Swiss Alps Gliding: Rigging and un-rigging the Antares 20E & Wave over Switzerland to 4500M

Here I show the complete rigging / un-rigging, played back at 15x speed, and a few scenes while in a Wave between Vilan and Chur (caused by the Southern Föhn winds blowing at about 35kmh). After leaving the wave (I wanted to check the weather at home base because of mispredicted thunderstorms), I pass by a few clouds, filmed thru the open window to avoid canopy reflections (hence high noise level!).

At 4500M (up to FL150 allowed on Sunday MIL OFF) I saw the SM competition gliders fly 2000M below me - an amazing sight!
