00:25 Gliding today has developed into a sport that can be easily mastered by anyone with a desire to learn.
00:32 Yeah, nothing to it.
00:34 First, test the prevailing winds by means of the wind sock.
00:38 Then choose the proper terrain and make sure the takeoff is clear of all obstacles, particularly trees and telephone poles.
00:45 [Laughter]
00:47 [Music]
00:57 Turn into the wind, wind up, test your equipment and take off!
01:02 [Music]
01:11 Faster, faster!
01:13 More speed! More speed!
01:16 [Music]
01:19 Uh-huh, we did not attain sufficient altitude.
01:22 Gosh!
01:24 [Music]
01:27 Now, the towing method.
01:29 With a rope attached to the nose, the glider should be pulled rapidly along until it has attained the necessary speed to carry it into the air,
01:37 somewhat in the manner of flying a kite.
01:39 [Music]
01:52 Oh, aye, aye, over a tree will flow.
01:59 [Gurgling]
02:04 Don't let minor mishaps dampen your spirits.
02:09 Keep cool and try more speed.
02:15 Now, launching the glider by mechanical means.
02:19 Greater speed can be attained by this method.
02:23 However, the system can become involved.
02:27 [Music]
02:32 Hey, come back here! Wait for me!
02:35 Should an unforeseen emergency arise, never allow the craft to get out of hand.
02:40 Whatever happens, don't give up the ship.
02:43 [Music]
02:57 This method having proved somewhat unsuccessful, let us scan the book for a better method.
03:05 The catapult is one of the most ingenious and scientific devices used in aerodynamics
03:11 to project the craft with the speed of a bullet into the stratosphere.
03:15 [Music]
03:18 [Gurgling]
03:21 Oh, aye, aye, yep, we'll fly high.
03:29 I'm brave, but I'm careful.
03:35 To open parachute, jump, count to ten, and pull the string.
03:39 Okay. Count to ten and pull string.
03:43 Yeah!
03:45 Count to ten, pull string.
03:53 [Coughing]
03:56 [Splash]
04:01 I made it! I made it!
04:04 Yes, the catapult has the advantage of gaining altitude immediately.
04:09 [Music]
04:30 I'm glad this came up.
04:32 Now don't forget to count ten and pull a string.
04:38 One, two, three, four, uh, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Pull!
04:54 [Clearing throat]
04:56 We will take up how to land at a later date.
05:00 [Whistling]
05:04 Fly in the sky like the birds.
05:09 [Coughing]
05:10 Fly.
05:12 [Music]
05:20 Well, here we go again.
05:23 And now the spell that only birds can know.
05:27 The sky above, the earth below.
05:30 [Singing]
05:44 Birds.
05:45 [Music]
05:53 Hmm. Something wrong here.
05:56 [Music]
06:03 [Crying]
06:06 [Squeaking]
06:16 [Music]
06:24 [Roaring]
06:27 [Crashing]
06:31 [Clearing throat]
06:32 Should any of the foregoing methods fail, through some unforeseen quirk of fate,
06:38 then use your own ideas.
06:41 For after all, launching a glider is really very easy.
06:44 Just remember these simple fundamental facts.
06:48 One, the initial impetus.
06:50 Two, the low and high aspect ratio.
06:54 Three, control of equilibrium.
06:57 Four, theory of convection currents.
07:00 Five, the principles of abstract aerostatics, and so forth, and so on, etc., etc.
07:08 [Music]
07:20 Truly, you can't keep a good man down.
07:24 [Rumbling]
07:32 [Singing]
07:39 Come on now, everybody, sing!
07:41 [Singing]
07:50 [Music]
