Greetings from Poland, blue skies! ✌️

[@SteFly]

Thank you! ✌

[@maexmaestermann471]

Stefan, Du lebst den Traum, toll!!!!! Verfolge Dich schon seit Jahren!

[@SteFly]

Super, das freut mich :)

[@Mookie1340]

I know nothing about gliding, but it’s nice that you point out the signs to show where the thermals are. Great filming .

[@charliebrown8278]

Love that last airport! It looks like a very cool spot to visit. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Looks like you guys had a great time.

[@SteFly]

We had a blast! Farrenberg is really a great airfield and the view from the mountain top is amazing.

[@PilotAndrea]

Hi Stefan, great compliments for this new Episode, I really love your videos. Especially the "Traveling by Glider" series. As I'm foremost flying in the Alps I'm really looking forward to the next release! Always happy landings and best regards, Andrea

[@lukashacklander1586]

first thumbs up and then watch the video ❤

[@hpk31]

We had our gliding camp in Lüsse just south of Brandenburg when you made this flight. Amazing experience with 2 weeks of great flights!

[@SteFly]

Ah awesome! You had good flying weather... not to compare with the weeks afterwards.

[@hpk31]

@@SteFly we were extremely lucky indeed!

[@IgorVolkov]

Wonderful trip! Very good adventure

[@SteFly]

Thanks Igor!

[@sierrazulu]

Thanx for pictures your adventure flight!! We had great condition in Poland in July, but now it is time to go to fly in French alps...

[@SteFly]

Weather was als crap in Germany the last 3 - 4 weeks. Glad to had a planned break without competitions and less flying, so that I can prepare for the SGP finals and WGC in Australia. France is also planned mid of September ;)

[@b_wisniewski]

Videos from your gliding travels are just fantastic. Great job!

[@SteFly]

Great that you are enjoying them :)

[@gilnemesis3547]

Nice trip, thanks for sharing.

[@oshadilakshini2878]

Best of luck.be safe.fly more.❤

[@dilipbasumatary2499]

Looks fun....that's what I want to do when I am well off after some time

[@glidingNRW]

Der blaue Wagen der dich am Anfang gezogen hat, ist das nicht der vom Bundestrainer (der ist mein Patenonkel)?

[@Lithuanian.aviation]

HI I love your videos

[@SteFly]

Thank you!!

[@AndrzejSiembida]

Thanks for another great movie! A quick question: you seem to have some overlay info in your xcsoar, visible at 2:57. I assume these show arrival altitudes on nearby landables. How did you set it up? I cannot find such option in xcsoar setup. Thanks!

[@SteFly]

I think it's only the thermal assist? And of course the standard arrival bar for the target (which is standard)

[@MrAneigher]

lol "flaps negative, think positive". Did you get that from Zach Yamauchi?

[@SteFly]

That's a common saying :D

[@nathangrimes641]

Nice flying. Looks like a great time. If you had to land out, do you have a plan with a trailer?

[@SteFly]

Worst case my dad would have picked me up by trailer :D

[@Pharadoxon]

Farrenberg, close to where I live :D

[@SteFly]

Great airfield with an interesting approach :D

[@lefredo91]

Love it, as always. What is the black thing sliding on the left wing at 11:30?

[@klier8737]

its a bug wiper

[@warmworm2563]

Hey Stefan love your videos. I'm a new LS3 owner do you have any comments about the glider?

[@SteFly]

Thank you! The LS3 is an amazing glider especially with bug wipers and winglets. Sealing the gap between fuselage and flaperons is also very important. Other than this, just enjoy flying it :) Flap setting is more or less intuitive and I don't think it's very critical if you don't have the perfect setting.

[@warmworm2563]

Thanks, looks like you really enjoy your LS3 and I hope I do too :) @@SteFly

[@SteFly]

@@warmworm2563 The best performing glider for a "budget" and it really gives a lot of feedback.

[@AdNubes]

Hallo Stefan, was würde bei einer Aussenlandung passieren? Müsste aus eurem Heimat Flugplatz euch abholen. Soweit ich weiß ist es auch möglich das man nach einer Aussenlandung wieder in die Luft geschleppt wird, ist das eine Option? Schönes Video übrigens

[@SteFly]

Bei einer Aussenlandung muss man mit einem speziellen Anhänger abgeholt werden. Wenns weiter weg ist, würde ich erst einmal versuchen einen Verein in der nähe zu finden, der evtl. hilfsbereit ist. Sonst würde mich schon jemand aus der Familie oder vom Verein holen. F-Schlepp vom Feld ist in Deutschland leider nicht legal möglich, in Australien z.B. geht das aber. Vielen Dank, freut mich!

[@Submontica]

Bro took the glide to Poland 🇵🇱

[@markusbrunner5597]

firecastle :-)

[@PJH1111]

Is weight and balance a concern? You can't really measure the CG easily and you are packing a lot of stuff so it seems....

[@SteFly]

All the luggage is in the center of gravity or slightly forward. So that's not critical.

[@PJH1111]

@@SteFly Silly me, good point :)

[@MichaelProtoss]

have U ever landed in Poland?

[@620ironwolf]

How are you able to fund this trip?

[@SteFly]

It's less expensive than you think. On this trip I assume the cheapest aero-tow cost about 25 €, the most expensive in Switzerland something between 100 - 150€. So not much more expensive than any other vacation... assuming you don't need to pay for the glider and equipment.

[@limadeltazulu]

This last airstrip, at the top of the hill, what is its name? What locality is it?

[@SteFly]

Farrenberg, located in southern Germany

Biz bu dünyaya başkalarının güzel hayatını izlemek için gelmişiz. 😢

[@BondJFK]

A German coming to Poland via glider WW2 vibe

[@piotrwawrzynkiewicz9876]

That very past visit wasn't recreational adventure..

[@henryluebberstedt7819]

Honestly, I can't stand such fucking brainless comments any more. No one has a " WW-II-vibe" over here flying over Poland, esp. not glider pilots. There are many close relationships between German and Polish gliding clubs.

[@Fukenbumen]

Farrenberg is like flying from an aircraft carrier. I've had the privilege once, interesting field, nice people.

[@niuchajianfa6222]

how much does it cost to have a plane tow you up in the air like this?

[@SteFly]

It heavily depends on the location and flight time of the tow plane. Usually something between 25 - 50€ if it is not a very high or long tow.

[@niuchajianfa6222]

@@SteFly 50? blows my mind...the fuel would cost more than that right?...figured it would more like 2000 considering the labour of pilot and maintainence of the plane and how things are generally more expensive in europe....25 - 50€ is what i think a lady's haircut would cost
