flying skills, just grand. Bollocks of steel to launch that one bedroom apartment with wings in such conditions.... Wow!
Thank you Olivier. A very great comment. We feel flattered
@@gprrobby Purée! Brittany!!! La bretagne! Comme le titre était en Anglais j'ai pas calculé j'ai écrit en Anglais. Bon alors superbe vol, superbe machine, le monsieur derrière les manches: la grande classe. Le lancement dans la pente!... Il m'aurait fallu des couches.... Ah, et n'oublions pas le caméraman, les prises de vues sont spéctaculaires, ça mérite un pastis ou deux!!! Merci de partager cette superbe video, ça fait rêver. Encore!!!
Excellant flying too
I was realy moved. Beautiful.
Thank you Mickal
I still watch this occasionally to remind me what life is all about!
Absolutely amazing👌
Fantastic. Immaculately flown as usual. Superb...
Thank you Lyall. Hope to continue !
awesome,thx so much!!! greetings from US
I used to build and fly R/C Sailplanes when I was a kid. There isn't anything better than flying an airplane that was build by ones' own hands from a slope over looking the ocean!!! Nice video, nice scenery, thanks millions!!
I Thank you too for your kind mention!
this thing WANTED to fly ! didnt take much to get it in the air. freaking awesome video.
Thank you Steve, really, it is like you said.
What an incredibly beautiful bird.
That is the most beautiful expression of flight that I’ve ever seen.
Thank you so much, nice mention
The waves look so awesome for surfing!
That somehow felt very calming to watch...
Thanks for your kind mention
Me too
He looked quite comfortable in the cockpit did Tom cruise.
Yeah very calming the guy almost drops from the clif at 2.32
Amazing flight! One of most beautiful gliders I’ve ever seen. Congrats!
Thank you Denis, I totally agree with you !!
simply beautiful. great flight. much enjoyed thank you
So smooth, so lovely, looks as though it belongs in that environment. Beauty & Grace! Well Done!!& Thanks for Sharing...
Thanks for your lovely comment. Getting tears in my eyes !!!
Amazing flight ! Bravo ! 👍🏻
Glorious video and a stunning achievement. Thank you for sharing. Currently on holidays on the east coast of Australia in a house on a headland with continuous onshore wind, perfect for sloping from the property with unbelievable coastal views and my plane is sitting at home. Aaaagh. At least I have your lovely work to admire! Cheers, Dave
Thank you Dave. Always have a pocket plane with you.
This beautiful model is so well flown- many thanks to the constructor and pilot.
Thank you Graham
Truly a great video, and background music, we need more of these on you tube today. Theres something incredible, about simple flying or sailing, or its association with the sea, and wind, maybe its freedom.
...and peace! Thanks so very much !!
sooo wonderfull! Perfect glider, skills and sesational environment. What a blast! 😎💫🤙
Thanks, nice comment
The scenery, the plane and music were totally lovely!
Thank you Brian, very nice comment
One step short of the real thing. Excellent music accompaniment..
Thank you David. A short and emotional step to the real eternal. Thank you again.
Wow she's a beauty. The tension was amazing. Lovely to watch.
I fly model gliders too and that model is absolutely stunning to see in the air. Also the hands in the air and the smile on landing says it all, I hope you have many flights with this model.
Thank you very much. Nice and encouraging comment!
@@gprrobby , Hi author, what kinde of airfoil you used ? ..
Very, VERY cool! Well done Capt!
Memories. Nothing better than learning how to fly in or with a glider. Like a bird.
Thank you Ronald
I have no idea about this ....but this is one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen...so glad I ran across this. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you Pamela, so glad and proud of your comment. Very touching !!
Beautiful plane, EXCELLENT camera work! My jaw dropped when I saw how the motor deployed.
Thank you Jon.
Motor ??
Pretty much a perfect maiden voyage. Well done and great music! Thanks!
Thank you
At the begining of the flight some sea gulls approached the glider to recognize and cumpliment it. Splendid footage, music and glider.
Mike, you hit it. Thank you!!
@@gprrobby It's my pleasure.. I love any sort of thing that flies, except extraterrestrials...rs...
Absolutely gorgeous! Well done. An amazing, majestic aircraft indeed. I can imagine the Wright Brothers pretty much doing what you did here with their glider back in 1902 :)
Thanks for your nice comment
Absolutely beautiful videography, music, gorgeous sailplane and environment!
Thank you Jim
A craft of beauty soaring on the ether
The bigger you build them, the sweeter they fly.
The waves look sooo surfable!!!!
Fabuleux! Bravo Très belle video
Merci André
Absolutely stunning!
What a Beautiful plane to see and watch. Well Done!
Thank you Ken, nice comment
Wow! Amazing! Beautiful aircraft and beautiful flight!
Thank you Heidi !
Tolles Video. Toller Flug! Und sehr schöne Aussicht.
Ja das stimmt ich kenne dich schon von mehreren Videos wo du was in die Kommentare geschrieben hast 😂 😆 😝
@@pengucraftnetwork374 are you sure ??

@@gprrobby LOL
This freedom... a powerless flight... I'm overwhelmed... like a bird... brings tears to my eyes. I felt this action deeply. I felt as though it could've been endless.
Thank you Peter, looking the video again and again, we feel the same and are impressed of what we`ve done !!
Brings back wonderful memories. Fantastic. Thank you.
Thank you, very touching comment!
Congratulations, that was fantastic.
I've gone on a diet. Maybe in a couple years I can get in it. It's such a beautiful and graceful sailplane, it's just the inspiration I was looking for!
Would be fine to come back to the roots...! Thank you very much !!
The quality of the video is excellent... I know it's not important compared to the subject matter but it does help enjoy watching this magnificent machine. Well done.
Merci Bernard, bonne continuation !
Wonderful ! Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic! What a pity we can"t hear the sound of that wings whistling
By a wind of 65 km/h, you won`t be able listening the sound of the wings!
@@gprrobby try us ;P
A really great glider video, felt like i was there. Well done!
Thank you Frederik
Congradulations on the build and sucessful first flight of your Arcus 8M. Simply brilliant!
Thank you Kenny, nice and warming comment!
What an amazing video, thanks for sharing and great job. The grin on your face after it landed was priceless. Congrats from Florida !!
Thank you, a nice and touching mention. Would you fly with flip flops on in our winter landscape...???
@@gprrobby Oh no, only in sunny Florida do I fly in flip flops. In fact flip flops are the state shoe in Florida. :-)
Looking up at this fabulous glider is, for me, looking up at heaven. I can't get enough of the slender wings. Spectacular! My respects to those that sacrificed themselves to launch it! 😉
Thank you very much. And, in fact, the wings in the form of those of an albatros astonished everybody at first release of the original in 2009. For me, the most beautiful modern glider !!!
@@gprrobby Yes, I was going to say they have an organic feel to their shape. The Wandering Albatross is my favourite bird and I may have to build a semi looking but full scale one some time.
Great flying! Great bunch of friends all coming together. That's what it's all about - enjoyed the video very much. Blessings, johnny :-)
Thank you Johnny, god bless you !
Simply beautiful.
Super relaxing to watch this bird fly!
Thank you Anil
Wow! Simply Beautiful! I have done almost everything Rc related Planes, Helis, Quads, Cars, Boats and even Motorcycles! I have 3 gliders a Renny 2m a Pulsar 3m and a chopped up Manticore 2m that I have always wanted to slope which I have never done... You have just inspired me to make sure that I do! Thank you for sharing that beautiful bird and majestic flight. Bravo! well done!
Thank you Mike. What aboiut two other videos with this Arcus 1:2,5...? Here they are:kzhead.info?o=U&video_id=T_RjxZnxYm8 kzhead.info?o=U&video_id=LaAtOv2kbaQ Bon amusement Mike !!
@@gprrobby I can not believe it's been 4 years and I am just now ready and searching for the right place to fly. I'm sure I have seen the other videos but I will gladly watch again as I'm doing now. Stay blessed and enjoy! Thanks!
Such a beautiful wing profile.
Thank you John. New glider types coming back to the roots...Wings in form of an albatros !!
what a sublime and beautiful machine.
Nice and warming short comment. Thanks!
It’s beautiful, I think the sailplane is the most elegant of all aircraft. Thank you for sharing the beauty of your experience.
Thank you, nice and encouraging comment!
That was so inspiring thank you. I owned a full size Open Cirrus. I cannot fly full sized now so bought a Graupner 3 metre model. I am happy in my full sized one but too scared to fly the model so I am opposite to you. I got a lot of joy from your video. So inspiring and a beautiful team effort. Thank you. Pilot Pete from New Zealand
Thank you Pete, a great honour for us to have such a nice comment from a distance of 20000km!
Nicely done, sir! I have watched this several times and am fascinated each time. I have two motor gliders that I"m learning on, but you are way past me. Great flying and great camera work.
Thank you Pete, nice comment. Very encouraging for us !
amazing, very beautiful, congrats
WOW ! You guys give me such uplift when I needed it most ! Merci Beaucoup !
Thank you, feeling grooovy!!!!
Красивый планер, красивый полет! Крылья как у птицы! Замечательное место, замечательные добрые люди, вот бы там полетать на параплане....
What an exhilarating event! I loved watching this great launching of a real work of art, such a beautiful craft and how the three involved and the friends filming were all together with this great first flight. I wonder how close the guy with the white stocking cap came from running off the edge of what was maybe a cliff! Also an amazing feat of craftsmanship and design to create such a remarkable craft. If I didn't know it was a model, and with the very real looking pilots that reminded me of the guy at the controls and the guy with the dark hair that helped launch. I like how the natural plants were tossing in the wind and how the sea gulls flew with the craft too! It would be great fun flying that in many settings with such a beautiful coast. Is it structured for aerobatics too? I suppose that all comes only with a lot of practice as I'm sure does with how to launch and also how to operate the controls. Thanks for sharing this great video!
I´m very pleased about your mention. In the beginning (2010) the making of videos at Brittany`s coasts and the Menez Hom, was to have souvenirs of our hollidays, souvenirs that never come again, like the growing up of our youngest pilot, my nephew Felix who startet at the age of 11, and who is now an experimented and very skilled radiocontroller of big gliders. And, to be honest, I made these videos espacially for myself, for several times a day having nice gliders in a beautiful "entourage" to please my eyes and the music (not certainly for everybody!!!) to calm and flatter my ears. and, truely, what can be more beautiful than watching a 1:2,5 Arcus passing in front of your eyes at the same altitude and a distance of 15-20 m., over the sea in laminary flow and 7-8 beauforts ??? I´m getting goose bumps writing this. Thanks very much for your kind comments, a pure warming up !!!
years ago, in the mid 70's in fact, i worked with some RC enthusiasts and we used to go bungy and slope soaring on the south downs, great evenings watching the gliders going back and forth along the slopes, so pleasant.
Thank you Harry, nice comment. Why not to restart your RC enthousiasm again. Me too, I had a pause of 20 years.!!
Really well built and flown graceful like a wandering albatross Lovely to see
Thank you. Very nice and encouraging comment
Super szybowiec, super lot, super szczęśliwi ludzie. Gratulacje!
Una delle più belle espressioni di libertà ......complimenti !!!
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Scott, nice comment!
Beautiful craft, excellent flying skills and lovely chill out music. Well done guys 👍
Thank you, nice and encouraging comment
Excellent !!! Congratulations !!! Juro que pensé que cuando lo soltaran se iría de narices hacia el precipicio pero voló como si estuviese acostumbrado a hacerlo solo !!! La mejor imagen cuando vuela junto a las aves.Disfruté mucho este video sumado a la apropiada música de U137 - Pearl Lakes.
Gracie Enrique, nice comment. You`re welcome !
