Default Non-Stop Soaring Film Fest: Showcasing The Best Soaring Videos

If you don’t have a better final glide example, would that of Luka
Žnidaršič in a Lak 19 during a championship be suitable?

Although criticised by some, there is an explanation at the end of the

head wind, but kept plenty of speed on, and had landing options.
Straight in approaches were standard for that (and many other
competitions).
