The quality of this video is just spectacular. *Looks like a very

not the real thing (full scale sailplanes with pilots) it is fun to
watch while the snow flies. *These kinds of shots would be simply
amazing in real life but just too dangerous to get with any degree of
safety margin. *Enjoy.

8.4 meter ASH-31, according to the credits - about 1/4 scale?


The ASH 31 is 18/21 meter - 1/4 scale would be the equivalent of 33 meters!

1:2.5 is sometimes a scale that gets used. It is likely this one from
H Model since I didnt see anything from Rosenthal
