Please do not break the will of 10 photos and videos.
There is in the northeast of the small town of Belarus Syanno is right between Vitebsk and Orsha. Special architectural landmarks has unfortunately remained.

The speed depends on the type of glider wing can be up to 150 km / h. I flew on slow wing, the speed of the order of 80 km / h ± wind. Generally almost all phones are homemade the basis of a petrol engine of Japanese cars (Honda, Subaru), as block head tsillinrov not iron and engine itself is much easier.

Thing for me was terrible - it's taking off and landing. Precision landing, take-off has not yet managed to scare.
