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. But here is one that attracts many lovers of the sky - an abandoned airfield. In Soviet times, was used for the needs of small aircraft, airliners were even in the next town. Then, with the collapse of the Union of all come to desolation, but the runway is still more or less preserved. 15-20 years ago with commercials even hold some competitions, flying a large number of gliders.

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. Volume of engine different, here it is in the features and hands. Engine cooling water, the screw is made reducer, screw itself is made to order.

Feeling of unreality, as if you are sitting in the air in the back seat of the motorcycle. Hold especially not for that, so frantically clutching my camera, I think, with a drop of 300 meters it would clearly benefit not matter. That's kind of the machine from the ground:



Thing for me was terrible - it's taking off and landing. Precision landing, take-off has not yet managed to scare. Generally, the entire flight took place in a dream, the more that came out absolutely spontaneous. I came, I asked, and flew.
